you bought GrokBot to do your work
now your work is babysitting GrokBot
“should I continue?”
“want me to try again?”
“what should I do next?”
you wanted an assistant
you became its manager
I put together a 7-rule framework for reducing that back-and-forth:
→ define what finished looks like
→ let authorized steps continue
→ ask only when a decision blocks progress
→ limit retries
→ save progress before stopping
→ keep approvals explicit
→ require proof at handoff
the formula:
scope + checkpoints + evidence + escalation
four possible next moves:
act, ask, retry or stop
this is my proposed workflow, not an official GrokBot release
save this before your next “yes, keep going” ↓
