- Quiet-by-default and end-of-day reporting rules

- Multi-bot handoffs: desk report format, handoff packet, decision log and four approval gates (send, spend, trade, deploy)
- Memory hygiene: profile vs journal, what never to store, a monthly cleanup prompt
- A 20-point setup check and 10 test scenarios to run before you trust a bot
- 12 prompts for writing, tightening and auditing bots

## Who it is for

People who run, or want to run, one or more Grok Bots for real business work and want them to keep a schedule, stay inside clear limits and report briefly.

## Tools needed

- Grok Bot: runs the personas, scheduled routines, event routines and memory
- You need: A Grok Bot you can give instructions and routines to
- You need: The apps you want it to read (calendar, inbox, docs, repo, chat), connected read-only or drafts-only where possible

Cost to run: Free. Uses the Grok Bot plan you already have. No paid add-ons required.

## Sample prompt: Draft a persona from a job description (Grok Bot)

```
Here is a job I want a bot to do: [job, inputs, what good output looks like].
Write a bot persona with seven parts: name, title, one line, instructions, guardrails, ask-first rules, reporting. Keep instructions under 400 words with numbered steps and a fixed output format. List anything you had to assume.
```

Guardrails about actions, not attitude, are the ones a bot can follow.

## Sample prompt: Gate audit (Grok Bot)

```
Read these instructions: [paste].
For each action the bot can take in the world (send, post, spend, trade, deploy, delete, change settings), say whether it is FORBIDDEN, GATED (with the card it shows) or OPEN. Flag every OPEN action that cannot be undone.
```

Run it in a separate chat for an outside view.

# Grok Bot Templates: personas, standing orders and handoffs

A PaperChaseWebb pack, version 1.0. Written for Grok Bot: always-on bots with their own instructions, memory, scheduled routines and connected apps. Plain Markdown, so the persona bodies and rules also paste into other agents that take a system prompt, but the wording and the routine patterns are written for Grok Bot.

This pack does not build a bot for you. It is the set of files we use to set one up so it does useful work on a schedule, asks before anything it cannot take back, and reports in a way you will actually read. It comes from running a small team of bots for our own business every day and from two public breakdowns of Grok Bot business setups, both credited by link in `09-sources.md`. Everything here is written in our own words.

## Worth knowing

- The pack is a set of templates and rules. It does not connect apps, run routines or host anything for you.
- Routine, trigger and memory names differ by plan and setup. The patterns are written to fit, but check your own settings.
- Test every bot with a test inbox, channel and copied files before it touches real accounts.

## Questions

**Which agent is it written for?** Grok Bot. The persona bodies are plain Markdown, so they also paste into other agents that take a system prompt, but we wrote the routines and memory rules for Grok Bot.

**Do I need to code?** No. Everything is text you paste into the bot's instructions. The cron table covers the only syntax you need.

**Will the bots send or buy things on their own?** Not with these templates. Every persona drafts, and sending, spending, trading and deploying sit behind an approval card that needs your yes for each action.

**Is there a free sample?** Yes. The standing order card, the cron table and the two reporting rules are free on their own listing.

**Is any of it copied?** No. It comes from our own daily bot setup and two public breakdowns of Grok Bot business setups, rewritten in our words and credited by link inside.
