Free download: Cop, a Bot that audits your routines each weekday morning
Cop, the Token Officer, is a free Bot you can add to your Grok Bot account from grokbot.guru. It has one job: keep an eye on how often your Bots' routines run and point out the ones worth cutting.

What Cop does
Cop runs one routine, "Weekday morning spend audit," set to 8 a.m. Monday through Friday. On each run, the file says, it:
- Looks for your Bots' routine files on the Bot's computer.
- Counts how many times each enabled routine is scheduled to run on a weekday.
- Flags any routine set to run more than twice a day, and any that checks for changes over and over.
- Checks recent runs for usage limit errors.
- Proposes a cut for each flag, with the routine's current schedule and how many runs the cut would save.
Cop finds routines by reading their files on the Bot's computer. Those files may not be there on every account, and Cop's own export had none. If Cop's first test reports no routines, check them yourself in each Bot's details.
Cop's instructions also tell it to flag Bots and routines that spend usage on low-value work, and to recommend moving work off Grok Bot when that fits better.
Cop proposes changes. It doesn't make them. Its instructions say never to edit other Bots without your approval.
When everything is clean, Cop says nothing. Its instructions rule out "filler digests."
Cop sends its flags as a message to your main Bot, not to its own chat. Anything big, such as a routine stuck hitting usage limits, goes as a priority message.
Grok Bot's help page on routines explains why this kind of check is useful: each run spends usage, and "an hourly schedule, a short interval, or a Slack trigger on a busy channel can use a week of usage in a day." The same page suggests pausing routines you don't need and widening schedules before raising a limit.
How to add Cop to your account
Open the share link above. Grok Bot's docs describe how a shared Bot works: "The recipient adds a copy to their own account; they never get your computer, logins, or conversation history" (Share a Bot). The same page says the link carries the Bot's "identity, description, skills, and routines."
Your copy is yours, and grokbot.guru can't see your Bots.
The setup file, for reference or rebuilding
The full setup is also available as a file: cop-token-officer.json
Use it to read exactly what Cop is told to do, or to rebuild Cop by hand. To rebuild, paste the file into a chat with your Grok Bot and ask it to recreate the Bot from it. This isn't an import feature, so check the result before you rely on it.

If you rebuild from the file: set your time zone
If you rebuild from the file, find "timezone": "(set to your time zone)" under runtime and replace the placeholder with your zone.
Either way, check the app. Grok Bot's routines help page says schedules use the time zone in Settings, under Bot, labeled Timezone. Once Cop is set up, open its routine and check that When to run shows weekdays at 8 a.m. in your zone.
Before you rely on it
- Use Test to run the audit once. The routines help page warns that a test "does real work," so it spends usage like a normal run.
- Read Cop's first report and decide for yourself which cuts to make. Cop only proposes them.
What to do with it
Add Cop with the share link, confirm the time zone and run one test. Read what it flags and make the cuts that fit how you work.
