ask

ask is a command for Claude Code from LovelaceLoom/grok-plugin-cc. It costs 11 tokens per session (277 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A read-only command for sending a one-off question to xAI Grok and returning its answer. Read-only means it does not make changes to the project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for isolated questions that need Grok's answer, rather than for multi-file implementation work or investigations.
Why use it?
It provides a quick second opinion without starting a larger delegated coding task or allowing the companion to edit files.

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

ask 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 1mo 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

Forward the user's question to the Grok companion in read-only mode and return the answer verbatim.

Raw user input: $ARGUMENTS

Run:

node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/companion.mjs" ask "$ARGUMENTS"

Output rules:

  • Return the companion's stdout verbatim. Do not paraphrase or summarize.
  • If stderr contains a [hint: ...] line about auth, also surface that hint and suggest /grok:setup.
  • If $ARGUMENTS is empty, ask the user what they want Grok to answer instead of running the command.
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.
