grok-coding-agent

grok-coding-agent is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from patrick-fu/awesome-skills. It costs 29 tokens per session (964 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for running the Grok Build command-line tool as an external coding executor. It covers selecting the tool, checking its available options, launching it in the right repository, and monitoring the work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when the user explicitly chooses Grok to perform coding work in a repository.
Why use it?
It sets boundaries for when and how another coding agent may be used, reducing mistakes with commands, models, permissions, or long-running tasks.

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

grok-coding-agent 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.

Grok Coding Agent

Use Grok Build CLI only after the user or active workflow explicitly selects it as the external executor.

Minimal Workflow

  1. Set <launcher> to grok, its absolute path, or a user-provided Grok wrapper. Do not substitute the generic agent alias. Preserve a provided wrapper; it may inject model, authentication, or permission settings, including bypass permissions. Treat wrappers as opaque: discover their contract only by invoking <launcher> --version or <launcher> --help; do not run inspection commands that may print an alias or function definition, open or print wrapper source, or dump its environment because it may contain credentials.
  2. Run <launcher> --help before composing version-sensitive flags. Use model listing or subcommand help only when needed.
  3. Choose the model and thinking effort deliberately, following the guidance below and the choices currently exposed by the launcher.
  4. Use monitor mode by default for any task that may take time. Use final mode only when the task is clearly trivial and short.
  5. Run from the intended repository or workspace, pass a bounded task contract, and wait for the external process to finish.
  6. Inspect the resulting diff, tests, and final answer before claiming success.

Model and Effort

Honor explicit model or effort choices. Otherwise inspect current help and the current account's model list before launching:

  • For routine, bounded work, prefer a balanced model and moderate effort.
  • For deep review, ambiguous debugging, cross-module design, or other high-risk work, prefer a frontier model and high or maximum supported effort.
  • Use the highest tier only when its quality benefit justifies the extra latency or cost, and after checking whether that tier has additional behavior.

Do not hardcode model names or effort levels from this skill; the launcher's current help and model list are authoritative.

Monitor Mode (Default)

When current help exposes streaming-messages-json, use it without requesting partial messages and select the sandbox for the task:

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-coding-agent is a skill published in the GitHub repository patrick-fu/awesome-skills (57 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 964 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-30.
