Plan Mode & Permissions
Grok asks before doing anything risky — and can plan before it codes.
Permissions
When Grok wants to run a risky command or edit a file, it pauses and asks: allow once, always allow that kind of action, or deny.
Reading is always free: file reads, searches, and safe read-only commands
(ls, git status, grep, …) never prompt. Chained commands are
checked piece by piece — ls && rm -rf tmp still prompts for the rm.
Trust the session? /always-approve (or Ctrl+O) skips the prompts.
Plan mode
For bigger or more ambiguous tasks, use plan mode: Grok explores the codebase read-only, designs an approach, and presents a plan you approve before any code is written.
Shift+Tab(prompt focused) cycles the mode: Normal → Plan → Always-approve./planenters plan mode directly;/plan <task>plans that task in one step.
When the plan is ready: a approves, c comments on a specific line,
s requests changes — Grok iterates until you're happy, then implements.
A good habit: plan mode for "how should we even do this?", normal mode for "just do it".
Long-running commands
A build or test run hogging the turn? Ctrl+B sends it to the
background — Grok keeps working and you're notified when it finishes
(Ctrl+G shows the tasks pane).
