Why Groking?

Most AI coding tools run in the cloud or inside an IDE. **Groking** runs where you already work — your terminal. It connects directly to xAI's Responses API, gives the model full access to your local filesystem and shell, and supports a real coding loop:

**Inspect → Edit → Run checks → Refine**

  • Multi-provider — xAI Grok, OpenAI, and Anthropic Claude behind one CLI (pick with --provider)
  • Live token streaming — model output renders as it arrives, not after the spinner finally stops
  • Patch-style refactoring — multi-file changes via unified diffs (apply_unified_patch)
  • Session continuity — pick up where you left off across terminal sessions, per-provider
  • Multi-agent parallelism — a planner breaks complex goals into isolated worker agents that run in parallel; merges use 3-way recovery to survive context drift
  • Zero config — just provide a key for your chosen provider and start coding
