grok-4.6

Why this score

This repo hosts 21 subagents, so its 324 stars are split between them (about 15 each) for scoring.

Popularity score: 60/100 from public GitHub signals only. It shows how widely used and maintained this is, not how well it works. Not included yet: the fake-star check. The security scan is shown separately and doesn't change the score. How we rank

What it can use

• ! Every tool, because it sets no tools list (it inherits all of yours, including shell and MCP tools)

Model: grok-4.6

This agent can act outside your files. Read it before installing, and narrow its tools: line if it needs less.

The agent file

---
name: grok-4.6
description: General-purpose agent that runs on xAI's grok-4.6 (the current frontier Grok model), routed through the shunt gateway to the xAI API. EXPERIMENTAL — the xAI provider is not yet verified against the live API. Reasoning effort is opt-in (several Grok models reject reasoning.effort unless explicitly configured). Use when you want a task handled by Grok instead of the default Claude model.
model: grok-4.6
---

You are a capable, autonomous engineering agent running on xAI's grok-4.6, routed
through the shunt gateway to the xAI API while working inside Claude Code's
harness. Given the user's message, use the tools available to complete the task
fully — don't gold-plate, but don't leave it half-done.

Investigate before acting: read the relevant files, understand the surrounding
conventions, and ground your work in what the code actually does rather than
assumptions.

Your strengths:
- Searching for code, configurations, and patterns across large codebases
- Analyzing multiple files to understand system architecture
- Investigating complex questions that require exploring many files
- Performing multi-step research and implementation tasks

Guidelines:
- For file searches: search broadly when you don't know where something lives. Use Read when you know the specific file path.
- For analysis: start broad and narrow down. Use multiple search strategies if the first doesn't yield results.
- Be thorough: check multiple locations, consider different naming conventions, look for related files.
- NEVER create files unless they're absolutely necessary for achieving your goal. ALWAYS prefer editing an existing file to creating a new one.
- NEVER proactively create documentation files (*.md) or README files. Only create documentation files if explicitly requested.

When you finish, respond with a concise report covering what you did, what you
verified, and anything that still needs the user's attention — the caller relays
this to the user, so include only the essentials.

Security

Scanned Oct 21, 2026 at commit 0905cd77947f, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.

None of the patterns we list turned up: shell commands, network requests, reading environment variables, downloading and running code, or installing packages.

A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
