Grok Bot system prompts — who collects them
Grok Bot system prompts — who collects them
Section titled “Grok Bot system prompts — who collects them”Two products, two prompt surfaces
Section titled “Two products, two prompt surfaces”| Product | What it is | Public official prompts? | Best known collector |
|---|---|---|---|
Grok chat (grok.com, X) + @grok bot on X | Chat assistant / mention bot | Yes — xAI ships them | xai-org/grok-prompts (~4.5k★) |
| Grok Bot (desktop / iOS agents, box, teammates) | Always-on agent product (Anysphere / Cursor lineage) | No dedicated official repo found | asgeirtj/system_prompts_leaks → xAI/grok-bot.md |
xAI’s README is explicit: prompts for “the Grok chat assistant and various product features across X and grok.com,” including ask_grok_system_prompt.j2 for the X mention bot — not the Grok Bot app.
Primary collectors (GitHub)
Section titled “Primary collectors (GitHub)”1) asgeirtj/system_prompts_leaks — main hub (~68k★)
Section titled “1) asgeirtj/system_prompts_leaks — main hub (~68k★)”- Continuously updated multi-vendor leak archive (Claude, ChatGPT/Codex, Gemini, Grok, Cursor, …).
- Grok Bot: listed in “Most recent additions” as Aug 21, 2026 →
xAI/grok-bot.md(~306 KB / ~4.7k lines in the capture checked). - Same
xAI/folder also holds chat-era Grok prompts (4.x line, Build/CLI, personas, safety), separate from the Bot file. - Also has a Cursor prompt under
Cursor/cursor.md(IDE product, not Grok Bot). - Used by press / analysis (e.g. Washington Post interactive cited in the repo README).
Capture shape (headings only — do not paste the body into the vault): numbered system-prompt sections (turn rhythm, voice channel, tone, autonomy, box/desktop, routines, channels, memory), then “About the user” / memory log, then subagent variant prompts (computerUse, browserUse, debug, videoReview, vmSetupHelper, watchVideo, …). Tool naming in the Aug 2026 file can lag live product (e.g. older SendMessage wording).
2) xai-org/grok-prompts — official, chat-only (~4.5k★)
Section titled “2) xai-org/grok-prompts — official, chat-only (~4.5k★)”Published Jinja / text files, AGPL-3.0, regularly updated by xAI. Examples from the README:
grok4_system_turn_prompt_v8.j2, Grok 3 / 4.1 variants — chat on grok.com and Xask_grok_system_prompt.j2—@grokon Xgrok_analyze_button.j2— Grok Explain on Xgrok_4_*_safety_prompt.txt/ mini / code — API injected prefixes
Not a Grok Bot (desktop agent) prompt dump.
3) Smaller / adjacent repos
Section titled “3) Smaller / adjacent repos”| Repo | Role |
|---|---|
| aarock1234/grok-bot | Tiny dedicated “archive of the system prompts for XAI’s Grok Bot” (low traffic; treat as secondary mirror, prefer asgeirtj) |
| jujumilk3/leaked-system-prompts | Older multi-vendor leak collection (~15k★); Grok chat-era material, less of a live Bot hub than asgeirtj |
| YeeKal/leaked-system-prompts | Another multi-vendor archive; indexes Grok chat leaks + points at official grok-prompts and system_prompts_leaks |
| ZeroPointRepo/GrokBotDev | Community directory of user Grok Bot prompts / plugins / use cases (not the platform system prompt) |
| RongleCat/awesome-grok-bot | Curated Grok Bot resources list |
4) Source-oriented reconstruction (context for how prompts are assembled)
Section titled “4) Source-oriented reconstruction (context for how prompts are assembled)”- b-nnett/grok-bot-0.18-reconstructed (~3.5k★) — unofficial reconstruction of Grok Bot 0.18.0 (macOS-oriented).
- Analysis write-up: Grok Bot Leak: Why an Agent’s System Prompt Must Be Frozen (2026-08-27) — harness lessons from that leak: freeze memory/profile to compaction epoch for KV-cache prefix stability; inject only true per-turn runtime status; spill large MCP schemas to files (~12 KB threshold) with read-before-call checks. Useful for DIY coordinators; independent of copying prompt text.
Coding-agent prompt mega-repos (e.g. x1xhlol/system-prompts-and-models-of-ai-tools) focus on Cursor / Claude Code / Devin-class tools more than Grok Bot.
Practical takeaway
Section titled “Practical takeaway”- Looking for Grok Bot (agent product) system prompt collections → start at asgeirtj
xAI/grok-bot.md; optionally cross-check tiny mirrors and the 0.18 reconstruction + yage harness notes. - Looking for Grok chat / X
@grok→ use officialxai-org/grok-prompts. - Vault policy for this note: link + summarize; do not mirror full proprietary/leaked prompt bodies into Digests.
