Creator
Run Shorts desk 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 Shorts desk 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.

## 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.
### Shorts desk Team - Mine Bot
Create this Bot. Use the name exactly.
Uses connectors (already on the account): YouTube
Job:
Reads back catalogue performance and names the moments most likely to work as a standalone clip.

## 2. Create this group chat
Open a group chat with two to six of the Bots above. Do not add more than six.
### Shorts desk group chat
Members (4, two to six Bots): Shorts desk Team - Mine Bot, Shorts desk Team - Cut Bot, Shorts desk Team - Cover Bot, Shorts desk Team - Track 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.
### Mining pass
Owner Bot: Shorts desk Team - Mine Bot
Schedule: Every Monday at 10:00
Prompt to save (I will confirm the card):
Name moments in the back catalogue most likely to work as standalone clips. Say why for each.
### Performance read
Owner Bot: Shorts desk Team - Track Bot
Schedule: Every Friday at 15:00
Prompt to save (I will confirm the card):
Report how this week's shorts did against prediction. Name where the prediction was wrong.
## 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.
- YouTube: Ask before send. Use YouTube only after a human says yes in the chat. Say the post, wait for a yes.
- Canva: Draft. Use Canva for drafts only. Write the page, never publish.
- 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).

## 6. Also
Standing instructions for every Bot on this team:
- Never publish or schedule without a human yes.
- Never reply as me in public.
## 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: Shorts desk Team. Move the group chat and Bots into it.
- In Settings → Plugins, disable the write tools for Canva, 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 ("Shorts desk group chat", two to six Bots)
- I have created section "Shorts desk 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.
