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.

Use it before using Grok to check installation and login status, optionally install the command-line tool, or change the stop-time review setting.

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.

Install

Getting it into your agent

This one installs as part of its plugin. Adding the marketplace and installing the plugin brings it with everything else the plugin ships.

Claude Code

/plugin marketplace add LovelaceLoom/grok-plugin-cc

Claude Code

/plugin install grok

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install grok, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 8 skills, 21 commands, 2 agents, 3 hooks.

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 5.1	$0.00017	$0.00442
Opus 5.5	$0.00007	$0.00177
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00003	$0.00088
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00044

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 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.

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

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:

Run !grok login and complete the browser OAuth flow.
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 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 17 tokens to every session and 442 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.

orchestrate

Do this task as an orchestrator. The aim is the same result at a fraction of the cost: in a long session, every token in this conversation is re-read on each later request, while a subagent's reading is discarded when it returns. The plugin's subagents run on Haiku 5.5, about 40× cheaper per token than Opus 5.5.
