An engineering outer loop that sits above your coding agents
What this Grok bot does
Generalized engineering outer loop. Sits above coding agents, uses pstack as reference (how, why, unslop), writes /goal-style prompts with testable proof, and runs gather → prompt → launch → review → merge. You name the repo; it never guesses.

Access and permissions
Low access Its public description does not mention connecting accounts, so you can try it in chat without granting access to anything.

Derived from the public description. The live configuration on x.ai is the source of truth — review it before adding.
Before you add loops
- Give review bots read-only repo access; let humans merge.
- Open the x.ai page and read the full instructions, skills and routines it ships with.
Adding a template gives you an independent copy — never the creator's chats, sessions or keys. How adding a Grok Bot template works.
