SpaceXAI open-sources Grok Build coding agent and TUI
SpaceXAI has open-sourced Grok Build, its coding agent and terminal UI; the source is now available on GitHub. The repository exposes the agent loop (context assembly, response parsing, tool-call dispatch), tools for reading/editing/searching code and running commands, the terminal UI, and the extension system (skills, plugins, hooks, MCP servers, subagents), and can be compiled to run fully local-first with a local inference backend via config.toml.
KEY POINTS
- SpaceXAI has open-sourced Grok Build, its coding agent and terminal UI; the source is now available on GitHub.
- The repository exposes the agent loop (context assembly, response parsing, tool-call dispatch), tools for reading/editing/searching code and running commands, the terminal UI, and the extension system (skills, plugins, hooks, MCP servers, subagents), and can be compiled to run fully local-first with a local inference backend via config.toml.
- Open-sourcing the agent harness gives developers a definitive reference for how the agent assembles context, invokes tools, and can be extended or run locally, lowering barriers to experimentation and auditing.
