fix(grok): populate the skill catalog from grok inspect - #7919
Conversation
Grok provider snapshots always shipped an empty skills array, so the composer $ picker showed nothing even when ~/.grok/skills, bundled skills, and plugin skills were on disk. After a successful version probe, run grok inspect --json and map the CLI's resolved catalog onto the snapshot. The / picker already includes enabled skills, so both menus populate from the same list. Asking the CLI is the correct mechanism: a disk scan of ~/.grok/skills misses plugin skills and ignores Grok's own disable/ignore config. Discovery is best-effort. Timeout, a missing inspect command, or malformed JSON yields an empty list and never degrades probe status. The inspect spawn uses ServerConfig.cwd so project-scope skills are included. Parsing strips a UTF-8 BOM and warning preamble so Windows CLI output maps. Fixes pingdotgg#4109

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR adds best-effort Grok skill discovery in the configured workspace so existing pickers can display the catalog; discovery failures leave provider health unchanged and return no skills. It is mergeable with owner awareness that failure-path tests and the required Markdown formatting check still need completion, while workspace-controlled catalog output should remain within the intended trust boundary.

Try each possible JSON object start so warning text containing braces cannot hide the schema-valid inspect envelope.

What Changed
Grok provider snapshots now include the CLI skill catalog, so the composer
$picker (and skill rows in/) list Grok skills on web, desktop, and mobile.After a successful
grok --versionprobe,checkGrokProviderStatusrunsgrok inspect --jsonand mapsskills[]ontoServerProvider.skills. The driver passesServerConfig.cwdso project-scope skills under.grok/skillsare included. ACP model discovery uses that same cwd.Parsing is schema-validated and Windows-safe: Effect Schema decodes the inspect envelope and each skill entry after a UTF-8 BOM or warning preamble is stripped.
userInvocable: falsemaps toenabled: false(pickers already filter onenabled). Duplicate names keep the first inspect entry, matching Grok's own precedence. Failures are best-effort: timeout, missinginspect, non-zero exit, malformed JSON, or invalid entries yield[]or skip only the bad entry and do not change probe status.No client, contract, or ACP runtime change. The pickers already render
snapshot.skills.Fixes #4109.
Why
This is a snapshot gap, not a missing skill directory. On a machine with Grok CLI 1.0.5,
grok inspect --jsonreports user skills from~/.grok/skillsplus bundled skills, while~/.t3/caches/grok.jsonhas"skills": []. Codex on the same install lists its catalog because it asks the CLI. Grok never did.Earlier attempts:
availableCommandsbut coupled OpenCode and the shared ACP session runtime, and mapped path-less commands.acp://path, so/compactwould appear as a skill.~/.grok/installed-plugins/.inspect). This PR keeps that design, adds BOM/preamble parsing, first-wins dedupe, cwd on the ACP probe, and replaces#!/bin/shprovider-status stubs so the tests run on Windows.A flat scan of
~/.grok/skillscannot see plugin skills and ignores Grok's disable/ignore config.inspectis the catalog Grok itself resolved.UI Changes
No new UI. Existing
$and/pickers start receiving Grok skills.Before
Grok thread
$showed no skills;/had no Grok skill rows.After
Grok's resolved CLI catalog now appears in the existing skill picker, with non-invocable skills hidden.
Verified with 19 focused unit tests and a real Grok 1.0.5
grok inspect --jsoncatalog from this checkout (25 user + 20 bundled + 4 project skills on Windows).Checklist
Note
Medium Risk
Adds a new CLI spawn (
grok inspect) during provider health checks and threadsServerConfig.cwdinto both skill and ACP probes. Failures fail open to an empty catalog and do not change probe status.Overview
