Prompt for your agent

Goal: Build an Alexa skill that talks to my agent.
Setup: agents used in source: Grok Bot; tools/MCPs stated: Alexa.
Steps:
1. Clone the alexa-grok-bot-skill repo; add your skill ID and webhook; deploy.
2. When stuck in a console, ask the agent which box to click.
3. Design around Alexa’s response-time limits.
Rules: ask me before anything irreversible (sending, posting, paying, deleting); don’t invent data, results or tools I haven’t given you; tell me what you couldn’t verify.
