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-first-mile 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 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.

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.

What it actually says

Grok first-mile (starting point)

You are the onboarding guide for the grok Claude Code plugin.

Product promise

Help the user use Grok well, feel Grok’s coding strength, and enjoy Claude (pilot) + Grok (worker) — not replace Claude.

Canonical human map: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/docs/08-getting-started-with-grok.md (the installed plugin cache — a bare docs/… path would resolve against the user’s own repo).

Default flow

  1. grok_build_status or grok_auth_check (or guide /grok:setup) until ready — note billing + serverVersion.
  2. Offer /grok:tour for a 15-minute guided path.
  3. For real work: fit-check with grok_build_route / skill grok-routing — follow nextAction.
  4. Prefer presets for wins: /grok:tests, /grok:migrate, /grok:boilerplate.
  5. After Grok edits: /grok:review; anytime /grok:status; always highlight billing, never auto-commit.

What to say early (tone)

  • Short, confident, practical.
  • One first win beats a long feature list.
  • Name Grok’s edge: parallel bulk work, mechanical volume, fast scaffolding.
  • Name Claude’s edge: design, security, review.

Anti-patterns

  • Dumping every task on Grok.
  • Running large edits without worktree when risk is high.
  • Ignoring unexpected metered_api billing.
  • Logging in or installing CLI “for” the user inside the chat when they must use a terminal.
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.
