rescue

rescue is a command for Claude Code from VasiHemanth/grok-build-plugin. It costs 16 tokens per session (539 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command that delegates a coding or investigation request to a Grok subagent, an additional AI worker. It can run the task in the foreground or background and may resume a previous task session.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to send a raw request to Grok, choose runtime controls such as read-only mode, and continue an earlier Grok task when available.
Why use it?
It lets another agent handle a bounded coding or research task while preserving options for waiting, background execution, or continuation.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: mentions subagents; names the AskUserQuestion tool; mentions Claude Code.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

rescue 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 6d 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

Invoke the grok:grok-rescue subagent via the Agent tool (subagent_type: "grok:grok-rescue"), forwarding the raw user request as the prompt. The final user-visible response must be Grok's output verbatim.

Raw user request: $ARGUMENTS

Execution mode:

  • If the request includes --background, run the grok:grok-rescue subagent in the background.
  • If the request includes --wait, run it in the foreground.
  • If neither flag is present, default to foreground for small bounded tasks, background for open-ended ones.
  • --background and --wait are Claude Code execution flags. Do not forward them as task text.
  • --model, --effort, --read-only are runtime controls. Preserve them but do not treat them as task text.
  • If the request includes --resume-last or --fresh, the user already chose; do not ask.
  • Otherwise, check for a resumable Grok task session for this repo:
node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/grok-companion.mjs" task-resume-candidate --json
  • If that reports available: true, use AskUserQuestion exactly once with these two choices:
    • Continue current Grok session
    • Start a new Grok session
  • If the user is clearly giving a follow-up ("continue", "keep going", "apply the top fix", "dig deeper"), put Continue current Grok session (Recommended) first; otherwise put Start a new Grok session (Recommended) first.
  • If the user chooses continue, add --resume-last before routing to the subagent. If they choose new, add --fresh.
  • If available: false, do not ask. Route normally.

Operating rules:

  • The subagent is a thin forwarder. Return its stdout verbatim. Do not paraphrase or add commentary.
  • If the companion reports Grok is missing or not logged in, stop and tell the user to run /grok:setup.
  • If the user gave no request, ask what Grok should do.

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.
