What is Grok Build? Link to heading
Grok Buildis a terminal-native AI coding harness built by xAI. It combines:
- A beautiful, keyboard-first, mouse-supporting fullscreen TUI
- A sophisticated agent runtime capable of understanding your entire codebase
- Tool use for file editing, shell execution, web search, git operations, and more
You can use it interactively, headlessly (grok -p "..."), or embed it via the Agent Client Protocol (ACP) in IDEs and other tools.
Key Features Link to heading
Plan Mode Link to heading
For complex tasks, start in plan mode. Grok proposes a structured approach, which you can review, comment on, rewrite, or approve step-by-step. Once approved, changes appear as clean diffs.
Parallel Subagents Link to heading
Delegate parts of large tasks to specialized subagents running in parallel — perfect for research, testing, refactoring, or exploration across different worktrees.
