+## Trying Out New Behavior Safely
+
+Want to experiment with a different personality, tone, or set of instructions without disturbing the bot your users already talk to? Run a second, separate bot just for testing.
+
+Each bot profile is its own config file with its own Telegram token, and bots are fully independent — separate identity, separate chat history, separate settings. So a "test twin" is quick to set up:
+
+1. Create a new bot with [@BotFather](https://t.me/BotFather) and copy its token.
+2. Copy your existing config to a new file, e.g. `cp config/mybot.json config/mybot-test.json`.
+3. In the new file, paste the new token, give it a different `id`, and edit `system_prompts` to try your changes.
+4. Start it alongside your main bot. Chat with the test bot, tweak its prompt, and restart the test bot to try again — your real users never see the experiments.
+5. Happy with the result? Copy the same change into your main bot's config and restart it.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> A test bot always needs its **own** token. Telegram only lets one running bot listen on a given token, so you can't point a second copy at your live bot — give the twin its own @BotFather bot instead.

 ## Systemd Unit Setup
 
 To enable the bot to start automatically on system boot and run in the background, set up a systemd unit.
