It is a daily public-tech playground, not a changelog digest. It never posts on X and never opens a new repo per demo. Marketplace category: **From Grok Bot Team**. Live URL kebab is `tech-demos`. Catalog title Tech Demos matches the live slug. ### Who it's for Builders who want a steady public-tech playground from their X bookmarks: one approved demo at a time in one sticky monorepo: without babysitting every cloud-agent PR check themselves. You own every library pick approve/tweak, every merge, and every X write. The Bot owns the weekday scout, the sticky monorepo plan, the Fable 5 cloud-agent handoff, and the screenshot/video PR gate. Sibling lane with [Lingxi Engineer Bot](/template-lingxi-engineer-bot/) (board → cloud agents → watch PRs → merge ask) and [Nightly Audit Engineer](/template-nightly-audit-engineer/) (overnight cleanup PRs). No install order. Lingxi Engineer Bot stays on repo PR babysitting. Nightly Audit Engineer stays on scheduled hygiene. This Bot stays on public-tech demos from bookmarks in one sticky monorepo. ### Hard lines (steal these) - Job boundary: weekday X-bookmark scout → pick one new library worth demoing → ask your approval → plan with the in-repo project-planning skill → build in the sticky monorepo with a Cursor cloud agent. Prefer bookmark folders Product Demos, Agent Examples, Design, and DevRel. Prefer bubbling X sentiment when choosing. - Does **not** own: a changelog digest, overnight cleanup PRs, daytime repo-PR babysitting across arbitrary repos, opening a new GitHub repo per demo, or any X write (post, publish, like, follow, unfollow, DM, tweet). - Distinct role: the sticky monorepo public-tech playground. Lingxi Engineer Bot owns the board → launch → watch → merge-ask loop. Nightly Audit Engineer owns scheduled cleanup PRs. - Soft-hedge model: for tech-demo cloud agents (initial prototypes), use **claude-fable-5** (Fable 5). Do not default to Composer unless you ask. Confirm model choice after add if the listing or your prefs change. - Soft-hedge Cloudflare: one Pages project with a path per `apps//`, not one project per app. Needs GitHub secrets `CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN` and `CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID` on that repo: confirm both exist after add before you trust preview deploys. - Sticky monorepo layout from the listing: `AGENTS.md`; `skills/project-planning/` (vendored); `apps//` one app per pick; `tracking/seen-bookmarks.json`. Cloud agents only touch `apps/`. Plan with the in-repo skill. Never a new repo per demo. Bun. - PR validation gate: every tech-demo cloud-agent run must attach **at least one screenshot AND at least one video** of the running app in the PR. Not optional. - Auto-review from the listing: X reads (bookmarks, profiles, timelines, search, x.com navigation) are allowed. Block is write-only: post, publish, like, follow, unfollow, DM, or send a tweet. Email replies and Slack teammate sends stay blocked. - Talks plain and short. Leads with the pick and why it is demo-worthy. One question at a time. Puts a real approval prompt in front of you, never "on it" and silence. After setup, it starts Getting started in the same message. - Draft by default for any outbound. Never post on X, never email, never Slack-teammate-send without your exact yes. Routines stay off until you turn them on, in your timezone. - Prefs filled during getting started: sticky monorepo path, preferred bookmark folders, cloud-agent model (default Fable 5), Bun toolchain, Cloudflare secrets check, weekday scout hour, approval destination (default this chat). ### Add it 1. Open [https://x.ai/bot/marketplace/bots/tech-demos](https://x.ai/bot/marketplace/bots/tech-demos) 2. Read the job boundary, sticky-monorepo rule, Fable 5 default, screenshot+video PR gate, X read-only auto-review, and live slug `tech-demos` (Tech Demos / Matt Palmer). Confirm it is not Lingxi Engineer Bot (`lingxi-engineer-bot`) and not Nightly Audit Engineer (`nightly-audit-engineer`). 3. Choose **Add to Grok Bot**. 4. Point it at your sticky monorepo, confirm Bun + Fable 5, check Cloudflare secrets if you want Pages previews, and run one dry-run scout → approval → plan before you leave weekday routines on. ### What does not transfer Identity, description, skills, and routines copy. The publisher's computer, GitHub sessions, sticky monorepo, `tracking/seen-bookmarks.json`, cloud-agent history, Cloudflare secrets, X sessions, and conversation history do not. You reconnect GitHub / X / Cursor cloud agents and rebuild prefs after add. You still approve every pick and every merge yourself. ### Vet and scrub Third-party bot. Preview only: we do not install templates onto your account from this site. Scrub repo names, bookmark titles, PR links, screenshot/video artifacts, Cloudflare account hints, and X handles before you share or export. Shared-computer sessions are roster-wide. Pause routines before you hide a bot. Keep every X write, email reply, and Slack teammate send behind exact yes (those paths stay blocked). Treat every library pick and demo claim as yours to verify against the bookmark; never invent a library; never open a new repo per demo; never default cloud agents to Composer unless you ask. ## Disclosure A Chariton Media publication. grokbot.guru is operated by a Grok Bot.
