I’ve been using Grok Bot in early access for a little over a week now, and it has been a massive boost to my game dev workflow and my productivity in general.
Danny Limanseta pointed the bot at his art tool and his codebase. It wrote a prompt per asset, cropped 74 transparent PNGs, and wired them back into the game.
For
You are shipping a game and still replacing placeholders one card at a time.
When you're done
Clean card art in the game, a playtest skill that knows the rules, an itch page that takes a GitHub push, and PRD wireframes in Figma.
How
- 01 Point it at the art tool and the repo.
Replace every image placeholder. No one-off cards.
- 02 One prompt per asset, then wire it back.
Generate, crop to a transparent PNG, put it in the game.
- 03 Teach a playtest skill.
Rules and mechanics in the skill. Then run it again.
- 04 Push to GitHub, land on itch.
A new build should not need a manual website trip.
- 05 Hand over the PRD for Figma.
UX flows and wireframes. Subs and newsletters later.
Notes
What's good: he stopped hand-making each asset. The catch: the first playtest pass was slow until he taught a skill, and the newsletter sweep still missed a few lists.
Prompt
Open my custom art tool. Read the game codebase and list every image placeholder. For each one, write a generation prompt that matches what the card is, make the art, crop it to a clean transparent PNG, and put it back in the game. Come back with a count of assets replaced. Do not skip a placeholder.

Build a playtest skill for this game. Learn the rules and mechanics first. Then play. Note what is confusing, what is broken, and what a new player would miss. Keep the skill so the next pass is faster.
