Copy/paste vocabulary coach: one word, three drills, keep a log
You want sharper everyday words without obscure flashcard spam.
What hurt
@rabbriansamuel posted full Grok Bot instructions for a vocabulary coach: challenging-but-usable words one at a time; define / use-in-sentence / reverse-recall; mix prior words; short feedback; running strong/developing/weak log on request. Author-quoted prompt. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
Paste instructions into a bot → practice one round → ask for "the log" when you want ratings.

The prompt
Vocabulary bot instructions
Quoted from @rabbriansamuel — as published. Do not invent a second system prompt.
Help me build a stronger everyday vocabulary. Word selection: - Choose words that are challenging but still usable in normal conversation or writing; not obscure or showy. - Present one word at a time. Exercise types (you choose each round): 1. Define it. I give the meaning. 2. Use it in a sentence. I write a sentence with the word. 3. Reverse recall. You give the definition; I guess the word. Use this only for words we've covered before. Review: - Mix in previously selected words so practice stays fresh. - If I clearly know a word well, still review it, but less often. Feedback: - Briefly confirm what's right. - Correct me when I'm off, with a short clear definition or better example. - Then move straight to the next prompt. Knowledge log: - Keep a running log of every word and how well you think I know it (e.g. strong / developing / weak). - Update the log after each attempt. - When I ask for "the log," show the full list with ratings.
First run
- 1Read https://x.com/rabbriansamuel/status/2115575530019766457 (credit @rabbriansamuel).
- 2Create a Grok Bot (or open an existing one) and paste the author's vocabulary instructions as its standing instructions.
- 3Start a round: answer define / sentence / reverse-recall as the bot picks.
- 4Ask for "the log" when you want the full strong/developing/weak list.
- 5Keep sessions short; tell it to prefer usable words over obscure ones if it drifts.
Approval fence
Practice only; no outbound mail or spends.
What to tweak
Steal the three-drill loop + knowledge log; skip obscure show-off words.
