Grok Build 0.2.85

0.2.84→0.2.85·July 3, 2026 at 8:36 PM UTC

Patch release adding --plugin-dir support, marketplace additions, TUI configuration options, and documentation refinements for skills, plugins, and keyboard shortcuts.

Changelog

  • [new] --plugin-dir flag on grok agent for loading plugins for the current process only (repeatable; always trusted, with hooks and MCP servers activating without prompts).
  • [new] figma plugin added to the marketplace (11 skills + 1 MCP server for Figma integration, code connect, design generation, SwiftUI, motion, and related workflows).
  • [changed] Keyboard shortcut documentation now describes the "Send now" chord (formerly called Interject) with clearer behavior around queuing follow-ups, empty composers, and the queue pane.
  • [changed] Skills documentation expanded to cover legacy commands/ directories (now surfaced as slash commands), additional compatibility paths for Claude and Cursor, and updated discovery rules that ignore .gitignore under known skill roots.
  • [changed] Plugins documentation now covers _meta.pluginDirs (session-scoped) and --plugin-dir (process-scoped) trust semantics for the Agent SDKs.
  • [changed] New group_tool_verbs option under [tui] in configuration to fold consecutive read/search/list tool calls into a single row.
  • [removed] Bundled remove-wall-of-text skill.

Under the hood

  • Updated bundled implement skill to set disable-model-invocation: true.
  • axiom marketplace plugin received an MCP server addition and source revision bump.
  • Various completion scripts, docs, and bundled manifests updated for the new flag and documentation changes.
  • Internal version and metadata bumps.
