Grok Build · Coding agent

Build a Grok Build trading bot with a whole algo team in your project.

Super Algo Kit adds an algo trading team to xAI Grok Build, so you can build your own Grok Build trading bot in plain words. Grok Build reads the kit's skills from .agents/skills and .claude/skills and its hooks from .claude/settings.json. Type /algo-start to begin. The kit interviews you, backtests with costs and paper tests before any live step.

Paper first

Super Algo Kit runs inside the coding agent you already use. It interviews you, writes the spec with pass marks set first, then builds, backtests and paper-tests. Real money starts only when you type the authorize command.

The plan, step by step

Tick them off as you go.

How does Super Algo Kit install in Grok Build?

The installer writes AGENTS.md and copies the skills into .agents/skills and .claude/skills, and Grok Build reads both. Its hooks, including the safety guard, come from .claude/settings.json.

No Grok-specific files are needed. Your project state lives in .kit, so you can switch to another tool and carry on.

What does a Grok Build session with the kit look like?

Type /algo-start. The kit gives three short lines on what it will and will not do, then asks one question at a time.

Say explain that whenever a word is unclear. You type every approval phrase yourself.

How do you build and test a trading bot in Grok Build?

After the brief, you approve a strategy card and a spec with pass marks set before any test. The kit then builds the bot, backtests it with costs, and checks out-of-sample and walk-forward results.

Use the strongest Grok model for planning and reviews. Risk limits come from your own maximum loss, and a paper run comes before any live step.

What are the limits of Grok Build with the kit?

There is no automatic start, and no built-in voice input was found when the guide was checked. The installer writes no Grok-specific role files, so the agent works as each role in turn.

Test the guard once after installing. Ask the agent to switch on live authorization, and it must refuse.
