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

Wikis, answers, docs, and tasks, powered by your local agents.

Point Grok-Wiki at a repo or folder. It prepares the context, streams source-grounded progress, and hands every model call to the CLI you already sign into.

Cmd 1 through 5. Terminal included.

Your library lives on your machine

Wikis, answers, docs, and task runs save to a local library. Publishing to the public library is a deliberate click, never a default.

Model access stays with the CLI

Grok CLI, Codex CLI, Claude Code, Pi, and Antigravity authenticate through their own tools. Grok-Wiki never holds a key.

Telemetry has a payload boundary

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.

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.

Code Graph

Production-grade repository context.

As your codebase grows, every Ask, Wiki, and Docs run should stay simple. Code Graph is the missing layer that keeps rediscovery out of the critical path.

Agents are excellent at reasoning over code. The hard part is making them stop re-learning where everything lives. Code Graph gives each new run a reusable map of structure and source evidence, so the model you already chose spends effort on synthesis, not scavenger hunts.

A side-by-side of the costs people actually feel: discovery turns, where model budget goes, how many surfaces share context, and the first-run tax of indexing.

Without Code Graph · tradeoffs

  • Zero setup. Tiny repos and one-shot questions stay light.
  • Every serious run pays discovery again, including the third surface that needs the same map.
  • Evidence arrives late, so claims are harder to verify while the agent is still hunting.

With Code Graph · tradeoffs

  • First use of a repo spends a short indexing pass before the map is ready.
  • Later Ask, Wiki, and Docs runs spend far less on navigation and more on useful output.
  • Optional by design. Turn it off and Grok-Wiki returns to local exploration without deleting your work.

Turn it on when understanding the repository is the job.

Code Graph is optional repository intelligence, not another model. Keep it off for tiny or one-off questions. Enable it when rediscovery is the expensive part of Ask, Wiki, and Docs.

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.

Diogo Almeida (@CompleteSkeptic): After co-inventing ChatGPT, I kept asking myself: why have superhuman chat models not led to AGI?

I’ve spent the last 2 years in stealth building a new way to train models (RLCD), and a new type of frontier AI model that we are releasing today: Jev
