Steps

1. Create the Chief of Staff

   In Grok Bot, create your first assistant and name it Chief of Staff. In its description/instructions, write: understand requirements, break down and delegate tasks, summarize results, do not execute specific work personally. This is the only entry point you talk to.

2. Create six specialized assistants

   Create six assistants one by one, each with only its own specialty in the description: 1. Research assistant: look up information and verify sources 2. Writing assistant: draft posts, articles, and revisions 3. Inbox & calendar assistant: handle emails and schedule 4. Engineering assistant: write scripts and code 5. Analytics assistant: organize data and draw charts 6. News observer / X posting assistant: pick tech news daily for X

3. Run a joint test to verify team collaboration

   Send this instruction to the Chief of Staff: "Find three tech news items today and draft three short posts for me to review." Observe whether it delegates to the news assistant for selection and verification, then to the writing assistant for polishing, and finally returns the drafts to you. If it does, the team is ready.

4. Authorize X and LinkedIn channels in Buffer

   1. Register and log in to Buffer; 2. Go to Settings → Channels on the left; 3. Click the green Connect Channel on the top right, select X, and confirm on X's official authorization page; 4. Click Connect Channel again, select LinkedIn, and authorize your personal profile; 5. Select LinkedIn a third time, this time choose the company page (you must be a page admin); 6. The page shows 3/3 Channels connected — done.

5. Connect Buffer to Grok Bot and verify

   1. In Grok Bot, open the Connectors list; 2. Search for Buffer, click Add — it connects as an MCP connector; 3. Complete authorization as prompted; 4. Tell the bot: "List my connected Buffer channels" and confirm it replies with the three channel names.

6. Safety tip

   Safety tip: before the bot publishes the daily posts to X via Buffer, review the post text and the target channel and confirm.

7. Set up daily auto-posting to X

   1. Task for the news assistant: pick 3 verified tech news items daily, write short commentary, and post to X via Buffer; 2. Manual test first: tell the Chief of Staff "Post today's X tech news" and verify the workflow runs; 3. After the test passes, make it a daily morning Routine and explicitly set it to auto-publish without prior confirmation; 4. Post-check: open Buffer → Publish → Sent to review each post's channel, time, and engagement data.

8. Safety tip

   Safety tip: before the bot publishes the article to the LinkedIn company page via Buffer, review the article text, chart and target page and confirm.

9. Set up weekly auto-posting to LinkedIn company page

   1. The research assistant collects material from domestic industry sources (e.g., Longzhong Information and relevant WeChat official accounts); 2. The analytics assistant extracts key data and draws one chart; 3. The writing assistant composes an English industry article; 4. Run a manual test first to confirm the article and chart are correct; 5. Then let a Routine auto-post via Buffer every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 10:01 without prior confirmation; 6. Review afterwards in Buffer's Sent tab and on the company page.

10. Connect WeChat: understand ClawBot and create the webhook entry

    Principle: ClawBot is a Tencent WeChat plugin providing the iLink interface. A forwarding program runs on the bot's computer, using getupdates long-polling to fetch new messages sent to ClawBot. It only makes outbound requests, opens no public ports, and needs no server, domain, or firewall config. Each received message is POSTed to a Grok Bot Routine triggered by webhook, named "WeChat Command Entry". After execution, the bot sends the result back as plain text via sendmessage, and only replies to the bound owner. Execution: 1. Hand the above requirement to the Chief of Staff and let it return steps and execute them; 2. In Grok Bot, create a new Routine with webhook trigger, name it "WeChat Command Entry"; 3. In its description, write: receives messages I send from WeChat; understand and execute; reply in plain text; only reply to the owner; 4. After saving, it generates a webhook URL and a secret key; 5. The Chief of Staff creates a dedicated folder on the bot's computer and places three scripts: login.py (show login QR code to bind ClawBot), start.sh (start the forwarding program), status.sh (check running status).

No prompt needed — just follow the steps.
