# 🤖 Query Guide

The `query` command is a one-shot, non-interactive interface for asking Grok programming-focused questions. It's ideal for quick inquiries where you don't need a full chat history.

### Why use Query?

- **Fast**: Get a direct answer to a single question.
- **Minimalist**: No chat history or context overhead.
- **Focused**: Perfect for "How do I do X in Go?" or "Explain this regex."

### Usage

```bash
# Basic usage
grokkit query "How do I sort a slice of structs by a field in Go?"

# Longer, more detailed answer
grokkit query --wordy "Explain how Go's context package works with cancellation"
```

### Features

- **Default mode** is concise, factual, and actionable.
- **`--wordy` flag** gives longer, more explanatory answers.
- **Fast model** used by default for speed (non-reasoning).
- **No persistent history** or interactive chat UI.

### Options

| Flag | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `--wordy` | Give a longer, more detailed answer |
| `--model`, `-m` | Override the default model (e.g., `grok-4`) |

### When to use Query vs. Chat

- Use **Query** for simple, independent questions that don't require follow-up.
- Use **Chat** when you need to have a back-and-forth conversation or want Grok to remember previous context.
