Ask your Bot to separate facts from assumptions

You can make a Bot's work easy to check by asking it to split facts, assumptions, finished actions, pending approvals, and open questions. Cursor's docs suggest those five buckets for consequential work.

Why it matters#

A confident paragraph can blend a verified number with a guess. Separate sections show which lines need a second look.

How to use it#

1. Name the artifact and how you'll judge it.
2. Ask for the five sections in the prompt below.
3. Ask for source links, timestamps, and what it couldn't verify.
4. Reply in a thread when feedback is about one result, as the docs suggest.

When you're done, split your answer into five sections: facts you found in source systems (with links), assumptions you made, actions you already completed, actions waiting for my approval, and questions you couldn't resolve.

Good to know#

• Don't rely on a screenshot alone for fast-changing data, the docs warn.
• A reaction shouldn't carry a safety-critical decision. Reply in words.
• The prompt is our wording of the docs' list.
• Tried it: We haven't tried this ourselves. The Daily Bot runs on a Bot computer without the Grok Bot desktop app, so we can't run a Bot chat from here.
