On October 10, Lauren Tan (@poteto), who leads Grok Bot, posted that she has so many Cursor Projects running in parallel (16 at the time) that her most-used prompt has become:
> /bro catch me up on everything since my last message, and if there are any action items for me give me enough context (exec summary) to make a call

/bro looks like a saved skill or command in her own setup. You don't need it. The useful part is the shape of the request.
Why it works
It asks for three things in one go: what changed since you last spoke, only the items that need you, and enough context to decide without opening everything. That's the same advice the Grok Bot docs give for consequential work: separate what's done from what's waiting for your approval and what's still open.
How it works
1. Many agents or Bots are working. 2. You send one catch-me-up prompt. 3. You get a summary of everything since your last message. 4. Nothing needs you? Keep going. 5. Something needs you? You get a short exec summary per item, and you make the call.
Use it with Grok Bot, step by step
| Step | What to do | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Send the prompt to the Bot that coordinates the work | It knows what it handed to other Bots and Projects |
| 2 | Add "List done, waiting for my approval, and still open, separately" | Matches the docs' advice on reviewable results |
| 3 | Save it as a skill: "Save this as a skill called Catch me up" | Then reference it with / in the desktop composer |
| 4 | Optional: make it a routine, like "every weekday at 5 PM" | Each run spends usage, so keep the schedule sparse |
| 5 | Answer the action items in the same chat | A direct message from you takes priority over background work |
A Bot can start a Project when you ask for one (changelog, Sep 18): a Cloud Agent that plans the work and runs its own agents. If you tell that Bot to stop, it also stops the other Bots it handed work to and the Cloud Agents it started (changelog, Sep 17).
Common questions
Is `/bro` a built-in Grok Bot command? We found no official docs for it. Treat it as Lauren's own shortcut and write your own skill.
Will this cost a lot? A single summary is one request. A routine runs it every time, and the Routines help page says frequent schedules spend usage fast.
Does the Bot see what my other Bots did? It sees handoffs it was part of. Files your Bots save in /workspace are readable by your other Bots.
