A skin, not a second app.

Your team, on top
Make a Grok Bot project with [VV] at the start or end of its name, like [VV] Crew or Crew [VV]. VV//LIVEWIRE only picks up those projects — anything without the marker is ignored.
- 02
See who is working
Each bot shows its name, color, unread count and latest message, read from Grok Bot. When a bot is waiting for your OK, it flashes.
- 03
One click to the real thing
Click a bot and it opens in Grok Bot. The skin can start Grok Bot for you, and it closes itself when Grok Bot closes. All the real work stays in Grok Bot.
- 04
Hear replies
Optional read-aloud. A local voice runs on your PC, or use Grok voices with your own xAI key, which stays encrypted on your machine. Voices start off.
- 05
Snap and drop
Screenshot any part of the screen to a bot, drop files on the orb, or right-click a file and use Send to. Copy the last reply with one shortcut.
- 06
Stays out of the way
Hides itself while a fullscreen game or video is in front. Four sizes, three backdrops, a weekly usage meter, and a tray icon for everything else.

STRAIGHT TALK
Unofficial, and honest about it.
- VV//LIVEWIRE is made by Vinyl & Volt. It is not made by, affiliated with, or endorsed by xAI / SpaceXSI.
- It depends on how the Grok Bot app works today. A Grok Bot update can break parts of it until we ship a fix.
- It is optional. No Rig needs it, and uninstalling it never touches your Grok Bot setup.

FAQ
Straight answers.
Is VV//LIVEWIRE official?
No. It is an independent skin made by Vinyl & Volt for the Grok Bot app. It is not made by, affiliated with, or endorsed by xAI / SpaceXSI, and it does not use their logos.
Will it break?
It can. VV//LIVEWIRE reads a small status cache that Grok Bot keeps on disk. When Grok Bot updates and changes that format, parts of the skin may stop working until we ship a fix. Grok Bot itself keeps working either way.
Do I need it to use Rigs?
No. Rigs run inside Grok Bot on their own. VV//LIVEWIRE is only a look. Use it, skip it, or uninstall it any time.
Does it run on Windows?
Yes. The current build (0.1.1) is a Windows x64 desktop app. Other platforms are not available yet.
What can it see?
It reads only the small cache Grok Bot keeps on disk: section and bot names, colors, unread, "waiting on you", the latest message and weekly usage. It never writes to Grok Bot files, never opens credential files, and never sees your login.
How much is it, and where do I get it?
It is free. VV//LIVEWIRE ships with the first Rig Drop. Join the Drop list and you get the link the day it goes live.
