First part:
I want a live status dashboard for all my Grok Bots. Here is exactly what it does, so you can check it before doing anything: every bot posts one short line about its state (working, done, needs me, error) to a private ntfy channel that only I know the address of, and my dashboard page reads that channel. Nothing else leaves my account: no messages, no files, no personal data, only short task labels.
STEP 0: PLAN FIRST
Before changing anything, show me in one short list which bots you found, which team you would put each in, and what you will add to their instructions. Wait for my "go". After my go, do steps 1 to 8 without asking again, unless something fails.
STEP 1: MY PRIVATE CHANNEL
Run: python3 -c "import secrets;print('hq-'+secrets.token_urlsafe(18))"
Call the output TOPIC. FEED is https://t.co/4RQs6VGAG3. LINK is my dashboard address followed by #TOPIC. Treat TOPIC like a password: never post it anywhere except in my instructions to my own bots.
STEP 2: THE STATUS RULE (in every bot's own instructions)
For every bot (UpdateAgent for the others, UpdateProfile for yourself), add the block below at the very top of its description and keep everything else exactly as it was. If a block between the same two marker lines already exists, replace it instead of adding a second one. Write the bot's real name and the real FEED in, no placeholders.
### HQ STATUS START
At the start of every turn, run: curl -s -m 5 -d '{"bot":"<exact name>","status":"working","step":"<task label>"}' FEED
Right before your final reply, run the same with status done, idle, waiting_user or error. If you need me, put the question in step.
Task label: max 60 characters, a generic description like "drafting a post" or "checking 12 sources". Never include names of people, emails, links, numbers from private data, file contents or secrets.
If the curl fails, ignore it and continue your work. Never retry more than once, never post the same line twice in a row.
If your name has a quote or apostrophe, send the JSON with: curl -s -m 5 --data-binary @- FEED and a here-document.
### HQ STATUS END
STEP 3: ROSTER, TEAMS AND CHAT LINKS
Post the exact names of all my bots, including yourself: curl -s -d '{"roster":["Bot A","Bot B"]}' FEED
Sort them into 3 to 6 teams by role with short English names (each team is one floor). Put yourself and any helper or test bots into Ops:
curl -s -d '{"groups":{"Bot A":"Content","Bot B":"Research"}}' FEED
For every bot whose id you know, post its chat link (grokbot://app/v1/agent?id=<id>), skip the rest:
curl -s -d '{"chat":{"Bot A":"<link>"}}' FEED
STEP 4: LOOKS
If I attached a screenshot of my bots list, match each bot to its avatar. Otherwise invent a look from its name and role. Remember the looks and post the same ones every day.
shape: sphere, cloud, rounded_square, star4, star6, clover, bubble, flower, drop, pill, triangle, pentagon, hexagon, cone, trio
accessory: none, glasses, antenna, stem, bow
color: 000000, A06B39, E5484D, FD690F, F59312, 14C16F, 13B7A2, 1E86FC, 8F59F9, F93498, 959595
curl -s -d '{"looks":{"Bot A":{"shape":"sphere","color":"#1E86FC","accessory":"none"}}}' FEED
If one line would pass 3500 characters, split it into several lines in the same format.
