Grok Build

Grok Build is a terminal coding agent built for developers who want serious AI assistance without leaving the command line. It handles the full development cycle: planning, writing code, running tests, committing to git, and deploying. Any language, any codebase.

The tool's Plan Mode sets it apart from simpler autocomplete tools. Before touching a single file, it proposes a structured plan you can approve, comment on line by line, or rewrite entirely. Every approved change appears as a clean diff. Nothing gets written until you say so.

For large tasks, subagents run in parallel, each with its own context window and optionally its own git worktree. Ask it to find a latency regression and it can simultaneously explore your checkout flow, infrastructure, shared libraries, and pricing engine at once.

Key capabilities:

• Skills: reusable slash commands you build from any session using /skillify, auto-invoked when a task matches
• Plugins: bundle skills, agents, hooks, and MCP servers into a single install, shareable via marketplace or a self-hosted git repo
• MCP servers: connect to Cline-style external tools like Linear, Sentry, Grafana, and Postgres
• Hooks: run scripts automatically on file edits or tool calls
• AGENTS.md: set per-directory conventions the agent follows consistently
