Common Questions
Why do I need the zip?
Adding a bot only brings its name and description. The zip adds everything else it needs to do its job.
Can I drag the zip into the chat instead?
Maybe. We couldn’t confirm drag and drop in our test, so use + then Attach files.
How do I know it worked?
Send “List your skills.” The bot names what it installed.
What if my skills are full?
Each Grok Bot account holds a limited number of skills, shared by all its bots. Remove ones you don’t use, then try again.
