Use the grok-build skill for coding orchestration
mainThe grok-build skill allows a coding assistant to act as an orchestrator that delegates implementation tasks to xAI's Grok Build CLI (grok). The assistant plans the work and writes task specifications, while Grok executes the tasks headlessly. The assistant then reviews the resulting diffs and owns the final outcome.
When to use Grok Build:
- Delegate to Grok: Tasks with clear acceptance criteria, boilerplate/scaffolding, CRUD operations, mechanical refactors, writing tests from specs, or UI components from mockups.
- Keep with the Orchestrator: Ambiguous requirements, architecture decisions, deep cross-file debugging, security-sensitive code, production infrastructure changes, or tasks where writing the spec is as difficult as doing the work.
Trigger phrases:
Use phrases like use grok, grok build, delegate to grok, have grok implement, have grok execute, have grok build, send to grok, or execute this plan with grok to activate this skill.
