# Grok Build — intrikata short-circuit onboard

**Audience:** future Grok Build sessions spinning up the praxis stack via **intrikata.com**  
(per-user minimum-graph provision + megapraxis/metamegapraxis).  
**Live:** https://intrikata.com · https://intrikata.pages.dev  
**Purpose:** skip cold rediscovery. First session = **short path**, not a 150K-token self-audit swarm.

This is the **onboarding short-circuit** (bridge-class analogue of
`bridge::fixed-point-short-circuit`). Novel audits still pay full price (Tarski residual).

## 60-second path (Grok agents — follow in order)

| Step | Action | Stop if |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | Read **this page** or `GET /data/grok-onboard.json` | — |
| 1 | If `short_circuit.eligible` and skills already on disk and user only wants orientation | emit mini-brief; **done** |
| 2 | **Skills (one-time):** install megapraxis + metamegapraxis from praxis-stack (sibling site) | — |
| 3 | **Optional graph backend:** `instance new <handle>` seeds **browser Pharosiraptor** (IndexedDB); `bootstrap` seeds CF D1 operant; `pharosiraptor`/`operant` resolve **CF → proxy → browser-js**. Playbook: [/deploy-pharosiraptor.md](https://intrikata.com/deploy-pharosiraptor.md) | skip if user only wants skills |
| 4 | **Or local download only:** `provision` / `intrikata provision <handle>` | skip if using CF/browser graph |
| 4b | **≥2 local instances:** console auto background-provisions browser + CF for each | — |
| 5 | Execute megapraxis **filesystem-fallback** only | briefing emitted |
| 6 | Do **not** auto-run metamegapraxis swarm or MCP recovery | unless user asks |
| 7 | Free-form non-commands: expect soft-hint, not graph mutation | — |

### Skills install (stdlib / one-time)

```text
# preferred package host (sibling praxis-stack surface)
iwr https://praxis-stack.pages.dev/pkg/praxis-stack-skills.zip -OutFile praxis.zip
Expand-Archive praxis.zip praxis-stack
cd praxis-stack
py install.py --harness grok          # → ~/.grok/skills
# optional shared with Claude Code:
py install.py --harness claude        # → ~/.claude/skills
```

Or: `git clone https://praxis-stack.pages.dev/git/praxis-stack.git`

### Instance + CF operant (optional graph isolation)

```text
# browser console on https://intrikata.com/
instance new <yourhandle>
bootstrap          # seeds 7 machinery graphs into Cloudflare D1
operant            # health + sample node search

# or CLI
curl -O https://intrikata.com/cli/intrikata.py
py intrikata.py bootstrap <yourhandle>
py intrikata.py operant <yourhandle>

# local JSON download only (no D1):
py intrikata.py provision <yourhandle>
```

CF operant = **minimal** name-search surface (not full GraphDoc/MCP).  
Import `provision` JSON into your own GraphDoc if you want Tier-2 graphs.  
**Neither is required** for a valid megapraxis briefing (filesystem-fallback).

### Invoke

In Grok: `/megapraxis` or "orient me". Expect `_via: filesystem_` unless a backend is up.

## What you must NOT do on first Grok onboard

1. **Do not** treat missing `mcp__*pharosiraptor*` tools as a ship blocker.  
2. **Do not** auto-start `megapraxis-self-audit` (~150K tokens).  
3. **Do not** require `localhost:8080` for a valid briefing.  
4. **Do not** invent skill/plugin counts — compute or print `count-skipped`.  
5. **Do not** re-export operator run-history — intrikata provision is **machinery-only** by design.

## When to leave short-circuit

- User says `/metamegapraxis`, `audit`, `swarm`, `trap N`, `bridges`
- User wants live GraphDoc coverage grids / SwarmExecutor
- Install or provision failed and the task depends on it

Then use full skill bodies + optional backend (see praxis-stack `/backend.md`).

## Tarski residual (named, not absorbed)

Whether a future Grok product surface will natively register pharosiraptor MCP is
**oracle-required**. This short-circuit claims only: **filesystem-fallback onboard via
intrikata + praxis-stack skills is sufficient and preferred for new Grok projects today.**
