f*cking hell. there are 10,000+ ready-made Grok Bot templates on GitHub, filed by job title, and every one of them is free.
on top of that: whole bot teams with a chief of staff, trading desks that block a bad entry before it goes out, skills that check your weekly limit before a bot burns it, and self-hosted versions you run on your own machine. most of these repos have fewer than 500 stars
20 GitHub repos to open before you build your next bot:
01 TemplatesGrokBot → 10,464 templates sorted by job. paste one as the first message and the bot sets itself up: who it is, what it does, what it must never do, and what to ask you on its first run
02 → a community directory of agent prompts for email triage, daily briefings, SEO fixes and churn warnings. paste one and it sets itself up as a scheduled bot
03 awesome-grok-bot by ZeroPointRepo → 63 skills, plugins, MCP servers and self-hosted alternatives, each checked against a primary source, plus how Grok Bot actually gets extended
04 awesome-grok-bot by RongleCat → a bilingual list of Grok Bot resources, with community meetups across the US, Germany, Canada and China
05 awesome-grokbot-playbooks → 96 entries checked through the GitHub API and 10 copy-paste recipes in one format: scenario, input, steps, prompt, output, pitfalls. written in Chinese
06 grokbot-field-notes → notes from the xAI Grok Bot team’s 72-hour live build: house rules, 69 bot roles, 9 role playbooks and 40 things that broke on air. drop AGENTS.md into your repo
07 grok-bot-delegation → a Claude Code skill for briefing Grok Bot: one role per bot, a chief of staff, a five-part task brief, approval boundaries and quota discipline
08 grokbot-gtm-team → 13 Grok Bot agents with one job each, department heads that route and gate the work, and one setup prompt that builds the whole team from a single chat. nothing is sent or spent during setup
09 bot-team-playbook → 8 ready-made teams, each a supervisor plus 3 to 4 specialists, and 35 copy-ready prompts. the supervisor checks every deliverable before it reaches you
10 aaron-marketing-skills → 120 marketing skills across 7 disciplines, installable as an 8-bot marketing staff on Grok Bot
11 grok-bot-skills → 10 trading skills, one job each, run top to bottom before every trade. liquid hours only, no red news within 15 minutes, 1% risk, nothing under 2x reward. any BLOCKED stops the trade
12 simianx-skills → plugs your agent into an 8-agent research committee on any US stock or coin pair: four analysts, a bull and a bear, a research manager and a risk manager. you get entry, stop, target and a PDF
13 PumpGrok → an 8-role Solana memecoin desk with 35 skills. the risk role can veto any ticket, you approve by ticket ID, and it only runs research and paper mode
14 web-access → gives Grok Bot or Claude Code full web access: browser control over CDP, parallel tasks, and a memory of what worked on each site
15 grokbot-imessage-skill → read, search, triage and send iMessages from Grok Bot through a local Mac helper. every send is previewed and waits for your approval
16 grokbot-usage-cli → shows your weekly Grok Bot pool and Cursor plan usage, so a bot checks what it has left before it burns it
17 grok-bot-jev → TypeSafe Jev as a cheap decision layer in front of Grok Bot. it reuses a fresh result, stops a failing retry, caps research, or asks you first
18 opengrok → pick a model per Grok Bot agent and swap it mid-chat, with live latency, token flow and cache hit rate for each bot. keys stay on your machine
19 Rakazo → an open-source, self-hosted take on persistent bots: their own memory, routines and history, shared team computers, bots that delegate to each other. bring your own model
20 OpenMausBot → every bot in the sidebar is Claude or Codex underneath, with its own personality, model, cloud computer and connected apps. you talk to them like contacts
start with a job you already do every week. paste one template, connect only the tools it asks for, and read its first run before you put it on a routine
the templates are free. the runs come out of your weekly pool, so check usage before you schedule anything
give every bot one job and one boss. the teams above hold up because a supervisor checks the work before it ever reaches you
the bot you were going to write tonight already exists as a markdown file. 10,464 of them, last count
