Real-time X/Twitter search powered by Grok-4. Find tweets, trends, and discussions with citations. Grok-4.20 also returns image results alongside tweet citat...
Usage Guidance
Install only if you are comfortable sending X/Twitter search terms, date filters, and handle filters to xAI. Keep the xAI API key private, and review the local config lookup if you do not want skills reading ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json for credentials.
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
Credentials
Network access to xAI and use of XAI_API_KEY are proportionate for the stated search function, though users should understand that their search terms and filters leave the local environment.
Install Mechanism
The package contains markdown, metadata, package.json, and one local Node.js CLI script; there are no install hooks, dependency downloads, or remote code execution paths in the inspected artifacts.
Instruction Scope
The triggers use broad phrases such as `search x`, `search twitter`, and `find tweets`; these are aligned with the skill purpose but could route ambiguous search requests to the external xAI-backed search path.
Persistence & Privilege
The script does not create persistence or modify files, but it can read a local ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json config file to find a search-x or xai API key if XAI_API_KEY is not set.
Purpose & Capability
The declared purpose is real-time X/Twitter search using xAI/Grok, and the script implements that by posting search queries, filters, and a bearer API key to api.x.ai /v1/responses.
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
