Grok cli agent

Skill ImL1s/agent-cli-skills/skills/grok-cli-agent

Run xAI Grok Build CLI headlessly via grok-exec.sh. Use when the user asks for grok, Grok Build, xAI coding agent, spawn_subagent, or grok worktrees. -r is plan mode with write/shell denied; -T asks for native subagent fan-out; -w enables --worktree. No PTY required. Orchestrator owns git.From its SKILL.md

Grok Build CLI (`grok`) Executor

When to use

User wants grok / Grok Build as the coding agent
Need Grok spawn_subagent, --agents JSON, or --worktree isolation from an orchestrator

Wrapper

./grok-exec.sh -C /path/to/repo -t 1800s "Implement X. NO git."
./grok-exec.sh -r -C /path/to/repo "Review lib/foo for races"
./grok-exec.sh -T -C /path/to/repo "Parallel research + implement"
./grok-exec.sh -f /tmp/bundle.txt -m grok-4.5 -e high -o json
./grok-exec.sh -w feat-branch -C /path/to/repo "Isolated worktree edit"

Flags: -m · -t · -C · -e effort · -o plain|json|streaming-json · -f · -r (plan + deny write/shell) · -s PROFILE · -T native subagent preamble · -w [NAME] worktree · --agents JSON · --max-turns · --json-schema · --rules · --disable-web-search · --no-git · -- passthrough.

Default model: grok-4.5 (grok models). No PTY needed — headless -p works on pipes. -C is absolutized before use.

Native multi-agent

Grok has first-class spawn_subagent (types: general-purpose, explore, plan), --agents JSON definitions, --no-subagents, --worktree isolation. -T asks the model to fan out freely and synthesize.

Discipline

Exit code untrusted — verify results yourself
Orchestrator owns git (--no-git)
Long prompts: always -f file
