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.

What they did
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.
Result (as claimed)
Overnight it opened 4 pull requests on his how-to site and raised a bot's hard eval to 94.9%; merges and force pushes still need his approval.
Tools they used
Cost: Grok Bot: from $30/mo; Claude Code: from $17/mo.
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 Grok Bot, Claude Code, tmux. 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.
Add guardrails
Keep tests and CI in the loop, and never let an agent push to main or touch production secrets unattended.
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.

He starts Claude Code inside tmux and has Grok Bot's voice mode send it prompts through tmux, so he can talk to his coding agent and still watch the session.
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.
Manage Claude Code, Codex and Grok agents from one workspace

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.
