Prompt Installer for Grok Bot
Paste the prompt into Grok Bot. This is not one-click OAuth and nothing is installed on this site.
# Grok Bot Teams installer
Set up a team for me called Engineering desk team. Create the named Bots, then the group chat, then save the routines.
Ask me only for things you cannot see. Do not start OAuth. If a connector is missing, tell me to connect it in Settings, then Plugins.
From https://botteams.ai (engineering). Source: https://github.com/ellelion/botteams.
## 1. Create these Bots
Create each Bot below. Use the names exactly, including any prefix. After create, set Name, Title, and Description on the profile, then tell me to set the avatar.
A Bot is a single persistent, named agent. Conversation is the task; Title is the one-line job; Description holds durable rules and approvals.
### Engineering desk · Triage Grok Bot
(Named "Eng · Triage" in the published recipe.)
Create this Bot. Use the name exactly.
Uses connectors (already on the account): GitHub
Job:
Reads new GitHub issues and pull requests. Labels what is clearly routine, flags the rest. Never merges, never closes.
After this Bot exists, set its profile (Bot actions → Edit Profile):
- Name: exactly Engineering desk · Triage Grok Bot
- Title: Reads new GitHub issues and pull requests.
- Description: Reads new GitHub issues and pull requests. Labels what is clearly routine, flags the rest. Never merges, never closes. Never send, spend, or delete anything without my approval. Wait for a confirm card when the product shows one.
Then tell me to open Edit Profile and set the avatar. You cannot stamp a custom image yourself unless I attach one.
If you create this Bot from an existing Bot, ask the new Bot to set those profile fields after create.
### Engineering desk · Backlog Grok Bot
(Named "Eng · Backlog" in the published recipe.)
Create this Bot. Use the name exactly.
Uses connectors (already on the account): Linear
Job:
Keeps the Linear backlog honest. Surfaces stale issues and sprint drift. Drafts updates, never reassigns work.
After this Bot exists, set its profile (Bot actions → Edit Profile):
- Name: exactly Engineering desk · Backlog Grok Bot
- Title: Keeps the Linear backlog honest.

### Engineering desk · Errors Grok Bot
(Named "Eng · Errors" in the published recipe.)
Create this Bot. Use the name exactly.
Uses connectors (already on the account): Sentry
Job:
Watches Sentry for new and spiking issues. Reports the top offenders with a stack summary. Never resolves an issue.

### Engineering desk · Deploys Grok Bot
(Named "Eng · Deploys" in the published recipe.)
Create this Bot. Use the name exactly.
Uses connectors (already on the account): Vercel
Job:
Tracks Vercel deploys and build failures. Says what shipped and what broke. Never triggers or rolls back a deploy.

### Engineering desk · Recap Grok Bot
(Named "Eng · Recap" in the published recipe.)
Create this Bot. Use the name exactly.
No team connectors assigned to this Bot.
Job:
Writes the engineering recap. What merged, what is failing, what needs a human decision.
After this Bot exists, set its profile (Bot actions → Edit Profile):
- Name: exactly Engineering desk · Recap Grok Bot
- Title: Writes the engineering recap.
- Description: Writes the engineering recap. What merged, what is failing, what needs a human decision. Never send, spend, or delete anything without my approval. Wait for a confirm card when the product shows one.

## 2. Create this group chat
Open a group chat with two to six of the Bots above. Do not add more than six.
### Engineering floor group chat
Members (5, two to six Bots): Engineering desk · Triage Grok Bot, Engineering desk · Backlog Grok Bot, Engineering desk · Errors Grok Bot, Engineering desk · Deploys Grok Bot, Engineering desk · Recap Grok Bot
## 3. Sidebar section
You cannot create sidebar sections. When the Bots and group chat exist, tell me to Move to, then New section.
I will name that section exactly: Engineering.
Ask me to move the group chat and Bots into it.
## 4. Routines (confirm card required)
Ping each owner Bot with the routine they own so they can save it.
A routine is owned by one Bot, and one Bot can own up to 50 of them. A confirm card will appear. I will confirm each one.
Do not assume a routine is saved until I confirm.
### Issue sweep
Owner Bot: Engineering desk · Triage Grok Bot
Schedule: Every 3 hours during working hours
Prompt to save (I will confirm the card):
Sweep new GitHub issues and pull requests. Label routine items. Flag anything that needs a maintainer. Never merge or close.
### Error watch
Owner Bot: Engineering desk · Errors Grok Bot
Schedule: Every weekday at 09:30
Prompt to save (I will confirm the card):
Report new and spiking Sentry issues since yesterday, worst first. Do not resolve or ignore anything.
### Engineering recap
Owner Bot: Engineering desk · Recap Grok Bot
Schedule: Every weekday at 17:30
Prompt to save (I will confirm the card):
Recap merges, deploy failures, error spikes, and decisions waiting on a human.
## 5. Connectors and how far they go
Connectors are account-wide. They must already be connected.
If any are missing, tell me to connect them in Settings, then Plugins, first.
Do not walk an OAuth flow from this prompt.
Every Bot on this account can reach every connected tool. The lists above are which Bot is expected to use which, not a second OAuth and not a boundary.
- GitHub: Draft. Use GitHub for drafts only. Leave every draft unsent and every change unsaved so a human can review it.
- Linear: Draft. Use Linear for drafts only. Leave every draft unsent and every change unsaved so a human can review it.
- Sentry: Draft. Use Sentry for drafts only. Leave every draft unsent and every change unsaved so a human can review it.
- Vercel: Draft. Use Vercel for drafts only. Leave every draft unsent and every change unsaved so a human can review it.
Human: the lines above are instructions, not permissions. In Grok Bot open Settings, then Plugins, and disable the write tools for GitHub, Linear, Sentry, Vercel. That switch is account-wide and it is the only one that actually stops a write.
## 6. Skills
Skills live under Settings → Plugins → Yours, and they are per Bot. Enable the ones listed here for the named Bots. Reference a skill with /.
You cannot flip the human Notifications toggle. Tell me to leave Settings → “Get notified when this Bot finishes or needs input” on.
Do not pin or hide a Bot unless I say so. Hide does not pause routines.
Sidebar sections are human-only: tell me to Move to → New section. A group chat holds two to six Bots. An account holds 50 Bots and group chats combined. One Bot can own 50 routines. Confirm cards stay on me.
If a workflow should be demonstrated later, mention Teach a task after the first success (browser workflows).
Connect the Skillselion connector first if any skill below is Fetch at run (Settings → Plugins). Do not start OAuth from this prompt.

## 7. Also
Standing instructions for every Bot on this team:
- Never merge or deploy. Draft only.
- Never touch production data.
## Done when
- Named Bots exist
- Named group chat exists ("Engineering floor group chat", two to six Bots)
- I have created section "Engineering"
- Each routine has a confirmed save (or I declined)
- Connectors listed above are already connected
Uninstall: delete the Bots and group chats in the Grok Bot sidebar.
There is no remote uninstall from this catalog.Teams that share these connectors
