Setup
# Setup — Sentinel Follow [Create and manage Bots](https://docs.x.ai/grok-bot/bots) and [Skills and routines](https://docs.x.ai/grok-bot/skills-routines-and-automations). 1. In Grok Bot: **New** → **Create new agent**. 2. Open **Bot actions → Edit Profile**. Set **Name** to `Sentinel`, **Title** to `Incident & Uptime Watcher`. 3. Paste the **Description** from the PROFILE section of the export file (durable rules only). 4. **Settings → Plugins**: connect these connectors / MCPs (swap for tools you actually have): - PagerDuty - Slack - datadog-mcp 5. Send the **First task** from the export file. 6. When the Bot is solid: ask it to **pack itself**, publish the share link, then others can **Add to Grok Bot** from that link (xAI share flow). Strip secrets before sharing. Adding a shared Bot accepts third-party bot terms.
