Release Notes

Grok Build 1.0.9

• /feedback supports attaching images such as screenshots
• The / slash menu is ordered by recency and groups skills below commands
• /workflow accepts --agent-budget N or an agent_budget JSON field to set child-agent limits
• /workflow accepts --effort LEVEL or an effort JSON field to set child reasoning effort
• MCP servers receive a grok-cli User-Agent header so providers can attribute traffic
• Dashboard lets you start new agents in Auto mode via Shift+Tab
• Workflows appear alongside skills in the model prompt so the agent can launch them by name
• /edit-prompt opens an external editor from the full TUI, not only minimal mode
• Up arrow on an empty prompt selects queued follow-ups first instead of opening history
• /plugin works as an alias for /plugins in the TUI
• Plugin-provided agents appear in the /agents modal and can be toggled
• /minimal and /fullscreen switch instantly inside the running session without restarting or losing the current turn
• The configurable status line row appears at the bottom of minimal mode as well as fullscreen
• grok clone fetches only the selected branch tip by default, with --full-history for legacy full clones
• grok clone can reuse a matching local checkout as a linked worktree instead of always fetching from the network
• Subagent tasks are more resilient to temporary rate limits and retry instead of failing immediately
• Narrow allow rules for Bash commands correctly permit file writes without extra prompts
• Rules containing markdown headings render correctly in the prompt
• /new and /clear preserve the last-chosen reasoning effort instead of resetting to the model default
• Prompt dropdowns (slash, history, file search) have consistent left alignment with the composer
• History shows every command, slash command, and memory note in the order you typed them
• Collapsed tool-call rows no longer show a vertical accent line beside the status diamond
• Hint text above the prompt lines up with the text you type
• Pressing Esc while peeking at a conversation from the dashboard closes open modals instead of leaving the view
• /copy preserves markdown formatting such as headings and code fences
• Sending a new message while a shell command is running moves the command to the background instead of cancelling it
• grok mcp add correctly treats bare http(s):// URLs as HTTP servers instead of stdio commands
• Plan mode no longer incorrectly blocks subagent spawns as file edits outside plan.md
• MCP servers that share a URL but have different names stay as separate entries instead of being collapsed
• Subagents and workflow-spawned agents no longer receive the workflow tool that only top-level sessions can use
• Memory results are presented as historical context to verify against live sources before use
• Minimal mode no longer truncates subagent wake-turn replies after the first token
• Concurrent subagents no longer trigger rate-limit errors during bursts
• MCP server connections no longer delay session startup when many servers are configured
