### Where does the bug appear (feature/product)? Grok Bot ### Describe the Bug Imported the dr eggbot template. Its 4 skills now show up under Private skills “From template”, so the import part looks fixed. But scheduled runs of its routines (transcript-healthcheck) don’t get ReadTranscript or those template skills. The same skill works fine in a normal chat turn. Staff said in early Nov that scheduled routines can’t use ReadTranscript right now. Is there an ETA? Support ticket T-I20555. Right now my workaround is having the routine hand the job back to the main chat. ### Steps to Reproduce Run the transcript-healthcheck routine of the imported dr eggbot template on a schedule. The scheduled run doesn’t get ReadTranscript or the template skills; the same skill works in a normal chat turn. ### Expected Behavior Scheduled routine runs should get ReadTranscript and the template skills, as normal chat turns do. ### Operating System Other ### Version Information Not provided (Grok Bot, scheduled routine runs) ### Does this stop you from using Cursor No - Cursor works, but with this issue ---

Same issue here (Nov 12, 2026). A weekday routine (8:44 AM America/Lima) that checks my other bots’ chats for stalls fails because ReadTranscript isn’t available in scheduled runs; the same tool works in a normal chat turn. Until ~Nov 6 the routine read /home/box/agent-data/gateway.json; since ~Nov 8 that file is owned by sand-host (mode 600) and /home/box/agent-data/agent-transcripts doesn’t exist, so there’s no local fallback either. Result: the routine failed on Nov 9, 10, 11 and 12 and is paused. Expected: scheduled routine runs get ReadTranscript like chat turns, or the routines docs list which tools are unavailable there and the supported alternative. Any ETA? ---

Hi @LANES_Records, no ETA to share yet on either part, sorry! ReadTranscript still isn’t available in scheduled routine runs. That’s a known issue the team is aware of. The template skills are a separate gap: skills that came with a template are only loaded in the bot’s main chat right now, so a scheduled run can’t see them even though they show under Private skills. I’ve passed that one to the team. Having the routine hand the job back to the main chat is the right workaround for both, since the main chat has ReadTranscript and the template skills. I’ll post here when there’s an update.
