Features
Self-testing and verification
SpaceXAIOn longer trajectories, checks its own work before moving on.
Interactive and visual work
SpaceXAIStronger first passes on visual and interactive projects — structure and visual language in one pass.
Speed and efficiency
SpaceXAITwice as fast as comparable models at half the price, per the Grok 4.7 announcement.
Plan mode
SpaceXAIThe agent explores and drafts a plan before edits. Only the session plan file may be edited until you approve; bash is not gated. Auto and always-approve do not skip plan review. Enter with /plan or Shift+Tab; the agent can enter plan mode on its own. Reopen with /view-plan.
Subagents
SpaceXAIIndependent child sessions with their own context; they return a summary to the parent. Built-in types: general-purpose, explore (read/list/search only), and plan (no shell, no edits). Add types under .grok/agents/ or ~/.grok/agents/. Personas are behavioral overlays via /personas.
Skills
SpaceXAIReusable folders with markdown, scripts, and resources (SKILL.md). Discovered from ./.grok/skills/, ~/.grok/skills/, plugin skills/, and [skills] paths. User-invocable skills appear as /<skill-name>. Capture a session as a skill with /skillify.
Claude Code compatibility
SpaceXAIReads Claude Code marketplaces, plugins, skills, MCPs, agents, hooks, and instruction files (CLAUDE.md, Claude.md, CLAUDE.local.md, .claude/rules/) alongside .grok/ with no extra setup.
Hooks
SpaceXAIJSON hooks (command or HTTP) on lifecycle events. PreToolUse is the only blocking event (explicit deny, else fail-open). Personal ~/.grok/hooks/*.json; project .grok/hooks/*.json needs /hooks-trust or --trust. Also reads Claude Code and Cursor hook files.
AGENTS.md
SpaceXAILoads AGENTS.md, Agents.md, AGENT.md, CLAUDE.md, and *.md in .grok/rules/ (plus .claude/rules/ and .cursor/rules/) from repo root down to cwd; deeper files win. --rules appends session-only text. grok inspect lists loaded files.
Grok 4.6 in Cursor
