README
@pi-lab/grok-build
A pi extension that adds a single grok_build tool backed by the local Grok Build CLI.
The tool intentionally stays prompt-only: Grok Build is itself an agent, so pi gives it a natural-language task and lets Grok choose its own image, video, web, and X/Twitter capabilities.
Requirements
Install and authenticate Grok Build first.
Capability guidance
| Capability | Guidance |
|---|---|
| Image generation | ✅ Recommended |
| Image edit | ✅ Recommended |
| Video generation | ✅ Recommended |
| X/Twitter search | ✅ Recommended when Grok-native user, semantic, or advanced keyword search is useful |
| X/Twitter post/thread read | ✅ Use Grok Build for detailed context; use webfetch when faster, simpler output is enough |
| General web search | ⚠️ Available but not recommended; prefer other websearch tool |
| General web fetch | ⚠️ Available but not recommended; prefer other webfetch tool |
| Coding tasks | ❌ Not recommended |
Install
pi install npm:@pi-lab/grok-build
Usage
Ask pi for image or video generation, for example:
Use Grok Build to generate an image of a cyberpunk red panda mascot.
The tool accepts only one argument: prompt. Grok decides how to satisfy the request.
X/Twitter usage
grok_build can handle common X/Twitter requests in natural language:
Search X for recent reactions to the latest Grok Build release.
Read this X thread and summarize the main points: https://x.com/...
For X/Twitter links, Grok Build usually returns richer context such as replies, quoted posts, media details, views, and bookmarks. If you only need the text of a single post, webfetch is usually faster and simpler.
