Grok Bot Skills

Made by Dani Acosta. Follow on X: @DaniAcostaAI

24 skills for writing, design, code, SEO, ads, YouTube research, images, and bot routines. Give your Grok Bot a clear process for the job you need done.

The catalog has 21 local skills and 3 upstream skills. Each uses a readable SKILL.md file. Pick one, read it, and adapt it to your bot.

Install

Install the local skills with the Skills CLI:

npx skills add coolxeo/grok-bot-skills

To install one skill, add --skill and its folder name, for example npx skills add coolxeo/grok-bot-skills --skill no-ai-slop. Run npx skills add coolxeo/grok-bot-skills --list to see them all.

Paid kits

The free skills here stay free. These paid kits are bigger, tested versions with code, templates and worked examples.

• AEO Kit: Markdown Twins + YouTube Watch Pages: the AEO audit skill plus a markdown twin router for Cloudflare Workers/Pages and a YouTube watch page builder.
• Shorts Builder Kit: your agent cuts a 16:9 video into a 9:16 Short with eased pan and zoom, loudness and a jitter check.
• AEO/GEO Site Audit & Build Kit: an upgraded aeo-geo-site with a checker script, a 100-point rubric and templates.
• X Article Writer: notes to a publish-ready X Article package.

Get a skill

For the 21 local skills, download the ZIP, or clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/coolxeo/grok-bot-skills.git

1. Open a skill from the list below. Read its instructions and tool needs.
2. Copy that skill's folder into the workflows or skills directory your bot uses. Keep its folder name and SKILL.md file together. Preserve source credits and applicable license notices.
3. Invoke the folder name with / or @ if your bot supports it. For example, use /no-ai-slop.

The install path and invocation syntax depend on your bot. To try a writing skill without installing it, paste its instructions into a chat, then add your task.

Install upstream skills

The two Taste skills and make-bot-ui now come from their original authors. Their catalog links lead to install instructions. They are not included in the ZIP as skill files.

You can install them directly with the Skills CLI:

npx skills add Leonxlnx/taste-skill --skill design-taste-frontend redesign-existing-projects
npx skills add https://github.com/cursor/plugins/tree/main/pstack/skills/make-bot-ui --skill "Make Bot UI"

Or clone this repo and use the versions checked in our source audit:

# Preview all three commands without installing anything.
node scripts/install-upstream.mjs all --dry-run

# Install one skill. The CLI selects the destination.
node scripts/install-upstream.mjs design-taste-frontend

# Install all three into the current project for Codex.
node scripts/install-upstream.mjs all -- --agent codex --yes

The script needs Node.js 22 or newer, npm, Git, and network access. It runs Skills CLI 1.6.0 with the source commits in upstream-skills.json. It installs into the directory where you run it. Add -- --global only if you want a user-wide install. To install into another project, run the script by its absolute path from that project.

These commands download local files from upstream. They do not create a live remote dependency. The direct commands follow the upstream branch; the script uses fixed commits. Update the manifest to adopt a newer audited version. A link in SKILL.md alone does not install another skill.

The CLI supports agents such as Codex and Claude Code. Grok Bot installation through this CLI has not been verified. For Grok Bot, use its supported import process and include the skill's companion files. Tool access still depends on the bot environment.

Keep the local writing adaptations if you want the workflows in this catalog. The full upstream writing pack also needs its setup, context, and template files.

Try it

After you load no-ai-slop:

Edit this paragraph. Keep the meaning and my voice. Remove filler.

Our innovative platform leverages cutting-edge technology to seamlessly
empower teams to unlock their full potential.

After you load redesign-existing-projects:

Review this landing page. Find the three biggest design problems.
Explain each fix before changing the code. Keep the current features.

After you load routine-healthcheck:

Audit my scheduled routines. Find empty runs, duplicate work, and noisy
updates. Show the evidence. Propose changes before applying them.

Tool requirements

The instructions are plain Markdown. Some workflows need more than a chat window:

• Bot and engineering skills refer to Grok Bot tools, routines, cloud agents, or local agent data. Check that your environment has those tools before running them.
• Some coding workflows refer to pstack skills. Install that pack separately when a workflow needs it.
• diagram-design needs the upstream diagram pack, including its reference files.
• youtube-niche-report runs Python scripts with yt-dlp, ffmpeg and Pillow on a machine that can reach YouTube.
• The image playbook needs browser control and a signed-in ChatGPT session with image generation available.
• Search, publishing, and design tasks need the relevant browser, connector, or project access.

Other agents may need changes to tool names, paths, or invocation syntax. Cross-agent compatibility has not been verified.

Inspired by

This collection links to upstream skills and includes adaptations and workflows shaped by these creators. Credit belongs to the original authors.

• Lauren Tan (@poteto): pstack, including make-bot-ui and poteto-mode; and dr eggbot, which matches the bot design and healthcheck workflows.
• Lingxi Li: Lingxi's Engineer Bot, which matches the engineering playbook.
• Lenny Rachitsky: Overheard, which matches the mention digest and setup workflows.
• Leon Lin / Leonxlnx: Taste Skill. Both frontend design skills now install from this source. The former bundled copies matched it exactly.
• Nadiem Mahmoud: the coach, outline, draft, source-check, and top-edit adaptations. His sources include Every's Eleanor Warnock and Kate Lee.
• Peter Yang: no-ai-slop.
• Jules Sauvajol: social-copywriting and its format, hook, and voice references.
• HumanLayer: show-me. Dexter Horthy's launch article also credits Dillon Mulroy and Matt Pocock as influences.
• Cathryn Lavery: diagram-design and its required reference pack.
• Microsoft Advertising: the AEO/GEO guide by Jennifer Myers, with Paul Longo as executive sponsor; plus Alex Groberman's summary, used as SEO reference material.
• Hridoy Reh: the recorded inspiration for exact-match-intent-seo. The original X post could not be reverified during this audit.

See the source audit for all 22 skills for exact files, evidence, and unresolved origins. No standalone upstream was verified for x-article or chatgpt-images-browser-playbook.
