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.

This repo's marketplace has 16 plugins; we checked dotnet, dotnet-advanced, dotnet-data. Install another the same way: grok plugin install <name>@dotnet/skills --trust (names under 'What it contains'). Then start a new Grok session, or press r in /plugins, to load it.
