Wow this is huge.
This most intelligent AI model on the planet just got an incredible new coding CLI.
Grok — the genius model from xAI sitting comfortably in #1 of several notable AI benchmarks.
Massive boost in speed and power in your software development.
Carry out massive context-aware tasks on your codebase with simple English right from your CLI:
Refactor functions or files
Edit project code based on coding standards
Generate shell scripts or bash commands
Automate git operations
Integrate with any MCP server
What took an hour of manual coding and debugging before → Now: a few minutes.
Just describe whatever you want and it takes care of the rest.
grok-cli is open-source and growing FAST with dozens of contributions already.
Conversational
Launch Grok CLI with the grok command:
Opens an interactive session
Remembers previous prompts
Lets you refine requests naturally — like a real-life conversation.
Context-aware
Grok CLI reads your project files — it knows what it’s editing.
Ask it to:
Change the logic in a file
Rename functions
Split code into modules
It works from actual source context — no guesses or hallucinations.
Shell and bash
Ask something like “compress all images in the assets folder” or “create a backup of the .env file” — Grok CLI will generate and run the correct commands — like zip.
Built-in
Grok CLI includes smart tools for file editing, git management, and navigation.
These tools run automatically when your prompt matches what they handle — giving you a clean interface without memorizing commands.
Project-specific instructions
By placing a .grok/GROK.md file in your repo, you can customize how Grok CLI behaves.
For example, you can specify preferred frameworks, coding standards, or architectural constraints.
This makes it ideal for team workflows and codebases with strict conventions.
