Turn a finished job into a skill all your Bots can use
Not tested yet: This path comes from the same docs section that still describes the / menu.
One sentence after a good run saves the method as a skill every Bot can reuse.
You can save any job that went well as a skill by asking for it at the end. Cursor's docs say skills are available across your Bots.
Why it matters#
Without a skill, each Bot relearns the job, and a routine runs whatever loose instruction it got. The fan account @GrokBotRadar puts it simply: "Description = the rules. Skill = the how. Routine = the when."
How to use it#
- Finish a real task and correct it until it's right.
- Ask the Bot to save the process as a named skill.
- If another Bot can't see it, enable it under Settings > Plugins > Yours. Needs re-check: this path comes from the same docs section that still describes the / menu.
- Test it on a safe input before scheduling it.
Save the process we used for this task as a skill called "Weekly account health". Include the source systems, risk definitions, output format, and the rule that customer contact always requires approval.
Good to know#
- Each Bot still needs the plugin or login the skill uses.
- Cursor's docs still say to type / in the composer to reference a skill. The newer Oct 7 changelog (0.68.1) says typing / "no longer opens a menu of skills and actions." We go with the newer source: ask for the skill by name.
- The prompt is the docs' example.
- 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 create skills from here.
