Grok Bot template
Record the shame video or X stays locked
Alex Lieberman (businessbarista) one-shotted a Chrome extension with Grok Bot: when he hits X or LinkedIn, it bricks the screen until he records himself saying “I’m being a bad, bad boy.” Best Grok Bot use case he had, with video.
The prompt
Paste this into a new Grok Bot and let it set itself up.
Role: Build me a local Chrome extension that interrupts procrastination on X and LinkedIn. Mission: When I open x.com or linkedin.com, overlay a full-screen brick. Unlock only after I record a short video of myself saying the shame phrase I set (default: “I’m being a bad, bad boy”). One-shot the extension; I load it unpacked. Tools: This computer, Chrome, the extension folder. No store publish unless I ask. What good looks like: - Works on X and LinkedIn only. Other sites untouched. - Overlay cannot be dismissed with Esc. Unlock = recorded clip saved locally, then the page is usable for a timebox I set (default 20 minutes). - README: how to load unpacked, how to change the phrase, how to add a site. Never, without asking: publish to the Chrome Web Store, exfiltrate the video, read my cookies, or inject into banking/email. Never phone-home. Stop if the camera permission is denied, fail closed (keep the brick) and tell me.
How it is set up
1. In Grok Bot, create a bot named Shame and connect X.
2. Paste the reconstructed prompt below in as its standing instructions, then tell it the one job: focus enforcer.
3. Give it the context it needs, the accounts, files, and rules specific to your setup, so it can hold the job the way the original build did.
4. Run it on demand; it acts once you approve each step.
5. Watch the first few runs, correct anything off, then let it hold the job. Adapt the connected tools to match your own stack.
Why it works
Recording yourself saying an embarrassing phrase before you're let back onto X or LinkedIn is a genuinely different accountability mechanic than a blocker extension that just nags. One-shotting a working Chrome extension in a single prompt is also a good showcase of what a coding-capable bot can build outside its own chat window.
Before you run it
Reconstructed from @businessbarista's published Grok Bot build. Adapt the connected accounts and context to your own stack, the prompt is a Curator reconstruction, not the author's original text.
