A local, general-purpose **GrokBot-like CLI agent**. It observes the environment, chooses tools, adapts to results, and verifies its work. Uses your existing xAI/OpenAI-compatible model configuration; no separate search API key.
For action tasks the agent briefly explains its approach, then starts. Multi-stage tasks get a short live plan. You can add instructions while it works, answer a question, or interrupt and resume. Simple questions remain simple answers.
While running, enter additional instructions to steer the next step. **Ctrl-C** or **`/stop`** stops the turn and saves its state. In the REPL, `/plan` shows the current plan, `/session` shows its ID, and `/exit` or `/quit` exits when idle. During work `/exit` and `/quit` stop the current turn first. At an explicit question, new text answers that question. Already queued idle inputs remain separate tasks.
Progress, plans and questions go to stderr; final answers go to stdout. `grokboy chat` remains streaming chat without tools. `grokboy help` lists commands and settings.
Run `grokboy serve` in one terminal, then create identities with `grokboy agents create <name>` and open separate chats with `grokboy agent --name <name>`. Agents learn private memories and public expertise from their conversations. They can delegate to an existing agent or create a temporary worker while you keep chatting.
In named-agent mode, ordinary text is new chat. Use `/tasks` and `/task <id> say|stop|resume` to manage background work. Closing a chat leaves the service and its tasks running. Agent identity and task ownership are separate: one agent can help another without losing its own conversation.
See [team setup and behavior](docs/TEAM.md) for commands, budgets, privacy boundaries and recovery. `GROKBOY_DATA_DIR` defaults to `~/.grokboy/team`; existing single-session commands keep their original behavior.
Long commands return a session ID and incremental output; `write_stdin` polls, sends input, closes stdin or terminates the command. One foreground command at a time, piped I/O, default ten-minute deadline. Legacy `shell` retains its 30-second limit. Full command output is saved under `.grokboy-output/`; large tool results are also stored there with a readable preview and path.
`read_file` accepts a zero-based line `offset` and line `limit`; `search_files` searches names or literal content; `edit_file` requires one unique exact match. File tools and browser file exchange check workspace paths and symlinks. Shell is still a local-user command runner, not an OS sandbox.
Playwright operates through DOM selectors/roles and can read page text, select tabs/popups and target an iframe. Search uses the ordinary browser. Missing browser dependencies produce an install hint. Legacy sessions have their own profiles; named-agent tasks reuse their owner’s persistent profile with exclusive browser access. Cookies and local storage survive restarts; the agent re-observes the page before continuing.
For login, OTP or captcha, `browser_handoff` opens the visible browser and waits for you. For irreversible public actions, the agent follows the existing explicit-approval rule; plans themselves do not require approval.
Session stop reasons: `answer`, `done`, `blocked`, `budget_exhausted`, `failed`, `cancelled`. One-shot exits 0 for answer/done, 1 for blocked/budget/failed, 130 for cancellation. The REPL remains usable after any turn outcome. `done` is a model declaration supported by reported evidence, not an independent proof of arbitrary task correctness.
