Internal helper contract for calling the grok-companion runtime from Claude Code or Codex. Reference when invoking the Grok companion script or the grok_search MCP tool.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Grok companion runtime
The Grok plugin wraps the local `grok` CLI's **headless mode** (`grok -p "<prompt>" --output-format json`). Grok manages its own session store under `~/.grok/sessions`, so the plugin does not run a separate server or broker.
Always invoke through the companion script so job tracking, prompt shaping, and tool filtering stay consistent:
```bash
node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/grok-companion.mjs" <subcommand> [flags] [text]
```
Or, for live search from any MCP-capable agent, call the `grok_search` tool (auto-wired when the plugin is installed; otherwise `npx -y grok-build-x-search-mcp`).
## When to use Grok (routing guidance for host agents)
| Need | Prefer |
| --- | --- |
| Live X sentiment, breaking news, "what are people saying" | `grok_search` / `/grok:search` |
| Current package/version/docs facts beyond training cutoff | `grok_search` / `/grok:search` |
| Second opinion code review on a diff | `/grok:review` |
| Substantial implement/debug pass with write access | `/grok:rescue` or `grok:grok-rescue` subagent |
| Trivial local edit the host can do in one step | **Do not** delegate — handle inline |

How to install
mdr add vasihemanth/grok-build-plugin/grok-runtime@sha256:b4ce7a339d80d16bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260711.00eb3c9, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
