Grok CLI

Drive CoAnimator with xAI's Grok agent, signed in with your Grok account.

Grok CLI is xAI's coding agent. It signs in with your Grok account and brings its own skills and MCP servers into the session.

Set it up

Install the CLI and sign in

Install the grok CLI, then:

grok login

CoAnimator looks for the binary on your PATH and in ~/.grok/bin/grok.

Pick it in the agent picker

Choose Grok Build CLI in the agent chooser and open a chat. CoAnimator runs it as an ACP agent (grok agent stdio) and renders the conversation as a chat tab. Approvals follow the session's permission settings.

Ask for a video

Point it at a project or ask it to create one. It reads the coa skill and the app's timeline and video-workflow docs, checks existing projects for branding to match, then builds the piece and renders it through the coa CLI.

Grok reading the coa CLI skill and CoAnimator's docs, then planning a 30-second product intro from existing brand references

To teach it the CLI up front, give it the coa skill: put SKILL.md in a coa-cli/ folder inside that agent's own skills directory.
