How to install Open Steps in Grok Build

grok plugin install kharmanskyi/open-steps --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.

We install this repo directly: Grok Build 1.0.62 can't install it through its own marketplace file. Then start a new Grok session, or press r in /plugins, to load it.

Command format: Grok Build's plugin guide

What we checked: on Oct 18, 2026 it installed with grok 1.0.62 and Grok found 9 skills, 1 slash command. That's an install check only: we haven't run it in a live Grok session.
