Grok Bot Skills
A skill is useful when you need Grok Bot to remember how a job should be done, not just answer one request.
What a skill should contain
The reusable part is not just the instruction. Include examples, edge cases, and what good output looks like.
- Goal
- Inputs
- Steps
- Examples
- Failure handling
- Verification
Use BotTeachBot as the starting library
Copy an existing job, customize the placeholders, then save the improved version as your own routine or skill.
- Start from a job page
- Run once manually
- Correct the output
- Reuse after it passes checks
