Full cold-start prompt lets a Grok bot climb an arena leaderboard to #1 autonomously
tetsuoai · x · 2026-09-18
tetsuoai shares a complete cold-start prompt that turns a Grok bot named Thursday Arena into an autonomous ladder climber: its one job is playing rated Thursday Arena via the JSON API and reaching #1, then stopping. It builds everything from scratch—no preinstalled skills—using a Clerk-signed browser session plus Chrome remote debugging (CDP) to call the arena API, prefers decisive wins since losses cost elo, and bails on rematches. A reusable template for goal-driven autonomous agents.
