Usage Guidance
Install this only if you are comfortable sending X/Twitter search terms, handle filters, and date filters to xAI using your configured API key. Avoid entering secrets, confidential project names, personal data, or sensitive investigative terms, and invoke it explicitly when you mean to search X/Twitter.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: search-x
Version: 1.2.1
The skill bundle provides a legitimate tool for searching X/Twitter via the xAI API. The core logic in scripts/search.js is well-structured, using standard Node.js modules to interact with the official api.x.ai endpoint. It retrieves the required API key from environment variables or a local configuration file (~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json) in a transparent manner. No malicious behaviors such as data exfiltration, unauthorized command execution, or harmful prompt injection instructions were identified.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose is real-time X/Twitter search, and the script implements that by calling api.x.ai /v1/responses with the x_search tool, returning tweet text and citations. No unrelated account mutation, posting, deletion, local indexing, or destructive behavior was found.
Instruction Scope
The triggers are purpose-related but broad, including phrases like search x, search twitter, find tweets, and what's on x about. These could invoke the skill when a user intended a more generic search, but the behavior remains disclosed and aligned with X/Twitter search.
Install Mechanism
The package contains a README, SKILL.md, package metadata, and a Node.js search script. There are no install scripts, dependency hooks, obfuscation, or privileged setup steps; the README suggests cloning into the local skills directory and configuring an API key.
Credentials
Network access to xAI and use of an XAI_API_KEY are necessary for the stated function. The script reads the key from the environment or a specific local Clawdbot config path, which is proportionate, though users should understand their queries and filters are sent to xAI.
Persistence & Privilege
No background worker, startup persistence, privilege escalation, broad credential access, or durable data collection was found. The local config read is limited to locating the xAI API key for this integration.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install search-x - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/search-x - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
