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.

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 | $0.00018 | $0.03667 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00009 | $0.01834 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00733 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00367 |
Grade C, and why
grok scanned grade C with 2 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 11d 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.

Grok Build CLI — Hermes Orchestration Guide
Delegate coding tasks to Grok Build (xAI's
autonomous coding agent CLI, the grok command) via the Hermes terminal. Grok
can read files, write code, run shell commands, spawn subagents, and manage git
workflows. It runs three ways: an interactive TUI, headless (-p), and as
an ACP agent over JSON-RPC.
This is the third sibling to codex and claude-code. The orchestration
pattern is nearly identical — prefer headless -p for one-shots, use a PTY
for interactive sessions.
When to use
- Building features
- Refactoring
- PR reviews
- Batch issue fixing
- Any task where you'd otherwise reach for Codex / Claude Code but want Grok
Prerequisites
- Install (preferred):
npm install -g @xai-official/grok- The official installer
curl -fsSL https://x.ai/cli/install.sh | bashalso works, but thex.aihost is Cloudflare-walled in some environments. The npm path avoids that dependency entirely.
- The official installer
- Auth — SuperGrok / X Premium+ subscription (primary path):
- Run
grok loginonce → opens a browser for OAuth → token cached in~/.grok/auth.json. This uses your SuperGrok or X Premium+ subscription (no per-token API billing). - Check sign-in state by looking for
~/.grok/auth.json, or run a cheap headless smoke test:grok --no-auto-update -p "Say ok." - In the TUI,
/logoutsigns out and/login(or relaunching) signs back in.
- Run
- No git repo required — unlike Codex, Grok runs fine outside a git directory (good for scratch/throwaway tasks).
- Claude Code / AGENTS.md compatible with zero config — Grok auto-reads
CLAUDE.md,.claude/(skills, agents, MCPs, hooks, rules), and theAGENTS.mdfamily. Existing project context just works.
API-key fallback (not the default for this user): Grok also supports setting the
XAI_API_KEYenvironment variable for pay-as-you-go billing viaapi.x.ai. Only use this ifgrok login/ SuperGrok auth is unavailable. The subscription path (grok login) is the intended setup here.
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 skill published in the GitHub repository aivrar/portable-hermes-agent (217 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 3,667 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). It is 100% identical to grok, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.

release-nyx
Ship a new nyx-local-ai release end to end — bump versions consistently, run the quality gates (typecheck, smoke tests, package), install locally, tag and push so CI publishes the installer artifacts. Use when the user asks to release, ship, publish, bump the version, or cut a new build of the extension.
nyx-ui-screenshots
Regenerate the README UI screenshots for nyx-local-ai from the browser harness — build the webview, serve the harness scenes, capture and crop the images into docs/. Use when the UI changed visibly, when the user asks to update screenshots, or before a release with UI changes.
ha-data-stores
Map of Hope Agent's local data stores and safe read-only query workflow. Use when the user asks where Hope Agent stores data, wants to inspect sessions/messages/memory/logs/background jobs/knowledge indexes/settings, asks the model to query local app data, or debugging requires checking persisted state.

Read and write email through the Atomic Mail from an AI agent. Handles proof-of-work authentication and JMAP so the agent thinks in JMAP method calls. Use when the user asks to register an email inbox, list mailboxes, fetch or send email.
travel-itinerary
Create, update, sanitize, route, and export structured business-trip itineraries from booking confirmations, emails, tickets, PDFs, screenshots, calendar invites, or notes. Use for day-by-day itinerary generation, privacy-safe sharing, route links, and Markdown/PDF/DOCX/Google Doc/ICS exports.
