Search X/Twitter and the web in real-time using xAI's Grok API with agentic search tools.

  • Productivity & Automation work in your project
  • SKILL.md covers Requirements, Quick Usage (curl), Helper Script and Models, plus 3 more sections
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls curl, jq and python; reaches api.x.ai; needs XAI_API_KEY

What it does

Xai Search is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. Search X/Twitter and the web in real-time using xAI's Grok API with agentic search tools.

Its SKILL.md is about 730 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/xai-search.py`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation. It works with xAI Grok and X (Twitter). The repository describes itself as: Top OpenClaw skills, with the most popular and useful ones.

When your agent uses it

  • Productivity & Automation work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/xai-search”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • 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 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl
    • jq
    • python
    • pip

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • api.x.ai

    Also links to:

    • docs.x.ai

    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

Xai Search loads about 730 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 146 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~25
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~730

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 146 words (~730 tokens).

“Use xAI's agentic search to query X/Twitter and the web in real-time. This leverages Grok's web_search and x_search tools.”
