configuring-grove

configuring-grove is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from bearlike/Grove. It costs 122 tokens per session (7,024 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

Configuration guidance for Grove, a terminal workspace manager that gives each AI coding agent its own Git worktree and tmux session. It covers settings for a user, computer, or project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Setting up project initialization, agents, containers, tmux and peek behavior, themes, authentication, notifications, and ticket providers.
Why use it?
It helps place each setting in the correct configuration file and avoid invalid options that Grove rejects. It also keeps shared project settings separate from machine-specific settings and secrets.

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 B, and why

configuring-grove scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 5d 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.

Configuring Grove

Grove is a terminal workspace manager for AI coding agents. Each Grove workspace is one git worktree plus one tmux session running an agent, scoped to the repository it is launched from. This skill helps you configure Grove correctly for a user, both at the host/user level and per project.

Your job: find out what the user wants, decide which config layer it belongs in, write valid JSON, and verify it against the version of Grove they actually have installed. Do not guess. Grove validates strictly and rejects unknown keys, so a wrong field is a hard error, not a silent no-op.

What people use this for

Common requests, and how to handle them:

  • "Set this repo up so every workspace is ready to code." Configure a project init_script (committed in <repo>/.grove/config.json) that installs dependencies and prepares the tree, for example uv sync, npm ci, or make bootstrap. It runs in its own tmux window before the agent starts.
  • "Handle my secrets properly." Never put secret values in the committed project config; it is meant to be shared. Reference environment variables instead (the user sets them in their shell or a gitignored .env), keep machine-specific values in the gitignored project-local config (<repo>/.grove/config.local.json), and let the init script wire secrets up, for example cp .env.example .env. agents[].env and init scripts can read env vars; keep the literal secrets out of anything committed.
  • "Make test, deploy, or scratch directories for each workspace." Put the mkdir, fixture seeding, mock-data setup, or deploy scaffolding in the init_script, so every new worktree starts in the right shape.
  • "Bring my MCP servers into each workspace." A Grove workspace is a real git worktree, so any file committed at the repo root is already present inside it.
    • Claude Code reads project MCP servers from a committed .mcp.json at the repo root, so committing that file gives every workspace and teammate the same servers. Reference secret tokens via env vars there; do not hardcode them.
    • Codex reads ~/.codex/config.toml (global, so it already applies to every workspace) or a project .codex/config.toml with [mcp_servers.<name>] tables. Commit the project file, or have the init script copy or symlink the user's config into the new worktree.
    • For any MCP config that is gitignored or lives only in the home directory, the init script is the place to copy or symlink it into the workspace.

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.
