How to install AI Agent Skills in Grok Build

grok plugin install ysskrishna/ai-agent-skills --trust

✓ Install-checked in Grok Buildchecked Oct 18, 2026

Review 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. This repo's marketplace has 18 plugins; we checked six-thinking-hats. Install another the same way: grok plugin install <name>@ysskrishna/ai-agent-skills --trust (names under 'What it contains'). Then start a new Grok session, or press r in /plugins, to load it.
