Grok Build
Terminal coding agent that reads a codebase, edits files, runs shell commands and manages long tasks from a full-screen interface.
Open Source Alternative to:

Grok Build is a terminal-based AI coding agent published by SpaceXAI. It runs as a full-screen text interface that understands your codebase, edits files, executes shell commands, searches the web and manages long-running tasks, keeping the work in one window instead of spread across an editor, a browser and a chat client.
Three modes of operation are supported, interactive at the terminal, headless for scripting and continuous integration, and embedded in editors through the Agent Client Protocol. This repository carries the Rust source for the CLI and its agent runtime, synced periodically from the SpaceXAI monorepo, with a revision file recording the exact upstream commit for the tree you have.
The codebase splits into crates that map onto the parts of the agent.
- Pager: the terminal interface itself, covering scrollback, the prompt, modals and rendering.
- Shell: the agent runtime together with the leader, stdio and headless entry points.
- Tools: implementations for the terminal, file editing, search and the rest of the tool surface.
- Workspace: host filesystem access, version control, execution and checkpoints.
- Support crates: configuration, MCP, markdown and sandboxing complete the closure.
Prebuilt binaries are published for macOS, Linux and Windows through an install script. Building from source needs the pinned Rust toolchain, DotSlash on the path so hermetic tools can run, and protoc for proto codegen, with macOS and Linux as supported build hosts and Windows best-effort. The user guide that ships with the pager covers keyboard shortcuts, slash commands, theming, MCP servers, skills, plugins, hooks, headless mode and sandboxing.
