grok-ultracode

Standing Claude Code ultracode for Grok Build CLI.

Grok already has the runtime: deterministic workflow scripts via the workflow tool and /workflows. This plugin is the missing /effort ultracode layer — on every substantive task the agent authors a workflow and launches it, instead of orchestrating turn by turn.

Not affiliated with xAI or Anthropic. Claude Code already has this natively; do not install this plugin there.

Install

Plugin (skill + /ultracode):

grok plugin install malakhov-dmitrii/grok-ultracode --trust

Enable it in /plugins if it stays off (Grok plugins start disabled). Then install the standing rule — plugins cannot write ~/.grok/rules/:

git clone https://github.com/malakhov-dmitrii/grok-ultracode.git
cd grok-ultracode
./scripts/install-rule.sh

No-plugin path (skill + rule into user dirs):

./scripts/install.sh

Requires a Grok Build that ships ~/.grok/bundled/skills/create-workflow/SKILL.md (the workflow dialect). Too-old builds will not run authored scripts.

Use

New Grok session:

/ultracode

Reply should be ULTRACODE ON. After that, bugfixes, reviews, migrations, and research become workflows. Watch /workflows. Stop with /ultracode off.

One-shot, no standing mode:

ultracode: audit src/routes for missing auth

or use a workflow to ….

What it is not

• Not a Grok harness patch. No native /effort ultracode flag exists; this is a skill + optional home rule.
• Not ultrawork / ralph. Those still use the model as orchestrator. Ultracode puts the loop in a script.
• Not cheap. Default agent_budget is 1024 (Grok's per-run maximum). Skip status questions and one-file answers; those stay in the conversation.

Layout

skills/ultracode/SKILL.md   # standing protocol + author/launch loop
rules/ultracode.md          # always-loaded opt-in pointer (copy to ~/.grok/rules)
plugin.json                 # Grok plugin manifest
.grok-plugin/               # marketplace index + manifest

Dialect and host API live in Grok Build itself (create-workflow bundled skill). This repo does not vendor that file.
