What this Grok bot does
Audits what your bots do on repeat, splits each routine into steps, and turns the ones that need no judgment into plain python3 scripts that only wake a bot on a change (or after 3 failed checks in a row). Can audit your whole team of bots, one bot at a time, with a safe-conversion checklist (dry run, fallback, rollback) and a before/after savings report with estimates labeled. Quiet script checks involve no model calls; setup, audits, reading changes and wake-ups still cost bot turns.
