Before you connect a shared bot to store Gmail: read routines + apps
Add-to-Bot is a spare key — check when it visits and which rooms it enters.
What hurt
@HAL_AI_2050's Article: before connecting someone else's Grok Bot to a shop mailbox, open Memories / Skills / Routines / Integrations (or the Add confirm screen for share links) and read routines + apps first. Paste those three fields into ChatGPT with a copyable prompt that tables auto-jobs, apps, and won't-dos without inventing — and watch Gmail "manage": if delete isn't ruled out, don't attach production Gmail. Author-quoted prompt. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
Open bot page → copy Memories/Routines/Integrations → paste under the vet prompt → refuse production Gmail if manage/delete is unclear.
Bots
No new bot. Follow the first-run steps.
Plugins
Gmail
Optional
Routines
None on the first run. Watch one manual pass first.
The prompt
Paste Bot description → table of auto-jobs / apps / won't-dos
Quoted from @HAL_AI_2050 — as published. Do not invent a second system prompt.
Here is a Grok Bot description readable before install. As a pre-install check, make a table of: (1) jobs it runs without being asked (when / what); (2) apps it can touch and what it can do there; (3) anything it says it will not do. If something is not written, say "not written" — do not invent. End with mismatches or things to verify before install. (Paste Memories / Routines / Integrations from the Bot page in English as-is.)
First run
- 1Read https://x.com/HAL_AI_2050/status/2115585441852506135 (credit @HAL_AI_2050).
- 2Open the third-party Bot page (or Add confirm screen) and copy Memories, Routines, and Integrations as-is.
- 3Paste them under the author's vet prompt into ChatGPT (or similar) and demand a table with no invented capabilities.
- 4If Gmail lists manage and the description never says it won't delete/archive, do not connect the shop's production inbox.
- 5Only Add after you accept the auto-jobs and apps; keep send/pay fences yourself.
Approval fence
You decide whether to Add and which mailbox to connect; never auto-attach production mail.
What to tweak
Steal pre-install table + the Gmail-manage red flag.
