# xAI Grok Operations (2026)

## Workflow

1. Confirm the active docs and example repositories in `references/sources.md`.
2. Choose the Grok path that matches the workload: chat, vision, or voice.
3. Prefer official request examples and current endpoint patterns before custom wrappers.
4. Define retries, timeout budgets, and moderation or fallback expectations.
5. Run one representative smoke test on the target endpoint before broader rollout.

## Output Requirements

- State the selected Grok model family or endpoint path.
- State the official integration path being followed.
- Include one operational guardrail for rollout, retries, or model fallback.
