Grok Build 0.2.29

0.2.28→0.2.29·June 13, 2026 at 4:58 AM UTC

Comprehensive documentation overhaul across all user guides, with extensive clarifications, restructured sections, and alignment to current tool names and behaviors.

Changelog

  • Comprehensive documentation overhaul across all user guides, with extensive clarifications, restructured sections, and alignment to current tool names and behaviors.
  • Many new slash commands now documented, including /sessions, /fork, /rewind, /copy, /export, /memory, /remember, /marketplace, /skills, /goal, /settings, /config-agents, /personas, /login, /logout, /usage, /privacy, and /cloud.
  • Keyboard shortcuts, configuration options, permission modes, sandbox profiles, and session management sections substantially revised with new bindings, fields, and workflows.
  • Authentication, MCP servers, skills, hooks, subagents, and plan mode guides updated with new details on flows, contracts, and troubleshooting.

Added

  • Documented new slash commands and aliases: /sessions, /fork, /rewind, /copy, /export, /memory (with on/off), /remember, /marketplace, /skills, /goal, /settings (aliases /config, /preferences, /prefs), /timestamps, /cloud, /login, /logout, /usage, /privacy, /config-agents (alias /agents), /personas, and /import-claude.
  • New keyboard shortcuts documented: Shift+Tab (cycle modes), Ctrl+G (background task), Ctrl+T (todos pane), Ctrl+B (tasks pane), Ctrl+L (extensions modal), Ctrl+R (prompt history search), ! (shell mode), Ctrl+., and F2 (settings).
  • New configuration keys and sections: [permission] rules (allow/deny/ask arrays), default_isolation and inputs/outputs under personas, GROK_DISABLE_AUTOUPDATER, expanded [memory.dream] and [compaction.*] fields, and extra_headers for models.
  • New sandbox profile devbox and advisory deny paths in sandbox.toml.
  • Documented the wait_commands_or_subagents tool and the capability_mode/isolation/resume_from parameters for subagents.

Changed

  • Tool names updated throughout the docs: grep_search → grep, bash → run_terminal_command, task → spawn_subagent.
  • Default for [tools] respect_gitignore changed to false; simple_mode now controls prompt editing (not scrollback); vim_mode is independent.
  • Authentication precedence reordered; token refresh behavior, OIDC scopes (api:access added), and external provider stderr handling clarified.
  • Many slash command behaviors updated (e.g., /always-approve and /yolo now toggle; /multiline uses Shift+Enter; /compact and /flush details revised).
  • Permission modes, dontAsk wiring via .claude/settings.json defaultMode, and PreToolUse hook enforcement emphasized.
  • Session storage layout, resume flags (-r/--resume vs. -s), and headless JSON error shape documented.

Fixed

  • Numerous documentation inaccuracies corrected around keybindings, auth flows, hook trust model, memory notifications, terminal OSC 52 handling, and plan approval UI.

Removed

  • Removed references to deprecated or consolidated commands (e.g., individual /hooks-* and /plugins-* subcommands now route through modals; some legacy aliases and flags no longer advertised).

Internal / under the hood

  • No other structural changes in this release.

Upgrade notes

  • Review the updated docs for renamed tools, new shortcuts, and revised defaults (especially respect_gitignore, permission wiring, and subagent isolation) before relying on prior behavior.
  • Existing sessions and configs remain compatible; new commands and modals are additive.
