setup

A setup command that checks whether the local Grok command-line tool is installed and ready to use. It can also turn a review step on or off when the tool supports that option.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before using Grok to check installation and login status, optionally install the command-line tool, or change the stop-time review setting.
Why use it?
It shows whether Grok is available and identifies the next authentication or installation step when it is not ready. This avoids discovering setup problems only when trying to run another command.

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.

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 D, and why

setup scanned grade D with 3 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 2d 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.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

2. Set `XAI_API_KEY` (get a key from https://console.x.ai) — either inline (`export XAI_API_KEY=...`) or in `~/.claude/settings.json` under `env`. (The legacy `GROK_CODE_XAI_API_KEY` still works as a fallback.)

What it actually says

Run:

node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/companion.mjs" setup --json "$ARGUMENTS"

If the result says Grok is unavailable:

  • Use AskUserQuestion exactly once to ask whether Claude should install Grok now.
  • Put the install option first and suffix it with (Recommended).
  • Use these two options:
    • Install Grok CLI (Recommended)
    • Skip for now
  • If the user chooses install, run:
curl -fsSL https://x.ai/cli/install.sh | bash
  • Then rerun:
node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/companion.mjs" setup --json "$ARGUMENTS"

If Grok is already installed:

  • Do not ask about installation.

If Grok is installed but not authenticated, the JSON nextSteps will spell out the two options. Present them to the user verbatim. The two valid options are:

  1. Run !grok login and complete the browser OAuth flow.
  2. Set XAI_API_KEY (get a key from https://console.x.ai) — either inline (export XAI_API_KEY=...) or in ~/.claude/settings.json under env. (The legacy GROK_CODE_XAI_API_KEY still works as a fallback.)

Output rules:

  • Present the parsed setup output as a short status block to the user.
  • If actionsTaken is non-empty (review gate was toggled, or a fallback model was persisted), surface that.
  • If nextSteps is non-empty, surface it.
  • If ready: true and no actions/steps, just confirm success.
  • If capabilities.ok is false, surface the missing flags and recommend grok update.

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.

setup is a command published in the GitHub repository LovelaceLoom/grok-plugin-cc (5 stars, last pushed 24d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 17 tokens to every session and 442 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 3 findings (downloads and executes remote code, reads agent configuration directories, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
