Skforecast plugin for Grok Build
Python library for time series forecasting using scikit-learn compatible models, statistical methods, and foundation models
How to install Skforecast in Grok Build
grok plugin install skforecast/skforecast --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. Then start a new Grok session, or press r in /plugins, to load it. Grok names it skforecast-78eb0f06 (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 17 skills. That's an install check only: we haven't run it in a live Grok session.
What it contains
Skills (17)
autocorrelation-and-lag-selection— Analyzes time series dynamics with the fast skforecast.stats functions acf, pacf and calculate_lag_autocorrelation. Covers reading ACF/PACF patterns to identify AR/MA orders and seasonality, ranking lags by partial autocorrelation, and feedbacktesting-configuration— Configures TimeSeriesFold parameters for backtesting based on deployment scenarios. Maps business requirements (retraining frequency, forecast horizon, data budget) to cross-validation strategy parameters. Use when the user describes how thbaseline-forecasting— Builds and evaluates simple baseline forecasts with ForecasterEquivalentDate (equivalent-date / seasonal-naive / moving-average) to benchmark machine learning models. Covers offset (int vs pandas DateOffset), n_offsets with agg_func, backtechoosing-a-forecaster— Guides selection of the appropriate skforecast forecaster based on the user's data characteristics and requirements. Provides a decision matrix mapping use cases to forecaster classes. Use when the user is unsure which forecaster to use orcomplete-api-reference— Provides complete constructor and method signatures for all skforecast forecasters, backtesting functions, search functions, cross-validation classes, preprocessing, feature selection, and drift detection. Use when the user needs exact paradeep-learning-forecasting— Forecasts time series using recurrent neural networks (RNN, LSTM, GRU) with ForecasterRnn and the create_and_compile_model helper. Covers model architecture, training, and multi-series deep learning. Use when the user wants to use deep leardrift-detection— Detects data drift in time series forecasting pipelines using RangeDriftDetector and PopulationDriftDetector. Covers range-based out-of-range detection and statistical distribution tests. Use when the user wants to monitor model reliabilityfeature-engineering— Creates features for time series forecasting: calendar features with skforecast's `CalendarFeatures` (cyclical, onehot, or spline encoding) — either delegated to the forecaster via the `calendar_features` parameter or built manually as exogfeature-selection— Selects the most relevant lags, window features, and exogenous variables using sklearn feature selectors (RFECV, SelectFromModel). Covers single-series and multi-series selection with force inclusion and subsampling. Use when the user has mforecasting-multiple-series— Forecasts multiple time series simultaneously using a global model with ForecasterRecursiveMultiSeries or ForecasterDirectMultiVariate. Covers data formats, encoding, per-series transformers, and multi-series backtesting. Use when the userforecasting-single-series— Forecasts a single time series using ForecasterRecursive or ForecasterDirect. Covers data preparation, model creation, training, prediction, backtesting, and prediction intervals. Use when the user needs to predict future values of one timefoundation-forecasting— Forecasts time series zero-shot with pre-trained foundation models (Amazon Chronos-2, Google TimesFM 2.5/3.0, Salesforce Moirai-2, Soda-INRIA TabICL, Prior Labs TabPFN-TS, The Forecasting Company T0, EDF Lab TS-ICL, Synthefy Nori) via Forechyperparameter-optimization— Optimizes forecaster hyperparameters using grid search, random search, or Bayesian search (Optuna). Covers single-series and multi-series search, cross-validation configuration, and search space definition. Use when the user wants to find tmetric-selection— Guides selection of the most appropriate evaluation metric(s) for a forecasting task based on forecaster type, prediction output type, data characteristics, and multi-series aggregation needs. Use when the user asks which metric to use, howprediction-intervals— Generates prediction intervals for time series forecasts using bootstrapping, conformal prediction, or built-in statistical model intervals. Covers interval configuration, residual management, and calibration. Use when the user needs uncertstatistical-models— Forecasts time series using classical statistical models (ARIMA, SARIMAX, ETS, ARAR) wrapped in ForecasterStats. Covers model selection, Auto-ARIMA, backtesting statistical models, and parameter tuning. Use when the user wants traditional stroubleshooting-common-errors— Diagnoses and fixes common errors when using skforecast, especially mistakes frequently made by LLMs generating skforecast code. Covers deprecated imports, wrong function names, missing parameters, and data format issues. Use when generated
