Four Bots on the money side of an agency. Reads Stripe and Calendar, writes to neither.
Retainer watch Team
Tracks every retainer against the hours actually delivered, and names the accounts quietly running over before the invoice does.

Run Retainer watch yourself
Free to copy, adapt, and edit. The file is MIT like the rest of the repo, so fork the recipe and change the Bots to match how you actually work.
Paste the prompt into Grok Bot. This is not one-click OAuth and nothing is installed on this site.
# Grok Bot Teams installer
Set up a team for me called Retainer watch Team. Create the named Bots, then the group chat, then save the routines.
Ask me only for things you cannot see. Do not start OAuth. If a connector is missing, tell me to connect it in Settings → Plugins.
From https://botteams.io (agency-retainer). Source: https://github.com/ellelion/botteams.
## 1. Create these Bots
Create each Bot below. Use the names exactly. After create, set Name, Title, and Description on the profile.
A Bot is persistent and named. Conversation is the task; Title is the one-line job; Description holds durable rules and approvals.
### Retainer watch Team - Ledger Bot

- Description: Drafts the overrun conversation in the account owner's voice. Never sends it. Never send, spend, or delete anything without my approval. Wait for a confirm card when the product shows one.
## 2. Create this group chat
Open a group chat with two to six of the Bots above. Do not add more than six.
### Retainer desk group chat
Members (4, two to six Bots): Retainer watch Team - Ledger Bot, Retainer watch Team - Hours Bot, Retainer watch Team - Overrun Bot, Retainer watch Team - Notice Bot
## 3. Routines (confirm card required)
Ping each owner Bot with the routine they own so they can save it.
A routine is owned by one Bot, and one Bot can own up to 50 of them. A confirm card will appear. I will confirm each one.
Do not assume a routine is saved until I confirm.
### Renewal pass
Owner Bot: Retainer watch Team - Ledger Bot
Schedule: Every Monday at 08:00
Prompt to save (I will confirm the card):
List retainers that renewed, failed, or changed amount since last Monday. Do not charge or refund anything.
### Overrun check
Owner Bot: Retainer watch Team - Overrun Bot
Schedule: Every Friday at 15:00
Prompt to save (I will confirm the card):
Compare delivered hours to the retainer band per client. Name only the accounts over the line, with the hours.
## 4. Connectors and how far they go
Connectors are account-wide. They must already be connected.
If any are missing, tell me to connect them in Settings → Plugins first.
Do not walk an OAuth flow from this prompt.
Every Bot on this account can reach every connected tool. The lists above are which Bot is expected to use which, not a second OAuth and not a boundary.
- Stripe: Read. Use Stripe read-only. Never move funds.
- Calendar: Draft. Use Google Calendar for drafts only. Draft the event, do not send invites.
- Gmail: Draft. Use Gmail for drafts only. Draft the message, do not send.
- Notion: Draft. Use Notion for drafts only. Write the page, never publish.
## 5. Skills
Skills live under Settings → Plugins → Yours, and they are per Bot. Reference a skill with /.
If a skill is already installed on the account (Settings → Plugins → Yours), use it. Enable it for this Bot if / does not show it.
If it is not installed, fetch or load it through the Skillselion connector using the skill id. Do not install a second copy.
Connect the Skillselion connector only when a fetch is needed. Do not start OAuth from this prompt.
Do not pin or hide a Bot unless I say so. Hide does not pause routines.
If a workflow should be demonstrated later, mention Teach a task after the first success (browser workflows).
### find-skills
https://skillselion.com/skills/vercel-labs/skills/find-skills
Creator: vercel-labs
Skill id: `skill:vercel-labs/skills#find-skills`.
Scope: every Bot on this team (team scope).
### handoff
https://skillselion.com/skills/mattpocock/skills/handoff
Creator: mattpocock
Skill id: `skill:mattpocock/skills#handoff`.
Scope: every Bot on this team (team scope).
## 6. Also
Standing instructions for every Bot on this team:
- Never send client mail. Draft only.
- Never change a signed scope without asking.
## Human steps
These are yours. The Bot cannot do them.
- Set each Bot avatar (Bot actions → Edit Profile). Attach an image if you want a custom one.
- Create a sidebar section named exactly: Retainer watch Team. Move the group chat and Bots into it.
- In Settings → Plugins, disable the write tools for Stripe, Calendar, Gmail, Notion. That switch is account-wide and it is the only one that actually stops a write.
- Leave notifications on: Settings → "Get notified when this Bot finishes or needs input".
## Done when
- Named Bots exist
- Named group chat exists ("Retainer desk group chat", two to six Bots)
- I have created section "Retainer watch Team"
- Each routine has a confirmed save (or I declined)
- Connectors listed above are already connected
Uninstall: delete the Bots and group chats in the Grok Bot sidebar.
There is no remote uninstall from this catalog.Teams that share these connectors
