Research
Example six-Bot research desk. Not an SEO or ranking crew. Nothing publishes.
No plugin install is claimed.
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 Research 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.

## 2. Create this group chat
Open a group chat with two to six of the Bots above. Do not add more than six.
### Research desk group chat
Members (6, two to six Bots): Research desk Team - Brief Bot, Research desk Team - Sources Bot, Research desk Team - Notes Bot, Research desk Team - Synthesis Bot, Research desk Team - Calendar Bot, Research desk Team - Recap 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.
### Morning brief
Owner Bot: Research desk Team - Brief Bot
Schedule: Every weekday at 08:45
Prompt to save (I will confirm the card):
Restate the live research question and today review slot. No SEO. No site ops.
### Source pass

Schedule: Every weekday at 12:00
Prompt to save (I will confirm the card):
Add dated source notes for the brief. Drafts only.
### Research recap
Owner Bot: Research desk Team - Recap Bot
Schedule: Every weekday at 16:45
Prompt to save (I will confirm the card):
Recap notes, synthesis drafts, and open questions. Never publish.
## 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.
- Gmail: Draft. Use Gmail for drafts only. Draft the message, do not send.
- Calendar: Draft. Use Google Calendar for drafts only. Draft the event, do not send invites.
- Notion: Draft. Use Notion for drafts only. Write the page, never publish.
- Exa: Draft. Use Exa read-only.
- Glean: Draft. Use Glean read-only.
- Firecrawl: Draft. Use Firecrawl read-only.
## 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 cite a source you did not read.
- Read and summarise. Never write to anything.
## 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: Research desk Team. Move the group chat and Bots into it.
- In Settings → Plugins, disable the write tools for Gmail, Calendar, Notion, Exa, Glean, Firecrawl. 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 ("Research desk group chat", two to six Bots)
- I have created section "Research 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.
