Chief of staff: priorities doc + inbox/calendar/Slack match only
A chief of staff bot that dumps everything is just another inbox.
What hurt
@TheFoundMotive tip: make a chief of staff Grok Bot on a priorities doc plus inbox, calendar, and Slack. Return only what matches priorities — source, why it matters, next step, any decision you owe. No sending, no meeting changes. Tune, then schedule. Tip only. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
Priorities doc → connect inbox/calendar/Slack → match-only brief → then routine.

The prompt
This is a tip, not a pasteable system prompt. The author did not publish one. Follow the first-run steps.
First run
- 1Read https://x.com/TheFoundMotive/status/2117059368923345211 (credit @TheFoundMotive).
- 2Write a short priorities doc the bot can read.
- 3Connect inbox, calendar, and Slack (or the channels you actually use).
- 4Ask for a match-only brief: source, why it matters, next step, decision owed — no send, no meeting edits.
- 5Tune the filter for a few days; only then schedule the routine.
Approval fence
No sending and no meeting changes — bot briefs only until you approve otherwise.
What to tweak
Steal match-only brief shape; tune before you schedule.
