grk-cli 0.2.3

CLI tool to call Grok LLM

grk

Use GROK API in the terminal, control input, output and profiles.

Features

• Prompt grok using a combination of file(s) and prompt.
• Have profiles to use different grok assistants in the same project.
• Precisely control which files go into grok (contrast with agents).

Installation

Install with uv:

uv pip install https://github.com/wr1/grk.git

Configuration

You can create a .grkrc YAML file in the current directory to set default options. It now supports multiple profiles.

profiles:
    default:
        model: grok-code-fast-1
        role: expert engineer and dev
        output: output.json
        prompt_prepend: " "
        temperature: 0.1  
    law:
        model: grok-4
        role: lawyer, expert legal scholar
        output: output.json
        prompt_prepend: ""
        temperature: 0.15
    docs:
        model: grok-4
        role: documentation-specialist
        output: output.json
        prompt_prepend: "aim for conciseness and documenting use over implementation, "
        temperature: 0.7  
brief:
    file: "design_brief.typ"
    role: "assistant"

Usage

Quick start

Using shorthand for fish shell.

# write project brief
echo "write a 3d finite element solver using hex8 elements, use it to model a cube with 10x10x10 elements where x,y,z span range [0,1], clamp z==0 and apply unit distributed surface stress in positive z direction at z==1, output a vtu file where stresses and displacements are added as point data to the mesh, use numpy operations for speed and a logger to print progress to stdout, use user [{name="test",email="[e-mail]"}]" > README.md

# fold the project
cf 

# start session
gu codefold.json

# ask to implement
gm "please implement according to README" -o __temp.json

# unfold and install
cu __temp.json ; uv pip install -e . 

# close session
gd

# run code
hex-fem
# INFO:hex_fem.fem:Generating mesh
# INFO:hex_fem.fem:Assembling stiffness
# INFO:hex_fem.fem:Assembling forces
# INFO:hex_fem.fem:Solving system
# INFO:hex_fem.fem:Computing stresses
# INFO:hex_fem.fem:Writing output

Single-Shot (One-Off) Commands

grk config init
grk config list
grk single run <input_file> <prompt> [-p <profile>]  # Note: -p is the short form for --profile

Interactive (Session-Based) Commands

grk session up <initial_file> [-p <profile>]
grk session msg <prompt> [-o <output>] [-i <input_file>]
grk session list
grk session down

In session mode, responses are postprocessed: any explanatory messages are printed to the console, and the output file is cleaned to ensure valid JSON in {'files': [...]} format (if possible).

All settings are governed by the specified profile in .grkrc. If no .grkrc exists, it uses the default profile.

Environment Variables
