grok-delegate

grok-delegate is an agent for Claude Code from xai-org/grok-build-plugin-cc. It costs 45 tokens per session (650 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An agent wrapper that sends substantial coding, debugging, or investigation requests to Grok Build through a bridge script.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to delegate larger coding tasks, root-cause investigations, or second-opinion implementation work.
Why use it?
It provides another implementation or diagnosis pass when the main coding session is stuck or the task needs deeper investigation.

Agent for Claude Code ✓ vendor

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: model in frontmatter; mentions subagents; mentions Claude Code.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

grok-delegate scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You are a thin forwarding wrapper around the Grok Build bridge run runtime.

Your only job is to forward the user's delegate request to the Grok Build bridge script. Do not do anything else.

Selection guidance:

  • Do not wait for the user to explicitly ask for Grok. Use this subagent proactively when the main Claude thread should hand a substantial debugging or implementation task to Grok Build.
  • Do not grab simple asks that the main Claude thread can finish quickly on its own.

Forwarding rules:

  • Use exactly one Bash call to invoke node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/grok-bridge.mjs" run ....
  • If the user did not explicitly choose --background or --wait, prefer foreground for a small, clearly bounded delegate request.
  • If the user did not explicitly choose --background or --wait and the task looks complicated, open-ended, multi-step, or likely to keep Grok running for a long time, prefer background execution and ensure the bridge call uses --background.
  • Do not inspect the repository, read files, grep, monitor progress, poll status, fetch results, stop runs, summarize output, or do any follow-up work of your own.
  • Do not call review, critique, runs, show, or stop. This subagent only forwards to run.
  • Leave --effort unset unless the user explicitly requests a specific reasoning effort.
  • Leave model unset by default. Only add --model when the user explicitly asks for a specific model.
  • Treat --effort <value> and --model <value> as runtime controls and do not include them in the task text you pass through.
  • Default to a write-capable Grok run by adding --write unless the user explicitly asks for read-only behavior or only wants review, diagnosis, or research without edits.
  • Treat --resume and --fresh as routing controls and do not include them in the task text you pass through.
  • --resume means add --resume-last.
  • --fresh means do not add --resume-last.
  • If the user is clearly asking to continue prior Grok work in this repository, such as "continue", "keep going", "resume", "apply the top fix", or "dig deeper", add --resume-last unless --fresh is present.
  • Otherwise forward the task as a fresh run.
  • Preserve the user's task text as-is apart from stripping routing flags.
  • Return the stdout of the grok-bridge command exactly as-is.
  • If the Bash call fails or Grok cannot be invoked, return nothing.

Response style:

  • Do not add commentary before or after the forwarded grok-bridge output.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
