First mile, last mile: let Grok Bot find the work, then close the loop with Cursor

Most of the effort is deciding what to work on and then actually finishing it — the middle is the easy part.

What hurt

Lauren (@poteto), who builds Grok Bot at SpaceXAI, says her favorite use is the first and last mile of work. First mile: connect your apps so the bot can pull its own context. Last mile: hand code fixes to Cursor cloud agents and close the loop. She shared the five-step loop she runs daily. Not affiliated with xAI.

What to install or create

Connect the places work shows up (Slack, CRM, email, calendar). Give context instead of micromanaging, like her example below. Add a routine on a schedule or on a new channel message. For code, the bot hands the job to a Cursor cloud agent. Once that feels solid, wire her loop: feedback → Linear ticket → reproduce → fix + fuzz → ping, then merge.

Bots

  • Main bot

    Watches the feedback channel, files the Linear ticket, and starts the Cursor cloud agent.

Plugins

  • Linear

    Optional

  • GitHub

    Optional

Routines

  • Feedback watcher. When the feedback Slack channel gets a new message (author's setup). Ticket it, reproduce it, propose a fix, then ping you.

The prompt

First-mile context example (author-quoted)

Quoted from @poteto — as published. Do not invent a second system prompt.

look at this slack channel for new features we've built and then look through our CRM to see which customers we should nudge

Daily feedback-to-fix loop (author-quoted)

Quoted from @poteto — as published. Do not invent a second system prompt.

1. watch this slack channel for feedback about our app
2. create a ticket for this in Linear
3. create a Cursor cloud agent to triage and reproduce the issue on its own computer, using pstack
4. if the issue clearly reproduces, put up a fix and fuzz the pull request with a small swarm of agents
5. if the fuzz has no issues, ping me on Slack, and rebase and auto-merge the PR after 1 hour unless i request changes

First run

  1. 1Read https://x.com/poteto/status/2107510472601985336 (credit @poteto).
  2. 2Connect the apps where your work shows up, and give the bot context instead of step-by-step orders (her example below).
  3. 3Add one routine: on a schedule, or whenever a chosen channel gets a new message.
  4. 4For code, have the bot hand the fix to a Cursor cloud agent instead of coding it itself.
  5. 5When that works, copy her five-step loop below — and keep the final merge manual until you trust it.

Approval fence

Her loop auto-merges after an hour unless she objects. Start with the merge in your own hands, and only add a timed auto-merge once the reproduce-and-fuzz steps have earned your trust.

What to tweak

Give the bot context and a trigger, not a script. Let it pick the work, and let a coding agent finish it.
