What

Docs page so a phone running Build Remote Agent can spectate a Wave desktop session.

Does not change Wave AI, durable SSH, or Claude Code badges. Attach only http://127.0.0.1:8788 or stdio gbr-mcp.

How

curl -fsSL https://grokbuildremote.com/install.sh | bash
gbr-agent version          # v0.6.0+
gbr-agent pair && gbr-agent run
curl -sS http://127.0.0.1:8788/health

Phone is spectator + veto. Protocol gbr/1. Independent product by Linespotting AB. Not affiliated with xAI or SpaceX. No mailbox keys.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

Reworked the Build Remote Agent documentation as an AEO-style pairing guide. It now covers terminal discovery, whole-machine pairing, excluded interfaces, unpairing, pinned v0.6.0 GitHub installation, SHA-256 verification, pairing and run commands, local Bot API and MCP interfaces, plugin locations, and distinctions from LAN remotes and phone-control tools.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7c94c

The documentation adds setup instructions, but the current steps can fail for fresh users because the install directory may be missing, the newly installed command may not be on the current shell PATH, and the documented gbr-mcp attachment path is not made available. These bounded issues can prevent pairing or MCP attachment, so merge should wait for correction or explicit owner acceptance.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Handle the macOS/Linux PATH after installation.

When ~/.local/bin is not already in the current shell's PATH, the installer cannot update that shell. The documented gbr-agent version command at Line 23 then fails with command not found. Add the export or instruct the user to open a new terminal before running the version check. (grokbuildremote.com)

Proposed documentation fix
 # macOS / Linux
 curl -fsSL https://grokbuildremote.com/install.sh | bash
+export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"  # or open a new terminal
 gbr-agent version

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Document the separate gbr-mcp installation and MCP client configuration.

The agent installer does not install a standalone gbr-mcp command. Document the Node.js 20+ prerequisite, repository clone, npm install, diagnostic command, and the MCP configuration with "command": "node" and an absolute bin/gbr-mcp.js path under mcpServers.

Create the destination directory before installation.

If ~/.local/bin does not exist, Line 58 fails and the pairing commands do not run. Create the directory before install. The linked pinned recipe already does this. (github.com)
