Add a source inside Grok Build

Start Grok Build and enter /plugins. In the Marketplace tab, open the add-marketplace control and enter the source. Press Enter to submit. This is an alternative to the marketplace-add terminal command, so you do not need to register the same source twice.

For a local copy, enter the absolute path to your marketplace folder in Source. Choose the root containing plugins and .agents/plugins/marketplace.json, not an individual plugin folder. The screenshot’s Git URL is only an illustration.

Grok may show this source as plugin-market or under a name saved in your Grok configuration. Match the repository URL or local path when choosing it; the source label can differ from the marketplace’s display name.

Requirements
  • Install Grok Build and sign in before running skills. Use the official documentation if the application is not yet available.
  • Check the chosen plugin's requirements; some skills need additional tools or runtimes.
  • Use PowerShell on Windows or Bash/zsh on macOS/Linux. Interactive slash commands are entered inside the application.

Prepare a local copy

Choose one option. These are alternatives; you do not need to do all three.

Use an existing copy

Find the marketplace folder already on your computer. It contains plugins and the hidden .agents/plugins/marketplace.json registry. A plugin folder inside plugins is not the marketplace root.

Keep this copy in a stable location. Do not overwrite it or change its Git branch just to follow this guide.

What you should seeYou know the full path to the marketplace root.

Clone the repository

Git must be installed. Run this from the parent folder where you want to keep the copy. faye-plugin-market is an example destination name; choose another unused name if needed.

If the destination already exists, use that copy or choose a different destination. Do not overwrite it. After cloning, use the full path to the new folder in the next step.

Clone into a new folder · PowerShell
git clone https://github.com/Fayegram-AI/plugin-market.git faye-plugin-market
Clone into a new folder · Bash / zsh
git clone https://github.com/Fayegram-AI/plugin-market.git faye-plugin-market

What you should seeA new local copy exists in the chosen destination.

Download and extract the repository

Open the repository to download a copy

Use its source archive download option, then extract the archive into a stable location. Open the extracted folder containing plugins and .agents/plugins/marketplace.json, not the archive or a surrounding downloads folder.

An extracted archive is a local copy without Git history; git pull cannot update it.

What you should seeThe extracted marketplace root is available on your computer.

Open the marketplace folder

Replace the entire quoted example path below with the full path to your marketplace root. Keep the quotes, especially when the path contains spaces. Choose the command for your terminal shell.

All following relative paths use this folder. The single dot means this marketplace root; ./plugins/<plugin-id> means one plugin folder inside it.

Open your local copy — replace the example path · PowerShell
Set-Location -LiteralPath 'C:\path\to\Faye Plugin Market'
Open your local copy — replace the example path · Bash / zsh
cd -- '/path/to/Faye Plugin Market'

What you should seeYour terminal is in the folder containing plugins and .agents/plugins/marketplace.json.

Add Faye Plugin Market

Run this once for the selected source. If the same source is already registered, reuse it. Adding a marketplace makes its plugins available to choose; it does not install them all.

Run this from the marketplace folder. Open PowerShell or Bash/zsh in your downloaded or cloned marketplace folder, or change to that folder before running this command. It is the folder containing plugins and .agents/plugins/marketplace.json. The dot (.) means your shell’s current folder.

Add marketplace · PowerShell
grok plugin marketplace add .
Add marketplace · Bash / zsh
grok plugin marketplace add .

What you should seeThe source is registered. Its native marketplace identity is faye-plugin-market. Grok may display the local folder name; match its source path when choosing the catalog.

Open Grok's plugin catalog

Start Grok in your terminal, enter /plugins, and select the Marketplace tab. Choose the source you just registered. The slash command below belongs inside Grok, not your operating-system terminal.

Available plugins

Once the marketplace is added, you can stop here or install any of these plugins. Adding the marketplace does not install every plugin.

Confirm installation and start a new session

Check the plugins you selected are installed and enabled where the application exposes that state. The list command below is a quick confirmation, not a test of every skill.

Start a new Grok Build session, open its skill picker or Plugins interface, and choose a task from the installed plugin's skill guides. Read that skill's inputs and requirements before sending your request.

Use the product's native skill picker or slash-command guidance. Read the selected skill's guide rather than translating another application's example yourself.

Other ways to install

Direct CLI installation: Faye Coding Assistant

Optional alternative to installing through the Marketplace tab. This installs one plugin directly and does not require marketplace registration. Do not use both routes for the same installation.

Review the interactive trust prompt. Automatic trust is not enabled by this example.

Run this from the marketplace folder. Open PowerShell or Bash/zsh in your downloaded or cloned marketplace folder, or change to that folder before running this command. It is the folder containing plugins and .agents/plugins/marketplace.json. The path ./plugins/… starts from that marketplace folder, not from your project or an individual plugin folder.

Check an existing installation

Use this before adding a second source or when setup reports that the plugin already exists. Compare the names and source locations; reuse a matching installation.

What you should seeThe intended source and installed package are identified without removing other registrations.

Manage later

Update a local copy later

Updating the source is separate from installing a plugin. git pull updates an existing Git checkout; it does not create one and cannot update an extracted archive.

Before updating a checkout, check its branch and local changes. For an archive, obtain a newer copy separately and compare versions. Do not overwrite the existing folder or change an installed plugin without deciding to update it.

What you should seeYou have identified the source and version you intend to use before making an update.

Update or toggle Faye Coding Assistant

Choose only the operation you intend to perform. Check the installed source and version before updating. Disabling keeps the plugin installed; enabling makes its capabilities available again. Start a fresh session after changing its state.
