From the official Grok Bot docs

Read this bug report and reproduce it in staging using a fresh test account. Return exact steps, expected and actual behavior, screenshots, browser and OS details, relevant console or network notes, and a minimal test case if possible. Do not use production customer data.

Method

  1. 01

    Connect the tracker, staging, a browser, and network tools

    Give test credentials through the secure handoff, not by pasting them into chat. The run uses a fresh test account in staging.

  2. 02

    Paste the starter prompt with the report

    The bot reads the report and tries to reproduce it. It returns steps, expected and actual behavior, screenshots, browser and OS details, console or network notes, and a minimal test case when it can.

  3. 03

    Review the evidence

    Open the screenshots and the notes. The pack is the result. Production customer data stays out of it.
