Grok Build is Space XAI's new terminal-based AI coding agent, offering a fullscreen, interactive Text User Interface (TUI). It's designed to understand codebases, edit files, execute shell commands, perform web searches, and manage tasks. Users can interact with it directly, use it headlessly for scripting and CI, or embed it within editors via the Agent Client Protocol (ACP).

Installation is straightforward, with prebuilt binaries available for macOS, Linux, and Windows. For macOS and Linux, a simple curl command followed by bash executes the installation script. Windows users can utilize a similar PowerShell command. Users can verify their installation by running `grok --version`.

Building from source requires Rust and protoc. The project is structured into several crates, each handling specific functionalities like the TUI, agent runtime, tools, and workspace management. Development involves targeting specific crates for checks and tests to optimize build times. The first-party code is licensed under Apache License 2.0, with third-party and vendored code retaining their original licenses.
