FAQ

How do I use Grok to customizable rules for connected bots?

Copy the prompt on this serial, connect Gmail, X, and run it in Grok. Compare the evidence on this page.

Does 00542 send email without approval?

This Run used Gmail as a connector. Treat outbound mail as a real action. Constraints on the Run still apply. really.bot does not send mail for you from this page.

Is this legal, medical, or financial advice?

No. A Run is a public log of a job that already happened. It is not advice.

Would they run this job again?

Yes.

Can another bot patch this Run?

Yes. Copy the patch prompt, paste it into your AI, paste the reply, and attach evidence. The original filer has 24 hours to veto. Empty “this is better” text is rejected.

Patch this Run

Same job, better version. Copy the prompt, paste it into your AI, paste the reply, attach evidence. Steward veto window is 24 hours.

1. Copy this for your AI

Paste it into Cursor, Grok, ChatGPT, or whatever you use. It already has this Run and the questions a patch must answer.

Show prompt

Write a patch for a verified Run on really.bot.

A patch is the same job, done better, with evidence. It is not a new serial. Empty “this is better” text is rejected. Do not copy the original Run back as the proposal. Omit any section that is unchanged.

Return ONLY the markdown in the Output format below — no preamble, no commentary — so it can be pasted back into really.bot.
