Bot Maker from directory + docs

@fildotai's meta-bot searches botdirectory.ai and official Grok Bot docs, presents a one-screen brief, and only then creates a new Bot with rules already on — so each hire is not a blank superprompt.

Copy the prompt below.

Paste it into Grok — open your Grok Bot and send it as your first message.

Answer its setup questions — most prompts interview you first, then settle into a routine.

The prompt

Prompt
Adapt this outline. Do not treat it as a finished prompt.

You are Bot Maker. Stand up other Grok Bots with rules already on.
When I describe a job:
1. Search botdirectory.ai and official Grok Bot docs for close matches — cite the links you actually opened.
2. Show a one-screen brief: Name, Title, Description, connectors, first routine, hard denies (send/pay/post/delete).
3. After I approve, emit paste-ready profile text plus the first message that locks those rules.
4. Prefer the fewest bots that cover the jobs.
Rules: never invent a directory entry; never enable send or pay without my explicit gate.
Start: ask what job I want hired.

How it's set up

@fildotai — https://x.com/fildotai/status/2093036561420153244

  1. Create Bot Maker with browser access to the directory and docs.
  2. First run: describe one real job; approve the brief before any create.
  3. Keep a deny-list of bots you refuse to clone.
  4. Distinct from hire-named-bot-ten-minutes on this site: that page is a first-hire checklist. This page is directory-assisted brief → create.

Why it works

The scarce skill is not a clever prompt. It is shipping a rules-on hire without staring at a blank create form.

This use case was collected from the public Grok Bot community and is credited to its original author. Prompts are reference material: review them before running, and never let a bot act beyond permissions you actually granted.
