About Grok Build
Overview
Grok Build is a coding agent that runs on your computer, now powered by the Grok 4.6 model. It covers the entire development workflow — plan, build, test, and deploy — from a single terminal tool.
Install with one command, curl -fsSL https://x.ai/cli/install.sh | bash, and use it with any codebase and any language. It is available to try for free, and the project is open source.
Key Benefits
- Grok 4.6 powers planning, code generation, and deep step-by-step reasoning
- Plan mode proposes a structured approach and blocks every edit until you approve it
- Parallel subagents research, build, and review with their own context windows
- Skills, plugins, hooks, AGENTS.md, and MCP servers work out of the box
- Capture any session as a reusable skill with /skillify
- Share capabilities across your team with marketplace installs or self-hosted bundles
How It Works
Run the one-line install command to bring Grok to your computer. Start a task in the terminal and use Plan mode to propose a structured approach first — every edit stays blocked until you approve, comment on individual steps, or rewrite the plan. Each approved change then appears as a clean diff, with ambiguous tasks resolved through quick multiple-choice questions.
Use Cases
- Developers use plan mode to architect complex projects before writing code
- Engineering teams bundle skills, agents, and MCP servers to share capabilities
- Teams run parallel subagents to research and review while main work proceeds
- CI/CD pipelines run Grok Build in headless mode to script builds and tests
- Developers get line-by-line code review feedback before opening a pull request
- Engineers look up docs and packages from the terminal with web search
Why Choose This Product
Grok Build is open source and free to try, with a single-command install that works with any codebase and language. It connects to Linear, Sentry, Grafana, Postgres, and anything else with an MCP server, and it adapts to your workflows through skills, hooks, and per-directory AGENTS.md rules.
