Update from any earlier build.

New

See your skills. A Skills tab lists every skill on your machine, the ones you
added and the 20-odd bundled with the Grok CLI, each with its own description. A
skill is a folder containing SKILL.md. Dropping it into ~/.grok/skills is the
entire install, and the tab says so.

Session actions where you actually are. Rename, Archive, Export and Delete
now sit behind a menu on each sidebar row, including search results.

Plugins & Skills has its own entry in the sidebar instead of being buried in
Settings.

Know who published a plugin. Cards now show the account it came from, like
github.com/xai-org. A marketplace name is a string anyone can set, including to
"xAI Official", so it is no longer styled as a credential. Nothing is marked
"verified", because Gronk has no way to know. You get the provenance and you
decide.

Fixed

  • A failed plugin install showed no reason. The error was set, then wiped by
    the refresh right behind it, so every failed install, enable, disable and
    uninstall reported a message that never reached the screen.
  • Search counted results it would not show. Archived sessions matched, got
    counted in the header, then vanished from the list underneath.
  • Search re-read your whole history on every keystroke, once per session. It
    now reads once per query.
  • Generated images were unreachable if you relocate the CLI with GROK_HOME.
    The app rebuilt the CLI's home by hand in two places and ignored the override,
    so it looked where the CLI was not writing.
  • A new session only appeared in the sidebar after its first reply finished,
    so the list claimed there were none while you sat in one.
  • Switching away mid-reply cut the turn off. The agent is now told to stop
    before its process closes.
  • Skill descriptions written in the usual multi-line YAML style are read
    properly instead of showing as a single >.

Which file do I want?

Platform File
Windows Gronk-0.1.5-windows-x64-setup.exe (installer) or -portable.exe
macOS Gronk-0.1.5-macos-universal.dmg, Apple Silicon and Intel
Linux Gronk-0.1.5-linux-x86_64.AppImage or -amd64.deb

Node.js is not required. You do need the Grok CLI and your own
Grok account.

These installers are unsigned

macOS will say the app is damaged. It is not. Right-click and choose Open,
then confirm. Double-clicking will not work until you have done that once.
Windows SmartScreen: More info, then Run anyway.

SHA256SUMS.txt verifies the download arrived intact. That checks integrity, not
authorship. Only signing does that.

Known limitations

  • Developed and tested on Windows. The macOS and Linux builds come from CI and
    have not been run by the author.
  • No automatic updates.
  • Conversations are stored on your machine as readable text. Do not paste secrets
    into a chat.
