At a glance

Search the web or X/Twitter using xAI Grok server-side tools (websearch, xsearch) via the xAI Responses API.

  • You need tweets/threads/users from X
  • SKILL.md covers API key, Run, Useful flags and Output shape (JSON), plus 1 more section
  • Runs JavaScript scripts from its folder; calls node; needs XAI_API_KEY
  • Want Grok as an alternative to Brave

What it does

Grok Search is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. Search the web or X/Twitter using xAI Grok server-side tools (websearch, xsearch) via the xAI Responses API. Use when you need tweets/threads/users from X, want Grok as an alternative to Brave, or you need structured JSON + citations.

Its SKILL.md is about 620 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/xai-tools-links.md`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Web search, Social media posts and Citation management. It works with X (Twitter) and xAI Grok. The repository describes itself as: Top OpenClaw skills, with the most popular and useful ones.

When your agent uses it

  • You need tweets/threads/users from X
  • Want Grok as an alternative to Brave
  • You need structured JSON + citations

Example prompts

  • “/grok-search”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A credential in XAI_API_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b80cde2. 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

    Ships 4 files in scripts/ (JavaScript), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node

    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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • XAI_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Grok Search loads about 620 tokens when it runs, and up to ~685 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 180 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~620
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~685

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 180 words (~620 tokens).

“Run xAI Grok locally via bundled scripts (search + chat + model listing). Default output for search is pretty JSON (agent-friendly) with citations.”
