What Changed

GrokAdapter.sendTurn now lowers composer $skill mentions to the /skill form the Grok CLI expands, mirroring the existing Cursor lowering (rewriteCursorSkillMentions):

  • GrokSkills.ts gains hasGrokSkillMention / rewriteGrokSkillMentions (same mention pattern Cursor uses; only discovered skills are rewritten, money and glued tokens are untouched).
  • sendTurn discovers the skill catalog once per session (gated on the fast mention check, probe failures recover to "no rewrite") and applies the rewrite before prompt parts are built, so a leading $skill also skips runtime instructions exactly like a typed /skill.
  • Regression tests in GrokSkills.test.ts.

    G->>CLI: session/prompt "/poteto-mode do X"

Why

Picking a skill from the composer inserts $name for every provider, but the Grok adapter sent it through verbatim and the Grok CLI does not expand $name in a plain prompt, so the skill never loaded. The /name form works because the harness expands it. This closes the same hole #9128 closed for Claude, at the adapter boundary.

Fixes #13457

UI Changes

None. Server-only behavior fix with no visual change.

Checklist

  • This PR is small and focused
  • I explained what changed and why
  • I included before/after screenshots for any UI changes (N/A: no UI changes)
  • I included a video for animation/interaction changes (N/A)

Validation:

  • vp test run src/provider/Drivers/GrokSkills.test.ts (apps/server): 7 passed, including 2 new regression tests.
  • vp exec tsc --noEmit -p . (apps/server): no errors. vp lint on touched files: clean. vp fmt applied.
  • Fallow review --base HEAD: risk low, no new dead code or duplication on changed lines.

Model: Muse Spark. Harness: Muse Code.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Grok recognizes available skill mentions prefixed with $, €, £, or ¥ and converts them into skill commands. Skill names beginning with numbers are also recognized.
    • Currency amounts, environment variables, embedded mentions, and unavailable skills remain unchanged.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Failed skill discovery can be retried on a later turn.
    • The always-approve skill cannot be converted into the built-in approval command.
    • Stopping a turn during skill discovery interrupts the turn.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at e33c2f7

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a localized Grok adapter compatibility fix that restores existing $skill picker behavior while leaving unrelated prompts unchanged. The added integration and cancellation tests cover the new runtime path, and no schema, deployment, security, billing, authentication, or default-setting changes are present.

You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Grok provider detects skill mentions, discovers enabled skills when needed, and rewrites matching mentions as slash invocations. Discovery failures leave input unchanged and allow a later retry. Stop events during discovery are tracked when the turn is prepared.

Changes

Grok skill mentions

Layer / File(s) Summary
Mention matching and rewriting
apps/server/src/provider/Drivers/GrokSkills.ts, apps/server/src/provider/Drivers/GrokSkills.test.ts
The helpers detect currency-symbol-prefixed skill mentions and rewrite them to slash invocations only when the name matches a discovered skill. Tests cover skill names, numeric-looking names, currency amounts, and environment variables.
Discovery and sendTurn integration
apps/server/src/provider/Layers/GrokAdapter.ts, apps/server/src/provider/Layers/GrokAdapter.test.ts
The session context caches discovered skill names and tracks Stop events. sendTurn discovers skills before acquiring the thread lock, rewrites matching mentions, and rejects text that becomes the built-in /always-approve command. It uses the original trimmed input if the session changes during discovery. Tests cover retry after discovery failure, command rejection, and Stop during pending inspection.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to e33c2

Selecting a dotted skill can send its mention as literal text instead of invoking it. This is a narrow, localized issue to fix before merge if those skill names are used.

`ctx.grokSkillNames`; leave the cache undefined so later selections can retry
discovery. Cache the enabled skill names, including an empty set, only when
discovery succeeds.
- Around line 1599-1602: Update the skill decoding and `grokSkillNames`
construction in the Grok adapter to preserve each skill’s `invocableAs` value
and use Grok’s qualified invocation for enabled skills whose bare names collide
with built-ins. Ensure collision checks and invocation use the qualified name so
a selected skill cannot be rewritten to a built-in command.

- Around line 1537-1538: Update the sendTurn flow around discoverGrokSkills to
track cancellation for sends that are still probing, and check that state after
discovery and before creating or dispatching a turn. Ensure Stop also cancels
pending steered probes after the original turn settles, so no turn starts once
Stop has completed.

`discoverGrokSkills`, acquire the thread lock and verify the live context is
still `sessionCtx`; if it was replaced by `startSession`, discard the result or
repeat discovery for the live session so discovery and locked preparation use
the same session.
