Tip only: split always-on bots by domain; turn functions into shared skills

Role-chart fleets (CoS / Strategist / Researcher / Reviewer…) solve org charts — not context integrity or maintenance cost.

What hurt

Simon Lin (@SteamedBun1111) argued that official-style role-based Grok Bot teams (7–8 bots) fit division of labor, not always-on clusters. Role handoffs compress context; every global rule must be synced bot-by-bot. Tip-only checklist — no invented prompt. Not affiliated with xAI.

What to install or create

Split bots by domain/project end-to-end. Encode research/design/analysis/etc. as shared skills. Coordinate via shared state (roster + workspace), not lossy chat handoffs.

Bots

  • Domain owner

    Owns one line of work from intake to delivery in a single context; edits only its roster row.

Plugins

  • None on day one. Follow the first-run steps.

Files

  • Shared roster (scope per bot) + persistent workspace the next bot can read directly.

Routines

  • None on the first run. Watch one manual pass first.

The prompt

This is a tip, not a pasteable system prompt. The author did not publish one. Follow the first-run steps.

First run

  1. 1Read https://x.com/SteamedBun1111/status/2106542096458940794 (credit @SteamedBun1111).
  2. 2List your always-on jobs by domain/project — not by job title (research vs review).
  3. 3Give each domain one bot that owns intake → delivery so preferences and rejected paths stay in one context.
  4. 4Turn repeated functions (research, design, analysis, presentation, prototype) into shared skills reused across bots — not extra headcount.
  5. 5Put scope in a shared roster (each bot edits only its row) plus a workspace the next bot can read; avoid compressing tradeoffs into chat handoffs.

Approval fence

No auto-send. You still approve publish/spend; this tip only changes how you split seats.

What to tweak

Steal the three-line rule: domain bots, shared skills, shared state — especially when the cluster stays on every day.
