What is grok-cli AGENTS.md?

Project instructions for AGENTS.md, a file that tells coding agents how to work in a repository, including commands, architecture notes, and known issues.

Use it to install dependencies, type-check, build, run the CLI, and understand known development or linting problems.

It gives an agent the project-specific commands and constraints needed to build, check, and run the code correctly.

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	$0.00467	$0.00467
Opus 5	$0.00234	$0.00234
Sonnet 5	$0.00093	$0.00093
Haiku 4.5	$0.00047	$0.00047

Security

Grade A, and why

grok-cli AGENTS.md 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 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.

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.

Overview

Grok CLI (@vibe-kit/grok-cli) is a single-package TypeScript CLI tool — no databases, Docker, or background services. See README.md for full documentation and usage.

Quick reference

Action	Command
Install deps	`bun install` (installs Husky; pre-commit runs Biome on staged files)
Typecheck	`bun run typecheck`
Build	`bun run build`
Run built CLI	`node dist/index.js`
Headless mode	`node dist/index.js --prompt "..." --max-tool-rounds N`
CLI help	`node dist/index.js --help`

Known issues

ESLint config is broken: The repo has .eslintrc.js (legacy format) but uses ESLint 9 (^9.31.0) + @typescript-eslint v8, which require flat config (eslint.config.js). Additionally, .eslintrc.js uses module.exports (CJS) but package.json has "type": "module" (ESM). Running bun run lint will fail. Use bun run typecheck as the primary code quality check (this is also what CI enforces).
Dev mode (bun run dev / bun run dev:node) fails at runtime: src/utils/model-config.ts imports TypeScript interfaces (UserSettings, ProjectSettings) as value imports from settings-manager.ts. These type-only exports are erased at runtime by Bun and tsx, causing SyntaxError: export '...' not found. The fix is to use import type syntax, but this is a pre-existing repo issue. Workaround: build first (bun run build), then run the compiled version (node dist/index.js).

Environment

Bun must be installed (not pre-installed on Cloud VMs). The update script handles this.
GROK_API_KEY environment variable is required for API calls. Set it as a secret.

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.
