How to install grafana/skills in Grok Build
grok plugin install grafana/skills --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. This repo's marketplace has 7 plugins; we checked grafana-core. Install another the same way: grok plugin install <name>@grafana/skills --trust (names under 'What it contains'). Then start a new Grok session, or press r in /plugins, to load it. Grok names it skills-806febe8 (after its install folder), so that's the name to use with grok plugin uninstall.
Command format: Grok Build's plugin guide
What we checked: on Oct 18, 2026 it installed with grok 1.0.62 and Grok found 52 skills. That's an install check only: we haven't run it in a live Grok session.
