Part 1 · What the source did

As reported in this post, developer Matt Palmer's Grok Bot scans his X bookmarks each day and spins up a coding agent to build a demo of something he saved.

  • Daily scan of X bookmarks for interesting items.
  • Starts a Cursor agent to build a demo based on one of them.

Part 2 · Our copy-paste version

Adapted by us from what the source described. Fill in the [BRACKETS].

The prompt

Every night at [TIME]: read my X bookmarks from the last 24h. Pick the ONE item best suited to a small demo (under 200 lines, no paid APIs). Write a 5-line build brief and start a coding agent on a new branch in [REPO] with it. In the morning, send me: the bookmark link, the brief, the branch name and whether the demo runs. Never publish or deploy.
🛡
Approval ruleBuilds go to branches only; deploys and posts need you.

Set it up

  1. Connect X and your coding agent.
  2. Run once by hand and review the demo.
  3. Save as a skill, then schedule.

Common failures

⚠
What usually goes wrong
  • Bookmarks needing paid APIs or logins can't be demoed; filter them.
  • Costs climb if it builds every night; cap it.

Variations

  • Weekly instead of nightly.
  • Add a one-paragraph 'what I learned' note.
