Grok Compose

A copy-paste block that recreates the Grok prompt stage with xAI's rail, brand mark, prompt surface, model menu, and tool toggles. The block is not a package component: copy the file, or install it with the shadcn CLI, then edit the layout like any other file in your project. It is assembled entirely from Agent UI compose primitives, and every control is keyboard accessible.

Source you own: install the block with the shadcn CLI or copy components/blocks/composes/grok-compose.tsx. The preview below is the real file, and the code tab is the exact source.

components/blocks/composes/grok-compose.tsx

By messaging Grok, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Policy.

The code tab contains the full block, ready to copy.

Installation

Add the block with the shadcn CLI. It writes components/blocks/composes/grok-compose.tsx and installs its dependencies.

bash
npx shadcn@latest add https://agent-ui-27t.pages.dev/r/grok-compose.json

Prefer to own the file manually? Install the dependencies, then copy the source from the Files section.

bash
pnpm add @agent-ui/react lucide-react

Tailwind CSS v4 users: add @source "../node_modules/@agent-ui/react/src" to the global stylesheet so the library utilities are generated.

Usage

Import the copied file and render it anywhere. The block accepts onSend, disabled, and className; wire onSend to any backend.

tsx
import { GrokCompose } from "@/components/blocks/composes/grok-compose";
 
<GrokCompose onSend={(text) => console.log(text)} />

Files

One file. The same source is served by the shadcn registry endpoint, so the CLI and the docs can never drift.

Built with

The block imports these Agent UI primitives. Each one is a package export with its own docs page, so you can change the layout without giving up the behaviour.

Accessibility

All controls expose accessible names; the textarea supports Enter to send and Shift+Enter for a new line.

Grok also has a full product page.

Metadata, model list, and the same block in a dedicated route.
