Aegis plugin for Grok Build
Make AI coding agents architecture-aware: baseline-first, evidence-verified, drift-checked, and safe across long tasks.
How to install Aegis in Grok Build
grok plugin install GanyuanRan/Aegis --trustReview before you trust it. --trust lets this plugin's hooks, MCP servers and scripts run code on your computer. It's a community repo that neither xAI nor GrokStacks has reviewed, so read its code first.
We install this repo directly: Grok Build 1.0.62 can't install it through its own marketplace file. Then start a new Grok session, or press r in /plugins, to load it.
Command format: Grok Build's plugin guide
What we checked: on Oct 18, 2026 it installed with grok 1.0.62 and Grok found 26 skills, 3 slash commands. That's an install check only: we haven't run it in a live Grok session.
What it contains
Skills (25)
anti-entropy-governance— Use when touching retiring old logic, collapsing duplicate owners, removing fallbacks, or schema/persistence/source-of-truth boundaries; identify opportunities automatically; destructive execution requires explicit confirmation.brainstorming— Use when defining ambiguous or high-complexity new features, product behavior, UI/component design, architecture choices, contract changes, or when grilling/pressure-testing a plan or design. Routine small requests stay on the fast path.communicating-concisely— Use when the user asks for caveman mode, fewer tokens, brief responses, compressed communication, or otherwise explicitly requests a much shorter answer.dispatching-parallel-agents— Use when facing 2+ independent tasks without a written plan, with no conflicting shared mutable state or sequential dependencies, where parallel delegation beats inline cost; otherwise inline. Planned tasks use subagent-driven-development.establishing-project-context— Use when the user asks to establish shared project language, or project work exposes a conflicting, renamed, or deprecated domain term that needs active semantic modeling. Routine small tasks stay on the fast path.executing-plans— Use when executing a written implementation plan across sessions or with review checkpoints. Small or single-slice plans stay inline. For same-session independent tasks, use subagent-driven-development instead.finishing-a-development-branch— Use when verified work needs integration or cleanup of an existing task-created branch/worktree, or the user explicitly requests merge, PR, or branch lifecycle handling.first-principles-review— Use when asked for first-principles or Occam's-razor review, or when high-risk decisions involve competing constraints, fallback growth, duplicate owners, or architecture direction risk. Ordinary bug fixes stay on the fast path.goal-framing— Use when the user explicitly sets an Aegis goal with /aegis-goal, Aegis goal:, or asks to define goal, success evidence, stop condition, or task boundaries before work.long-task-continuation— Use when a task is multi-step, may span context resets or sessions, uses subagents, or risks losing state before completion.receiving-code-review— Use when receiving code review feedback before implementing suggestions, especially when feedback is unclear, risky, disputed, or technically questionable.recording-architecture-decisions— Use when the user asks to create, write, update, amend, supersede, or evaluate an ADR, architecture decision record, durable architecture decision, decision log, or baseline sync after architecture-changing work.requesting-code-review— Use when requesting independent code review, after implementation slices, before merging high-risk work, or when verification exposes evidence, baseline, architecture, compatibility, or retirement uncertainty.subagent-driven-development— Use when executing a written implementation plan with independent tasks in the current session where delegation beats inline coordination cost; otherwise inline. Ad-hoc 2+ tasks without a plan use dispatching-parallel-agents.systematic-debugging— Use when encountering a bug, test failure, or unexpected behavior, before proposing fixestest-driven-development— Use when the user explicitly requests strict or test-first TDD, or when the current conversation already contains an explicit `TDD Route: strict` decision from another Aegis workflow.ui-ux-governance— Use when designing, changing, or reviewing user-facing interfaces or interaction flows, including API changes that alter visible states or recovery. Backend-only work without user-facing effects stays on its existing route.update-aegis— Use when the user says `aegis:update`, asks to update or upgrade an installed Aegis method-pack, wants the latest Aegis version, or asks whether Aegis is current on this host.using-aegis— Use when starting a turn or checking Aegis skill routing.using-git-worktrees— Use when a coding task needs a concurrent checkout, unrelated dirty state blocks safe branch switching, or the user or repository explicitly requires a worktree.verification-before-completion— Use when about to claim work is complete, fixed, passing, verified, release-ready, or ready to commit, merge, publish, or hand off.writing-plans— Use when you have an approved spec or written requirements for a multi-step task that needs a durable plan document before touching code. Small, single-owner, or fast-path tasks do not need this skill.writing-skills— Use when creating new skills, editing existing skills, or verifying skills work before deploymentbrainstorm— Deprecated - use the aegis:brainstorming skill insteadexecute-plan— Deprecated - use the aegis:executing-plans skill instead
