How to install microsoft/skills in Grok Build

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

grok plugin marketplace add microsoft/skills

2. Install the plugin:

grok plugin install deep-wiki@microsoft/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.

This repo's marketplace has 13 plugins; we checked azure, azure-sdk-python, deep-wiki. Install another the same way: grok plugin install <name>@microsoft/skills --trust (names under 'What it contains'). 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 microsoft/skills, then select deep-wiki and press i.

Command format: Grok Build's plugin guide

Runs a local MCP server (with npx, uvx or similar), so that tool needs to be installed, for example Node.js for npx.

What we checked: on Oct 18, 2026 it installed with grok 1.0.62 and Grok found 101 skills, 13 slash commands, 1 subagent. That's an install check only: we haven't run it in a live Grok session.
