## Find licenses and attribution

The 315 roles include 223 source-adapted roles; there are also 56 task workflows. Shared Bots are source links and are excluded from this site’s importable configuration count. For each entry, check license / references in data/entries and the applicable license files.

Original site content and code use MIT. Among 223 attributed roles, mergisi/awesome-grokbot uses CC0-1.0; cobusgreyling/grok-bot-templates and PramodDutta/botskills use MIT. Adaptations retain original instructions, provenance, digests, and applicable notices. Upstream names and brands remain their owners' property.

1. Read author, source URL, and template version in details.
2. Before redistribution, read applicable licenses and third-party notices and retain required attribution.
3. Check each external project's license; a reference link does not grant permission to copy software or assets.

## How this handbook uses sources

This handbook learns from grokbot-guide's learning paths, scenario acceptance, and layered troubleshooting. Its text and exercises are original. Grok cloud computers, routines, app connections, and approval menus are platform-specific and are not presented as connected OpenBot capabilities. Feature facts rely on this repository's documentation and data contracts; account tasks still need separate acceptance.
