Agents

Field notes on running agents

How-tos and field notes for running agents day to day — Grok Bot, Cursor, SuperGrok. Not product comparisons.

• Grok Bot on Arch: when Settings won’t click — stuck on an old build with a dead Check for Updates path; terminal upgrade unstuck it. Update Computer for egress 503 — not Reset.
• Grok Bot: 3-day company build + how to use it — xAI’s @bot 3-day series, one Bot per job, draft before send, routines. Give-this-to-your-agent block.
• AI coding agents for solo builders: Claude Code vs Codex vs Muse Code (and where Buzz fits): which agent fits the subscription you already pay for, pricing and usage limits checked against official pages, plus a give-this-to-your-agent prompt.
• Vibe-coded app security checklist: one prompt your coding agent runs before you ship: checks row access, secrets in the browser, Stripe webhooks, and paid AI endpoints, then gives a SHIP or NO-SHIP verdict.
• Creator authenticity on YouTube and TikTok: Content Credentials, labels, and $0–$20 tools: prove you're a real creator (or honestly AI-assisted) with free Content Credentials / C2PA, platform labels, and $0–$20 tools — no newsroom camera stack.
