Prompt for your agent

Goal: Set up a chief-of-staff bot that designs the rest of my bot team.
Setup: agents used in source: Grok Bot.
Steps:
1. Prompt: “You’re my Chief of Staff bot. Give me a list of all the things a typical chief of staff would be responsible for, then suggest a system prompt you can install for yourself.”
2. Add three lines: who you are and what your business does; what you want to accomplish in Grok Bot; “suggest the first bots you’d hire and what each one owns”.
3. Let it hire and brief the sub-bots; don’t hand-write stuffed prompts. You may need fewer bots than you think.
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.
