Simple prompt tweak: short bullet-point emoji replies make Grok agent work easier

The author shares a small but effective tweak when working with the Grok bot agent: ask it to keep answers as short as possible and prefer emoji bullet points.
The screenshot shows the payoff — the agent reports on PR #288's hero layout work in cleanly scannable points (one container, centered H1, preset suggestion pills, muted highlights, post-submit layout), and explicitly commits to pulling latest commits first and never force-pushing over them. The author says this format makes working with the agent much easier and more productive.
