How to install Ginkgo in Grok Build

1. Add this repo as a plugin marketplace in Grok Build (once per computer):

grok plugin marketplace add onsi/ginkgo

2. Install the plugin:

grok plugin install ginkgo@onsi/ginkgo --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.

Then start a new Grok session, or press r in /plugins, to load it.

Inside Grok Build: type /plugins, open the Marketplace tab, press a and add onsi/ginkgo, then select ginkgo and press i.

What we checked: on Oct 18, 2026 it installed with grok 1.0.62 and Grok found 13 skills. That's an install check only: we haven't run it in a live Grok session.

What it contains

Skills (13)

  • ci — Configure Ginkgo for continuous integration — the recommended CLI flag set and the rationale for each flag (-r -p --randomize-all --randomize-suites --fail-on-pending --fail-on-empty --keep-going --cover --race --trace --json-report --timeo
  • debugging-failures — Diagnose a failing Ginkgo suite as an agent — always run with --json-report into a predictable temp/gitignored location, read the terminal verdict line, then use jq to extract structured failure details (name, message, file:line, panic valu
  • decorators — One-line reference for every Ginkgo decorator, grouped by what it does, with the node types each can decorate — Serial, Ordered, ContinueOnFailure, OncePerOrdered, Label, Focus, Pending, FlakeAttempts, MustPassRepeatedly, NodeTimeout, SpecT
  • filtering — Run a subset of a Ginkgo suite — Pending/PIt/XIt, runtime Skip, programmatic Focus/FIt (and ginkgo unfocus), Label with the --label-filter query language and label sets, suite-level labels, SemVerConstraint/--sem-ver-filter, --focus/--skip
  • ordering-and-flakes — Control spec ordering and manage flaky specs — Serial, Ordered containers with BeforeAll/AfterAll/ContinueOnFailure, OncePerOrdered, SpecPriority, plus FlakeAttempts/--flake-attempts, MustPassRepeatedly, --repeat, and --until-it-fails. Use
  • overview — The Ginkgo mental model for writing Go tests — the one idea that explains everything (Ginkgo builds a spec tree at construction time, then runs it) and its consequences for how you write specs, plus spec independence and the node taxonomy.
  • parallelism — Run Ginkgo suites in parallel — ginkgo -p / --procs, the separate-process (not goroutine) model, SynchronizedBeforeSuite/SynchronizedAfterSuite vs BeforeSuite, GinkgoParallelProcess() for sharding ports/tmpdirs/databases, building a binary
  • reporting — Generate, consume, and enrich Ginkgo reports — console verbosity (-v/-vv/--trace/--no-color/--succinct), machine-readable reports (--json-report/--junit-report with --output-dir/--keep-separate-reports), programmatic reporting nodes (Report
  • running — Run Ginkgo suites with the ginkgo CLI — run, -r, -p, --dry-run, watch, build (precompiled .test binaries), generate, outline, unfocus, labels, version; spec randomization (--randomize-all/--randomize-suites/--seed); running multiple suites
  • setup — Wire Ginkgo into a Go package — install the ginkgo CLI and Ginkgo+Gomega, ginkgo bootstrap to generate the suite_test.go (TestXxx/RegisterFailHandler(Fail)/RunSpecs), the package xxx_test convention, dot-import alternatives (aliased import,
  • tables-and-dynamic-specs — Parameterize and generate Ginkgo specs — DescribeTable/Entry table-driven specs, Entry descriptions (string, nil, closure, EntryDescription), PEntry/FEntry and per-Entry decorators, DescribeTableSubtree, generating specs in a construction-t
  • timeouts-and-async — Make Ginkgo specs interruptible and test asynchronous behavior — SpecContext/context.Context cancellable nodes, NodeTimeout/SpecTimeout/GracePeriod, the --timeout flag, Abort and SIGINT behavior, Gomega Eventually/Consistently (the func(g G
  • writing-specs — Author good Ginkgo specs — container nodes (Describe/Context/When), subject nodes (It/Specify), setup/cleanup nodes (BeforeEach, JustBeforeEach, AfterEach, DeferCleanup, BeforeSuite/AfterSuite), the "declare in container, initialize in Befo
