What it does
Yichen Grok Consult is an agent skill from mcncarl/yichen-skills. Consult or search with xAI Grok from a GPT-led Codex conversation without switching the main model. Use when the user asks Grok to answer, review, challenge, compare, provide a second opinion, search the web, search X/Twitter, find recent or fixed-date posts, decode timestamps embedded in X status IDs, research current topics, or invoke Grok while staying in the current GPT conversation.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).
It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Web search. It works with X (Twitter) and xAI Grok.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks Grok to answer
- Provide a second opinion
- Search X/Twitter
- Fixed-date posts
Example prompts
- “/yichen-grok-consult”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- 第一顺位始终是官方 Grok CLI，通过 ~/.grok/auth.json 的账号 OAuth 使用 Grok 订阅自带额度。
- 所有 X 关键词搜索都先使用官方 Grok CLI 原生 x_search。只有第一顺位明确出现账号额度或使用上限耗尽时，search_x_with_grok 才进入匿名 FxTwitter；FxTwitter 仍失败或零结果时，必须先取得当前任务明确授权并传入…
- ask_grok、review_with_grok、challenge_with_grok 只使用官方 Grok CLI 账号额度；OpenCLI/xreach 不能替代普通模型咨询。
- 登录失效、401/403、权限错误、输入错误、超时、网络错误、服务异常或官方 CLI 的搜索证据无法核验均不得触发静默回退；它们不是“额度用完”。
- OpenCLI 与 xreach 只允许读取，不得点赞、转发、关注、发帖、私信或改动账号；避免批量、高频和长时间分页。
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9bd7898. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Yichen Grok Consult loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 103 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,085 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,085 words (~2,128 tokens).
“Keep GPT as the controlling model. Use Grok only as a read-only external advisor, then evaluate and synthesize its response yourself.”
