Prompt structure

A useful Grok Bot prompt should tell the bot what job it owns and how success will be judged.

  • Role and recurring goal
  • Sources and tools to use
  • Decision rules and exclusions
  • Output format and approval rules

Prompt examples

Start from a complete job page instead of writing from scratch. The best prompts are specific enough to run repeatedly.

  • Reddit Researcher
  • Lead Researcher
  • X Content Bot
  • Competitor Monitor

Prompt checks

Before reusing a prompt, make sure the bot can prove its work with evidence and does not take irreversible action without approval.

  • Source links required
  • Unknowns marked unknown
  • Approval before publishing or CRM writes
  • Clear retry path when blocked
