@minchoi What @Daniel_Farinax said cannot be overstated. I’ve been maining Grok build for better and for worse (😅) for 3 weeks now. It’s above & beyond the best bang for your buck now with Composer 2.5. To add to that, I would highly recommend https://t.co/hNsd5Faxv7 by
Grok-Wiki - Repository wikis powered by local agents
Source: https://grok-wiki.com/ Episode 01 / Desktop film
What’s Grok-Wiki?
A short product film for the desktop loop: source-grounded repository context, local CLI agents, and model access that stays with you.
Local CLI-first desktop
Grok-Wiki prepares repository context, streams source-grounded progress, and lets the selected CLI account own model access.

Public wikis and docs stay browsable.
The real public library supports All, Wikis, Docs, search, sort, format, page length filters, and public reader routes.

Repository memory
The context stays close to the work.
Grok-Wiki turns old runs, source trails, and generated docs into a local workspace your agents can actually read.

Workflows
Generate, ask, and index repos.
Start a wiki, ask a question, or add a GitHub repo. Grok-Wiki keeps the run, sources, and selected local CLI in view.

Use Add Agent on a public Grok-Wiki page to point your selected local agent at the wiki’s source-backed context. Export the same pages as an Obsidian ZIP when you want the knowledge in your local vault.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about working with Grok-Wiki. Still have a question?Get in touch.
Why use Grok-Wiki instead of just Codex, Claude Code, Grok, or ChatGPT?Grok-Wiki is not trying to replace your agent. It prepares repository context, runs the local CLI agent you already use, then turns the investigation into source-grounded wikis, docs, Ask sessions, and public handoff pages. The agent does the work; Grok-Wiki gives it durable structure, citations, and a workspace other agents can read later.
Where is my data stored?The desktop app runs a local loopback server and stores data under the app data directory. Your local agent credentials stay with their own CLI tools. Public wiki pages are separate read-only copies that exist only when you publish them.
How does Grok-Wiki keep the wiki grounded in the source?Each run starts from the repository itself, builds a structure from the files it reads, and keeps source trails attached to generated pages and Ask answers. The result is easier to inspect than a chat transcript because the useful claims are packaged back into navigable docs.
Can Grok-Wiki do more than generate a wiki?Yes. It can generate repository wikis and docs, answer questions against source evidence, keep run history, publish read-only pages, expose agent-readable Markdown, and export Obsidian-ready ZIPs. The point is to turn one investigation into reusable repository memory instead of another throwaway chat.
Can Grok-Wiki work with private repos, local folders, or my own cloud?The desktop and CLI flows are designed for local-first work where your authenticated tools and filesystem own access. For hosted deployments, the architecture keeps storage and provider credentials configurable so teams can run with their own auth, database, and infrastructure choices as the product expands.
What happens when I publish a wiki?Publishing creates a separate read-only page that you can share with teammates, users, or other agents. It does not turn the original workspace into a public editing surface; regeneration, Ask, and app controls stay in your local or authenticated workspace.
Can another agent use a Grok-Wiki page after it is generated?Yes. Published wikis expose agent-readable context through the public page and Markdown surfaces, so an agent can start from the generated structure instead of rereading the repository from zero.
What kinds of repositories are a good fit?Grok-Wiki is most useful when the codebase has enough surface area that a README is not enough: architecture handoffs, onboarding, legacy systems, SDKs, CLIs, internal tools, and projects where source-backed explanations matter more than a quick summary.
