How Botski fits as a third-party workshop
Draft handbook page. Official docs win on product meaning.
Botski is an independent project by Rich Silver: a friendly builder and handbook home for useful Grok bots. It is not endorsed by X, xAI, or Grok. The website and any future Grok template stay separate; connecting an account must never auto-publish a creation.
This page states shop truth so the rest of the Learn pack does not drift.

What Botski is
- A third-party workshop + handbook about building with care around Grok Bot / AI agents.
- Editorial Learn drafts. This first pack wires three handbook pages at /learn. More guides are coming; they are not invented here.
- Not the product host. Official Grok Bot docs, apps, and billing live with Cursor / xAI surfaces.
What Botski is not
- Not official xAI documentation.
- Not endorsed by X, xAI, or Grok.
- Not a live marketplace of customer bots (Hall empty).
- Not a live AI generation workshop (workshop AI off — prepared answers only; no AI calls from the helper).
- Not an installer door until a verified official template URL is pasted into Get Botski.
Live shop truth (hard stops)
Learn — previously empty
As of 2026-09-18 CT, https://bot.ski/learn had no published guides: “Editorial articles will live here after review. No sample guide is presented as published content.” / “No published guides yet.” This draft pack now lists three handbook pages. It does not claim the live shop already hosted official xAI guides.
Workshop AI — off
Home: live workshop is off; accounts/allowances/spending controls must be verified before generation; prepared setup notes on Get Botski; no AI request is sent from the helper.
Hall / Clerk — empty
https://bot.ski/bots stays empty. Catalog storage and moderation are not configured. No sample identities, no invented listings, no fake counts. If an example is needed: link the empty Hall or flag needs Clerk.
Porter / Get Botski — door shut
https://bot.ski/get-botski: official Botski template destination has not been verified; the page does not open Grok or any other installer.
Hard stops for every draft and future CTA:
- No invented
https://x.ai/bot/…installer URL for Botski - No invented
grokbot://deep-link - Say: installer is not configured until a verified official template URL is pasted
Citing editorial guides at https://x.ai/bot/guides as sources is fine. Turning them into shop install buttons is not.
How Botski relates to official Grok Bot
| Layer | Who | Cite |
|---|---|---|
| Product (computers, skills, approvals, Teams) | Official docs | https://docs.x.ai/grok-bot/ and children |
| Templates how-to narrative | Official guide | https://x.ai/bot/guides/templates-for-grok-bot (guide, not legal) |
| Third-party share/install legal | Binding terms | https://x.ai/legal/bot-sharing-terms — as-is; no verify/endorse/guarantee |
| Marketing role chips | Illustrative only | https://x.ai/bot — not marketplace inventory |
| Botski handbook / workshop | Rich Silver / Botski | This site — independent |
When shop copy and official docs clash, official wins on product meaning. When shop is empty, say empty — do not fill with invented guides or bots.
Keep / Scout notes for editors
- Keep will probe links before any future publish. Drafts stay honest until then. No invented installer URL is offered for probing.
- Scout baseline DIGEST is the internal cite priority map. This handbook does not invent policy beyond that map and live pages.
- Read next: What is Grok Bot? and Approvals, security, and privacy.
