Heavy user compares Grok Build vs Claude: wants remote control, questions 30% usage drop

A heavy user who hit the SuperGrok Heavy weekly limit spent three days on Claude and shared a comparison:
- Claude: solid overall, feels slower than Grok, but the remote-control workflow (local machine keeps running while driven remotely) is genuinely refreshing.
- Two asks for Grok Build: 1) a simple tunnel for remote control without moving the whole stack to the cloud; 2) Ctrl+B to send the running task to the background for parallel work.
- Pain point: skills and plugins cause severe context pollution in Grok Build, with the model itself suggesting disabling unused ones.
- Concern: the author feels Grok usage is now about 30% of what it used to be, calling for more transparency from xAI.
A practical frontline comparison of coding-agent workflows, with the usage-drop question highly relevant to subscribers.
