Work
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
- 1Read https://x.com/SteamedBun1111/status/2106542096458940794 (credit @SteamedBun1111).
- 2List your always-on jobs by domain/project — not by job title (research vs review).
- 3Give each domain one bot that owns intake → delivery so preferences and rejected paths stay in one context.
- 4Turn repeated functions (research, design, analysis, presentation, prototype) into shared skills reused across bots — not extra headcount.
- 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.
