Little-known features & functions
The moves that separate casual use from SuperGrok Heavy mastery — CLI, web, Imagine, and deploy.
Browser and Bot — what is actually new
- Browser Automations — schedule for everyone, email triggers on SuperGrok,
@a connector so every run uses it. - Connector catalog now covers Workspace, Microsoft 365, GitHub, Linear, Notion, Salesforce, Vercel, plus your own MCP server.
- Grok Bot — one shared cloud computer, a screen per Bot, skills then routines, Teach a task, voice chat and voice memos, drafts before send.
- Team Bots (Teams and Enterprise beta) share context and credentials. Conversations stay per person.
- Build stable 1.0.46: memory GA, workflows on by default,
/autovs/always-approve,/deep-research, themes, MCP token files re-read every request. Grok 4.7 Fast is inside Build only.
CLI / PowerShell — underused powers
| Feature | Why it is quiet | How to use it |
|---|---|---|
| grok inspect | Not in the marketing hero | See which skills, hooks, MCP, and AGENTS.md actually loaded |
| /skillify | Buried in advanced workflows | Turn a winning session into a reusable skill for the team |
| /marketplace | Easy to ignore | Install community/official skills & plugins instead of reinventing |
| Worktree subagents | Sounds abstract | Parallel experiments without dirtying main; merge the winner |
| Headless -p | Developers stay in TUI | CI autofix, scheduled chores, PR bots |
| CLAUDE.md compatibility | Migration detail | Drop into a Claude Code repo and keep instruction files |
| ACP | Platform-y | Build custom orchestrators / internal bots on the agent protocol |
| Hooks | Config-heavy | Enforce formatters, secret scanning, allowlists on tool use |
| Shift+Tab modes | Keyboard folklore | Cycle Normal / Plan / Auto-approve without typing |
| /feedback | Overlooked | Route bugs during beta with session context |
PowerShell: inspect + headless combo
grok inspect
grok -p "Only touch tests. Fix failing unit tests. Stop when npm test is green."Design-related secrets
- Custom /design skill in
~/.grok/skills/designbeats re-explaining taste every time. - “Do not implement yet” is a first-class move — you want the artifact.
- Concentric radii + freeze palette in the skill text prevents 90% of generic UI.
- Demand production-build verification, not only dev HMR screenshots.
Web Build Mode — quiet superpowers
- Browser QA loop — ask it to screenshot, read the image, and fix overflow/console errors.
- Mobile viewport checks — require ~390px validation.
- Skill steering — “strict design-ui, no purple, Lucide only” dramatically changes output.
- Parallel asset + code — sprites, maps, and systems in one build when you state the full product.
- Auth is real in preview — test sign-in paths properly instead of mocking users.
- Export then Hostinger — web for speed, your host for ownership (see websites).
Imagine & video — quiet superpowers
- One ref per concern beats seven redundant selfies.
- End-frame as next ref creates true progressive stories.
- Voice pack reuse is as important as face lock for series.
- Still → I2V when composition is hard; T2V when exploring.
- 6s shot discipline — editors will thank you.
- 1080p finals / 720p drafts — save quota while iterating.
Hostinger Cloud Startup — quiet superpowers
- Dedicated IPv4 — point the A record at it; never leave a leftover shared IP from a Business Pro migration
- On-demand backups before every deploy (plus daily automatic)
- Staging → production push as a habit
- LSCache + CDN + ObjectCache triad
- 10 managed Node web apps when static public_html is not enough
- 100 PHP workers + PHP version pin for Woo/builders
- Traffic power boost the week of a launch
- SSH/rsync instead of FTP spaghetti
- Cron for sitemap / cache warm
- Access sharing for clients — never share admin passwords in chat
- Email DNS (SPF against the dedicated IP + DKIM/DMARC) fixed once, forever
Combo moves (where Heavy feels unfair)
- /design skill → Web Build landing page → Hostinger Cloud Startup (dedicated IP + CDN) in one afternoon.
- Character bible → game sprites → Imagine Video trailer with same face + voice.
- CLI worktree subagents: one agent on API, one on UI, one on tests.
/skillifyyour studio’s brand kit; every future project inherits it.- Headless nightly: dependency bump + test repair PR.
Power move
The ultimate Heavy move is not one feature — it is systems: skills, refs, shot lists, staging, and verification checklists. The model is the engine; your process is the chassis.
Stay sharp
/yolopersists — do not leave it on in production repos.- Never paste production secrets into casual chat logs.
- Beta surfaces change; re-run
