Set it up
Pick a contained repo or task
Start on a branch or side project where mistakes are cheap.
Install and configure
Set up Claude Code, Grok Bot. Read what it can run on your machine and limit permissions where possible.
Run it on a real task
Give it a well-scoped issue and let it work. Review the diff like any pull request.

Copy the full setup prompt
Paste into your agent and it will walk you through the setup, asking before anything that sends, posts or spends.

Related use cases
Let a bot file 5 bug reports a day and have Claude spec the fixes
His Grok Bot goes through the company site and app and submits five bug reports or feature requests every day through a tool that opens GitHub issues; each issue auto-tags Claude, which writes a full spec for Claude Code to build.
Make a Grok Bot the front door to Claude Code on all your machines
A builder made a Grok Bot whose only job is to take tasks from his other bots and hand them to his Claude Code agent. It finds the matching live session in the herdr terminal manager on any of his three machines and types the task into the real Claude Code pane, where he can watch it work.
Use a Grok Bot to orchestrate your Claude and Codex coding threads
A developer uses a Grok Bot as the orchestrator of his Claude and Codex agents in T3 Code. He set up webhooks so the Grok Bot is notified when a thread finishes, then open-sourced it as a template for T3 or plain Claude and Codex CLI threads.
