Task Modes

Task modes are the quickest way to tell Grok Code how disciplined or exploratory you want a run to be.

Main Task Modes

• /quick: focused task with commit discipline
• /deep: research-first task run
• /persist: verify-and-fix loop after each meaningful change
• /qa: verification-first task run
• /refactor: structured refactor run
• /inspect: review a diff, PR, or working tree

Project-Level Task Modes

• /map: generate codebase maps under .grok/map/
• /init-project: interview and scaffold project docs under .grok/
• /init-deep: generate AGENTS.md files across the workspace
• /walkthrough: write .grok/walkthrough.md and open a Mermaid preview

When To Use Each One

• use /quick for small, concrete tasks
• use /deep when you need broader reading first
• use /persist when you want tighter fix-then-verify discipline
• use /qa when tests or checks are the center of the task
• use /inspect when you want review without implementation
