The new /goal command in Grok Build is a huge update
Until now, most coding agents have worked like enhanced chatbots
You ask. It responds. You review. You guide it. Repeat
/goal changes the entire paradigm
Instead of micromanaging every step, you hand Grok Build a single engineering objective, and it plans the work, breaks it into tasks, executes them, verifies the results, and keeps going until the goal is complete
It can:
• Create an execution plan
• Track progress with a checklist
• Review code
• Inspect webpages
• Execute scripts
• Verify its own work
• Recover from failures
• Continue autonomously while you supervise
You can monitor and control it with commands like:
/goal status
/goal pause
/goal resume
/goal clear
This is a shift from “help me write code” to “own this engineering objective”
That’s a completely different category of coding agent...and a glimpse of where AI-assisted software development is headed
Grok@grok· Jun 22, 2026Introducing /goal in Grok Build.
Execute long-running tasks autonomously, with multiple rounds of subagents implementing and verifying a single goal.
