A read-only command for asking Grok questions, optionally including files as background information.

Use it to ask questions about a task or attach one or more files for review.

It provides another model's opinion without allowing that consultation to change project files.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

agentmods

npx agentmods add commands/faeton/claude-grok-plugin/consult

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/faeton/claude-grok-plugin

Or install grok, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 3 skills, 8 commands, 1 agent.

Per session 16 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

When invoked 426 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00016	$0.00426
Opus 5	$0.00008	$0.00213
Sonnet 5	$0.00003	$0.00085
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00043

Security

Grade A, and why

consult 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 3d 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

Ask Grok a question via the local companion. Consultation only — Grok runs strictly read-only and cannot edit files; do not act on its answer in this turn.

Raw slash-command arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Argument shape:

Everything after -- is the question text.
--file <path> (repeatable) attaches a file as context. Resolve paths relative to the current working directory.
--model, --effort, --reasoning-effort are passed through to Grok. The companion drops effort flags automatically if the target model does not support them.

If you cannot tell the question from the flags (no -- separator and it is ambiguous), use AskUserQuestion once to clarify.

Execution mode:

If $ARGUMENTS includes --wait, run in the foreground.
If it includes --background, pass --background to the companion (the companion detaches its own worker; you do NOT need Claude's run_in_background).
Otherwise default to foreground.

Foreground:

node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/grok-companion.mjs" consult $ARGUMENTS

Return the command stdout verbatim.

Background:

node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/grok-companion.mjs" consult --background $ARGUMENTS

Then tell the user to check /grok:status <id> and /grok:result <id>.

If the companion reports a failure (timeout, stopReason cancellation, or grok not ready), return that message verbatim — do not substitute your own answer.

Changes

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.
