NWave plugin for Grok Build
AI agents that guide you from idea to working code, with you in control at every step.
How to install NWave in Grok Build
1. Add this repo as a plugin marketplace in Grok Build (once per computer):
grok plugin marketplace add nWave-ai/nWave2. Install the plugin:
grok plugin install nw@nWave-ai/nWave --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.
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 nWave-ai/nWave, then select nw and press i.
