# Grok Bot: put changing facts in /workspace, not Bot memory

## When
Use when a Bot is about to 'remember' a fact that will go stale in the profile.

## Stop
Never store rotating facts only in Bot memory. Never treat chat as the system of record.

## Steps
1. Durable files live at `/workspace` on the **shared** cloud computer. Ask Bots to keep project files there with clear folders (`docs.x.ai/grok-bot/computer-and-apps`).
2. Bot memory can keep stable preferences / role summaries. It is **not** the source of truth for facts that change. Keep changing facts in the source system or a file the Bot re-reads (`docs.x.ai/grok-bot/bots`, FAQ).
3. Description = standing rules. Message = this week’s task. Skill = method. Routine = clock.
4. reads `/workspace/learner-profile.md`
5. checks each prerequisite against background + completed resources
6. adds page durations (preserve conflicting duration fields; use the upper bound only for the budget check)
7. returns the agreed fields
8. stops before any action that needs approval

## Load
/workspace files. Profile holds durable rules only.
