Grok Build v0.2.118 Update Adds Permanent Session Deletion and Smart Diagnostics
Kyrannio · x · 2026-08-01
xAI's terminal-based coding agent CLI, Grok Build, has released its v0.2.118 update. This upgrade significantly enhances session management reliability and the overall developer experience.
Key Updates:
- Session Management: Introduces the ability to permanently delete sessions via keyboard shortcuts directly from the dashboard or welcome list.
- Keyboard Guidance: The keyboard shortcuts help menu (Ctrl+.) now includes instructions for browsing prompt history and searching conversations.
- Smart Diagnostics: grok doctor can now detect color degradation caused by tmux and automatically fix the configuration.
- Stability Improvements: Boosts overall reliability across background tasks and context compaction; the /btw command now automatically retries upon temporary model overload instead of failing immediately.
Additionally, the official documentation highlights advanced workflows, including Plan mode (for approving code diffs), a Plugin Marketplace, and out-of-the-box MCP server integration.
