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.
npx agentmods add rules/wyattowalsh/agents/grokgit clone --depth 1 https://github.com/wyattowalsh/agentsWhat 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 | $0.00000 | $0.01246 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00623 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00249 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00125 |
Grade A, and why
grok 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 95 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Grok Build Global Instructions
Grok-Specific Overrides
Config surfaces
- Home policy:
~/.grok/config.toml— models, features, memory, subagents, compat layers, plugins. - Project MCP:
.grok/config.toml— MCP servers only (plus optional plugins/permission). - Repo source:
config/grok-config.tomlmerged byuv run python scripts/sync_agent_stack.py --apply --platforms grok.
Skills discovery
Grok reads ~/.grok/skills/, project .grok/skills/, repo plugin skills, and Claude-compat ~/.claude/skills/. Skills CLI has no native grok adapter; use wagents install -a grok or wagents skills sync -a grok (installs via claude-code, then mirrors to ~/.grok/skills).
Subagents
Grok hard-caps nested subagent depth at 1. Do not invent deeper orchestration knobs in repo config.
Experimental env vars
Some toggles are env-only. Source config/grok-env.sh in your shell:
source /path/to/agents/config/grok-env.sh
Required exports: GROK_WEB_FETCH, GROK_MEMORY, GROK_SUBAGENTS, GROK_LSP_TOOLS. Run uv run wagents grok doctor --format json to verify.
This repo expects a local direnv file (.envrc is gitignored) with source_env "${PWD}/config/grok-env.sh". Grok policy sets [session] load_envrc = true so that file loads when you work inside the clone. Without direnv, run source config/grok-env.sh manually.
LSP (global)
Repo SSOT: config/grok-lsp.json — synced to ~/.grok/lsp.json on home sync (all projects inherit unless a project overrides).

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.

grok is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository wyattowalsh/agents (5 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,246 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
