# A clear brief for one useful workflow

An editorial planning checklist from Grok Bot Wiki.

This is a worksheet, not a recorded Grok Bot run or a guarantee of feasibility.

## Five questions before you start

- [ ] One task: what repeats, how often, and what do you do today?
- [ ] Inputs: which sources and tools can you provide?
- [ ] Output: what should you receive, in what format, and where?
- [ ] Checks: how will you spot missing information or a wrong result?
- [ ] Boundaries: what requires approval, and when should the workflow stop?

1. Use public or synthetic inputs first.
2. Open the sources behind factual claims.
3. Record what was missing, wrong or needed a correction.
4. Check what happens when an input is missing or access fails.
5. Refine the brief before scheduling or expanding the workflow.
