Overview
Grok Build is a terminal-based AI coding agent from xAI. It runs as a full-screen terminal interface that understands your codebase, edits files, runs shell commands, searches the web and manages long-running tasks. The repository contains the Rust source for the grok CLI and its agent runtime.
What it does well
Grok Build works interactively, headlessly for scripts and CI, or inside editors through the Agent Client Protocol. Prebuilt binaries are available for macOS, Linux and Windows, and it can be built from source.
Why it’s in the collection
Grok Build is one of the big AI labs' coding agents with its source published under the Apache license, so you can see exactly how it works and build on it.
