grok-build

grok-build is the official terminal-based AI coding agent published by the GitHub organization xai-org, with the README signed SpaceXAI. It offers an interactive terminal interface that reads code, edits files, runs shell commands, searches the web, and handles long tasks. It can also run headless in CI or connect to editors through ACP. It supports MCP, Skills, plugins, hooks, and a sandbox. It ships official release builds for macOS, Linux, and Windows that you can install and use right away.

Who it's for:Programmers who want to try xAI's coding agent in the terminal. It is of no use if you don't write code.

Before you start: Install the official binary or build from the Rust source; building from source on Windows is best-effort and untested, according to the project. AI Inspiration World does not recommend piping a remote install script into bash with curl or running it through PowerShell iex, because that runs a downloaded script directly on your computer. The first launch asks you to sign in through the browser. It can edit files and run commands, so check the working directory first and don't let it run freely in folders with important data. Code and conversations are processed by the official models, and the README does not state data retention or deletion rules for this repository. The README does not spell out free usage or pricing, so refer to the official site. License: the project's own code is Apache-2.0, while vendored third-party code such as Codex and OpenCode keeps its original licenses.
