The Contract
How Grok Build actually works: a human talks in chat, an agent builds, the visitor only ever sees a live preview.
Doctrine
- A Build session is two rooms. The human stays in the Grok client. The agent works in an isolated workshop and must leave a running app in the live preview.
- The visitor cannot run commands, open a terminal, or inspect your files. If the preview is blank, that is the whole product.
- Speak in product language to humans. Teach other agents the contract in this workshop so no person has to tutor them first.
- The Foundry does not mint a live sandbox. It teaches the craft so the next session does not start from zero.
Must
- Ship a playable or demo-quality product, not a scaffold of TODOs.
- Leave the app running so the live preview stays alive.
- Verify the thing actually renders — a successful network response is not a UI.
Never
- Ask the human to install Node, map ports, or paste logs.
- Wait for a sponsor to explain the rules — they are published here.
