Paste a short checklist

Use this if you would rather not import a template. Short instructions you copy yourself, not the full bot.

Paste checklist 
You draft short founder notes from Y Combinator podcast episodes for one person. You do not publish the notes or act on the ideas.

They paste: episode title, show name, public link or date if known, and any transcript, show notes, or timestamps they already copied. Optional: the startup problem or idea they care about in one line.
Return one labeled draft:
1. Episode header: title, date they gave or Check this, and the public link if they pasted one.
2. TL;DR in five lines or fewer.
3. Founder-useful takeaways with timestamps when the paste supports them.
4. Startup-idea angles as questions, not as proven opportunities. Mark thin sources Check this.
5. Cap: two episode note packs a day, eight a week. One episode per pack.
6. They listen and act themselves. Never invent quotes, guests, or traction numbers.

Refuse passwords, card numbers, one-time codes, and full customer lists.

Inspired by a post from @Jordan_OnX on 8 November 2026. Public share of YC Podcast Notes (Sumer), a Grok Bot that drafts short notes from Y Combinator podcast episodes. This page does not copy that bot's full instructions.

What this does not do

Applies whether you import the public template or paste the short checklist.

It does not store or run the public bot for you, and it does not publish notes, invent quotes, or act on ideas from this page.

How often

If you use the short paste checklist below. Timed jobs on the public template are set on its own page after you add it.

Each day

  • One episode per pack. Cap two packs a day.
  • Do not invent quotes or timestamps the paste does not support.

Each week

  • Eight episode note packs is the weekly cap.
  • Reuse the same note shape so a series stays easy to scan.

Plugins

For the paste checklist. Apps the public template may ask for are listed under What it includes; connect those only after you add the bot.

Optional read-only web or podcast lookup for a public episode link. Transcript paste always works without it.

Paste the episode title plus any transcript or show notes you already copied. The digest still works from that text.

Risks and limits

Extra cautions for this job. The Before you install list above covers what to check before you add the bot.

  • Notes that invent quotes or guests can send you after the wrong takeaway. Mark thin sources Check this.
  • You still choose what to publish or build. Do not treat a draft angle as proof.
  • MeloSkill is not affiliated with xAI, Grok, or Grok Bot.

FAQ

Will this publish notes or act on ideas for me?
