remote-autostart

remote-autostart is a command for coding agents from Amnibro/grok-remote. It costs 19 tokens per session (417 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for managing whether Grok Remote starts automatically when a Grok session begins or when Windows starts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to enable session startup, enable Windows logon startup, disable either setup, or view the configuration and service health.
Why use it?
It avoids repeatedly starting the remote interface by hand and lets you check or remove its automatic startup settings.

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

remote-autostart 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 4d 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

/remote-autostart

Manage auto-start for Grok-Remote. Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Parse first token

Arg Action
on / enable / empty Enable autostart (session hook). Optional path = default cwd
boot Enable session + Windows logon task
off / disable Disable autostart and remove logon task
status Show config path + flags + whether UI is healthy

Steps

  1. Resolve plugin root (GROK_PLUGIN_ROOT or ~/.grok/plugins/grok-remote or repo with start.ps1).
  2. Run:

on:

powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "$PLUGIN\scripts\install-autostart.ps1" -Cwd "<workspace or arg>"

boot:

powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "$PLUGIN\scripts\install-autostart.ps1" -Boot -Cwd "<workspace>"

off:

powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "$PLUGIN\scripts\install-autostart.ps1" -Disable

status:

  • Read ~/.grok/plugin-data/grok-remote/config.json (or GROK_PLUGIN_DATA)
  • Invoke-RestMethod http://127.0.0.1:2421/health if possible
  • schtasks /Query /TN GrokRemoteAutostart if present
  1. Tell the user clearly what was enabled and that a new Grok session is needed for SessionStart hooks to load.

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.
