Strong

Grok Build fits a checkout you already have. The brief names local agent sessions, MCP, repo work, and the command grok. Cost is xAI access. The installer itself is not stated, only x.ai/cli, so one install path today still leaves this page. Scored 7 because the repo fit is real and the install step is not executable from the facts given. That is Strong, not a higher band.

Best practices

  • On a first run, start with /tour or /tutorial. It walks through the first prompt, attachments, slash commands, worktrees, plan mode, permissions, AGENTS.md, and memory inside the terminal. @XFreeze
  • Carry settings, rules, and skills over from Claude, Cursor, or Codex instead of rebuilding that setup. @XFreeze
