grith run
Run one task through the built-in agent, or drop into the REPL by running grith with no arguments.
grith run <TASK>Run one task through grith's own agent, non-interactively, using the provider set in
[llm]. Every tool call the agent makes goes through the
filter pipeline first.
There are no command-specific flags - only the global ones.
What it prints
The run ends with a session summary, whether the task succeeded or not.
$ grith run "say hi"

Error: LLM request failed: provider error: ollama: HTTP 404 Not Found: {"error":"model 'llama3.1:8b' not found"}That capture is from a machine with no Ollama model pulled, so the task itself failed and
the exit code was 1. A provider error always surfaces on the last line like that. See
Connect a model.
grith run opens the dashboard in your browser on start, because
server.auto_open_dashboard defaults to true. It and the REPL are also the only two
places that will prompt you to upgrade when a newer grith exists;
grith exec checks too but prints one line and gets on with launching
the tool. GRITH_NO_UPDATE_CHECK silences both.
ℹ️This is not the supervisor
grith run supervises grith's own agent loop. To supervise a separate tool - Claude Code,
Codex, aider - use grith exec, which intercepts syscalls rather than
tool calls.
Bare grith - the REPL
Running grith with no subcommand starts an interactive prompt. It opens with
grith v0.3.1 | model: <model> | filters: <n>
Type /help for commands, or enter a prompt.Anything that does not start with / is sent to the model as a prompt. With no terminal
attached it blocks on stdin, so do not use it in scripts - use grith run.
Slash commands
| Command | Aliases | What it does |
|---|---|---|
/help | /h, /? | Print this table |
/quit | /q, /exit | Exit |
/digest | /d | Open the digest review UI |
/audit [n] | Last n audit entries, default 10 | |
/config | Session, model, filter count, turns, messages | |
/model <name> | See the warning below | |
/proxy status | /proxy | Proxy: <n> filters active |
/proxy test <call> | Dry-run a call through the proxy | |
/clear | Clear the screen | |
/context | Session, turn and message history |
An unrecognised /command prints the help table rather than an error.
⚠️/model only renames the session
/model <name> changes the display name and nothing else. The router is not rebuilt at
runtime. To change the model that actually answers, edit [llm] and restart.
