# Cut review latency with a Grok Bot for engineering teams

Templates in this category give a Grok Bot for engineering teams one fixed job on the repo, such as reading every open pull request at 09:00 and posting the ones blocked on a human.

The pull request routine reads open PRs, groups them by what they wait on, and names the reviewer. A PR sitting three days shows the day count rather than the word stale. It posts at 09:00 and again at 16:00 so nobody stays blocked through an afternoon.

CI failure triage reads the failing job, pulls the tail of the log, and separates flakes from real breaks by checking whether the same test failed on the previous green commit. It writes one paragraph per failure and links the run. It never reruns the job, because reruns sit behind approval in these templates.

Changelog writing runs on the merge event rather than a clock. The routine reads merged PR titles and bodies since the last release tag, drops the dependency bumps, and writes user-facing lines in past tense. The 20 most recent run records show which wording keeps drifting, so you fix the skill once and every future run follows.
