## What it is
An open-source terminal-based coding agent that connects to xAI's Grok API, built with TypeScript and Bun. It offers an interactive OpenTUI experience, headless prompt mode for scripts and CI, sub-agents, X/web search, and remote control via Telegram.

## Use cases
- run an AI coding agent in the terminal with Grok
- automate code tasks in CI with a headless AI agent
- refactor code from the command line using an LLM
- run test suites and summarize failures with an AI agent
- control a coding agent remotely from a phone via Telegram
- search X and the web from a terminal coding assistant

## When to choose
- you want a terminal-native coding agent powered by the Grok API
- you need headless/CI automation of coding tasks with JSON output
- you want sub-agents, X/web search, and Telegram remote control built in

## When to avoid
- you use Claude, GPT, or other non-Grok models exclusively
- you need a GUI-based coding assistant rather than a CLI
- you require an officially xAI-supported tool (this is community-built)
