Jia-Ethan/grok-keysmith

Preview-first Grok Build instruction deployment with compat and hook isolation, durable recovery, and layered uninstall.

What it solves

grok-keysmith provides a way to inject custom instructions into the Grok Build AI programming tool. It allows users to modify the behavior of their local AI coding environment without altering the underlying software or exposing account credentials.

How it works

The tool functions as an installer that modifies the configuration for new Grok Build sessions. It follows a "preview-then-apply" workflow: users can run a dry-run to see exactly what changes will be made before committing to them. Once applied, the new instructions take effect in any subsequent chat sessions. The tool also provides a simple mechanism to uninstall or revert these changes back to the original state.

Who it’s for

This project is for users of Grok Build who want to customize or improve the model's performance and output consistency during coding tasks. It is designed for developers who are comfortable using command-line tools on macOS, Windows, or Linux.

Highlights

  • Preview mode allows users to verify configuration changes before they are written.
  • Non-destructive: does not modify the Grok software itself or access user keys.
  • Easy rollback: instructions can be removed or reverted at any time.
  • Proven performance: users have reported improved completion rates on coding tasks after applying custom instructions.

    Memory in Grok Build: xAI Adds Persistent Project Notes to Its Coding Agent

    xAI's Grok Build now has memory: after every completed turn it writes durable notes on conventions, decisions, and project facts, then reads the relevant notes in later sessions, with /memory to browse and /dream to organize them into topic files.
