wtf is grok-delegate?

grok-delegate is a plugin for Grok Build, the coding tool from xAI, that lets you hand off work to a locally installed Claude Code or Codex command line tool without leaving your Grok session. Instead of switching windows, you type a slash command like /delegate-claude or /delegate-codex and the plugin starts that other tool as a background task, showing progress right in Grok's task pane as it moves from starting to thinking to writing to completed. Both commands support the same five actions. Setup checks that the other CLI is installed and signed in. Overview maps out a repository's purpose and file layout. Review looks at your current changes for problems, and adversarial does the same review with a more skeptical eye. Rescue is the only action allowed to make changes, and it does so under careful limits by default. Safety is a clear focus. Read only actions like overview and review never touch your files. When Claude is asked to do a rescue, it only gets file editing tools such as Read, Edit, Write, Glob, and Grep, with no access to a shell unless you explicitly turn that on, since even a simple shell command could force push or delete work by accident. Codex runs its rescue actions inside a sandbox that allows writing to the workspace but keeps approvals off unless you opt in. Canceling a task stops the whole background process so nothing keeps running unseen. Behind the slash commands sits one long running companion script that starts the chosen CLI, streams its output back into Grok, and handles argument checking and process cleanup. Job state is kept in a private folder rather than a shared temporary directory. To use it you need Grok Build with plugins turned on, Node.js version 18 or newer, a Linux or Mac machine, and the Claude and Codex command line tools already installed and signed in on your own computer. It is released under the MIT license, so it can be freely used, copied, and modified as long as the copyright notice stays attached.
