Description
Skywork Search (skywork) - Search the web for real-time information using the Skywork Search API. Use this skill whenever the user needs up-to-date informati...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do exactly what it claims: call the Skywork web_search endpoint using the SKYWORK_API_KEY. Before installing: 1) Verify you trust the Skywork service and its domain (api-tools.skywork.ai) and are comfortable supplying an API key. 2) Store the API key securely (avoid echoing it in shared shells or logs; prefer secure config storage). 3) Be aware the script writes search results to a temp directory—if results may contain sensitive data, clean up or control access to those files. 4) If you have organizational policy about third-party API keys, confirm compliance and quota/cost implications. The code is small and readable; if you want extra assurance, review the scripts locally before running.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: skywork-search
Version: 1.0.8
The skywork-search skill is a legitimate tool for performing web searches via the Skywork Search API. The implementation in scripts/web_search.py uses standard Python libraries to send search queries to a documented API endpoint (api-tools.skywork.ai) and saves results to temporary files for the agent to read. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection; the skill follows standard configuration patterns for OpenClaw and Claude Code.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description, required binary (python3), and required env var (SKYWORK_API_KEY) are coherent with a web-search API client. The included scripts implement a simple POST to a Skywork gateway; nothing outside web-search is requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md tells the agent to run the bundled Python script and to store the API key in environment or config files (~/.openclaw/openclaw.json or ~/.claude/settings.json). That is expected for an API-backed skill, but users should be aware the script writes search results to a temporary directory and that the setup guide suggests echoing the key (which could leak in shared shells or logs).
Install Mechanism
No install spec; the skill is run from included Python scripts. No network downloads or archive extraction are performed by an installer.
Credentials
Only one credential is required (SKYWORK_API_KEY) and it is used directly to authenticate requests to the Skywork API. The references explain storing the key in OpenClaw/Claude config which is consistent with primaryEnv usage.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not modify other skills or system settings. It only reads the declared SKYWORK_API_KEY environment variable and writes temporary result files.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install skywork-search - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/skywork-search - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.8
- Updated the skill description formatting and added the skill name ("Skywork Search (skywork)") for clarity.
- Revised API key configuration instructions to clarify that SKYWORK_API_KEY must be set "before use," not specifically in OpenClaw.
- No functional or script changes; only SKILL.md documentation was updated for clarity and consistency.
v1.0.7
- Updated the description to clarify the underlying API is now referred to as the Skywork Search API (skywork).
- No functional changes or file modifications in this version.
v1.0.6
No changes detected in this version.
- No file or documentation updates found between versions.
- Functionality, usage instructions, and prerequisites remain the same.
v1.0.5
- Expanded trigger phrases in the skill description to include multiple languages (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) for phrases like "search for", "look up", "find information about", and similar queries.
- No code or script changes; documentation only.
v1.0.4
- Switched authentication from interactive login to requiring an API key (`SKYWORK_API_KEY`) environment variable.
- Updated documentation to guide users through API key setup (see new `references/apikey-fetch.md`).
- Declared required environment variable in skill metadata.
- Added new utility script (`scripts/constant.py`) to support configuration.
- Removed previous browser-based authentication and token caching steps.
v1.0.3
- Removed environment variable and config file requirements from metadata (no need for SKYBOT_TOKEN, SKYWORK_GATEWAY_URL, etc. at the skill level).
- Updated metadata to only require Python3 for running scripts.
- No user-facing functional changes, documentation, and usage remain the same.
v1.0.2
- Added a `metadata` section with detailed environment, binary, and config requirements.
- Specified all required environment variables: SKYBOT_TOKEN, SKYWORK_GATEWAY_URL, SKYWORK_API_BASE, SKYWORK_WEB_BASE, and POD_TYPE.
- Declared Python3 as a required binary and ~/.skywork_token as a required config file.
- No changes to skill functionality or usage instructions.
v1.0.1
- Minor improvements and optimizations.
- No changes to functionality or user experience.
v1.0.0
Skywork Search v1.0.0
- Initial release providing real-time web search via the Skywork web search API.
- Supports up to 3 simultaneous search queries per invocation.
- Structured results include URLs and content snippets for easy fact-checking and citation.
- Requires authentication; guides on login flow and handling required login URLs for users.
- Designed for use whenever up-to-date, web-sourced information is needed.
