List Bot Skills

The story

About List Bot Skills

An index of Grok Bot templates. Every link is checked before it publishes, nothing is ranked by who paid, and the people who made the templates keep everything they earn.

01

It was supposed to be a marketplace

The first version took payment from buyers, split it, and paid creators out. It got about a day of work before the research killed it.

Every merchant-of-record provider bans marketplaces — Dodo, Polar, Paddle, Lemon Squeezy, all of them. It isn't an oversight. A merchant of record is the legal seller of everything it processes, and none of them will be the legal seller of software uploaded by strangers. On top of that, collecting money in India and paying it out to third parties needs an RBI payment aggregator licence, which takes a ₹25 crore net worth and about six months.

So the marketplace was never going to happen. What was left turned out to be better.

02

A directory is the honest version

I sell one thing: a listing slot, for $10, live for a year. I never touch the transaction between you and whoever buys your template.

That means no cut of your sales, no holding your money for thirty days, no chargeback risk landing on you through me, and no incentive for me to bury a free template underneath a paid one. The ranking is newest or most-clicked. Neither is for sale.

03

What actually gets checked

Nothing is reviewed by hand, and I would rather say that plainly than imply a curation that doesn't happen. What is checked is automatic and happens before you pay:

The link has to be an official Grok host or a known checkout platform, so you never land on a dead share link or a redirect chain. Submitted text is scanned for API keys and tokens, because a leaked key in a public prompt would burn this site on day one. Fail either and the form refuses — no charge, nothing to refund.

Every listing also has to say what the bot must not do. If something has access to your inbox, where it stops matters more than what it promises.

Who built it

Abhijith — software engineer and indie maker. I like small, focused products, built in public.

Quick answers

Do you take a cut of my sales?
No. You link to wherever you already sell — Gumroad, Whop, your own checkout — and the money goes straight to you. I never see it. The $10 listing fee is the entire business model.
Does a free template still cost $10 to list?
Yes, today. The fee buys a slot, not a share of revenue, so it costs the same either way. It is also the only thing stopping the index filling with junk.
What gets a listing rejected?
A link that isn't an official Grok share link or a known checkout host, or anything that looks like a leaked API key. Both are refused on the form, before you pay, so you are never charged for something that cannot go live.
Do I need an account?
No. Browsing needs nothing. Listing needs an email address, which is where your receipt and your private edit link go. There are no passwords here.
Are you affiliated with xAI?
No. Grok and Grok Bot are theirs. This is an independent index of things people have made for it.
