Grok Bot audits a Mac mini repo through T3 Code and Tailscale
Max connected Grok Bot to T3 Code on his Mac mini over Tailscale. A read-only Claude thread mapped his blog repo in about 15 seconds and flagged missing sitemap, robots.txt and RSS files.

Through my approved T3 Code connection, start a read-only thread on [existing blog repository]. Map the codebase and report whether sitemap, robots.txt and RSS files exist. Do not modify files, add or clone repositories, or use cloud coding agents. If my Mac is unreachable, stop and report.

- Reported result
- Max reports a roughly 15-second repository mapping run that flagged missing sitemap, robots.txt and RSS files. No implementation of those fixes is established.
- Human involvement
- Max approved tailnet membership and T3 access, restricted project permissions, adds repositories himself and requested a read-only test. The post reports a renewal reminder.

How the agent did it
- Max connected the Mac mini and Grok Bot's computer through Tailscale, approving the bot joining his tailnet.
- He supplied T3 Code's MCP endpoint and approved limited access with a 30-day token; he adds repositories himself.
- Grok Bot started a read-only blog-repository thread; T3 ran Claude in a separate worktree.
Max (@talkaboutdesign) connected Grok Bot's cloud Linux computer to his own Mac mini so coding work could run on his hardware rather than through cloud coding agents. T3 Code ran on the Mac and exposed an MCP endpoint at its Tailscale address.
He installed Tailscale on the Mac and asked Grok Bot to install it on its computer, then approved the bot's device joining his tailnet. T3 authorization used an approval page and pairing code. Max chose limited access, giving the bot a 30-day token and permission to launch and run coding threads, but not add or clone projects. He adds repositories himself.
For the test, he requested a read-only thread on his blog repository. T3 started Claude in a separate worktree. Max says it mapped the codebase in about 15 seconds and identified a missing sitemap, robots.txt and RSS feed. The post reports findings, not completed fixes.
He also instructed Grok Bot that coding must go through T3, with no cloud-agent fallback. It passed that rule to his other bots. If the Mac is unreachable, they are instructed to stop and report. A token-renewal reminder was already set.

Frequently asked questions
Could the bot add new repositories?
No. Max chose access that allowed launching and running coding threads but not adding or cloning projects.
Were the missing blog files fixed?
The post describes a read-only run finding the missing files, not implementing fixes.
More details
Remaining steps
- The run mapped the codebase in about 15 seconds and flagged missing sitemap, robots.txt and RSS files, according to Max.
- Max required coding through T3 and stop-and-report behaviour if the Mac is unreachable; Grok Bot passed the rule to his other bots.
About this account
Grok Bot used T3 Code to launch the repository thread and passed the coding-location rule to other bots; Claude mapped the repository and reported missing files.
