Action Button chief: red items only, drafts need your yes
You mapped the Action Button to Grok Bot but still ask about the weather.
What hurt
Marko (@Marko_Poly) wired the iPhone Action Button to a chief-of-staff bot. One press asks "what needs me today?" (inbox + calendar + bots, red only), "draft a reply… don't send", or "anything stuck?". Setup: iPhone 15 Pro+, Grok Bot 1.16, Settings → Action Button → Shortcut → Grok Bot → Start Voice Chat, then paste his chief rules once. Nothing sends, pays, or posts without approval.

The prompt
Action Button chief-of-staff rules (author-quoted)
Quoted from @Marko_Poly — as published. Do not invent a second system prompt.
You're my chief of staff and the only bot I talk to. When I press the Action Button, answer in under 20 seconds from my inbox, calendar and the other bots, red items first. Anything that sends, pays or posts becomes a draft I approve. If nothing needs me, say 'all clear' and stop. Show me the rules first and change nothing until I confirm.

- 2On iPhone 15 Pro or later, update Grok Bot to 1.16+.

- 4Paste the author-quoted chief prompt once; confirm the rules before it changes anything.
- 5Press and try: what needs me today? / draft a reply, don't send / anything stuck?
Approval fence
Anything that sends, pays, or posts stays a draft until you say yes.
What to tweak
Steal the fence: under 20s, red first, drafts only, 'all clear' if nothing.
