Overview
Provides real-time X/Twitter search within OpenClaw by calling xAI’s Grok x_search tool, returning actual tweets (with URLs and metadata) filtered by time, handles, and output format.
Key Advantages
1.Real-time access to live X/Twitter discussions instead of static web results.
2.Direct integration with xAI’s /v1/responses API using grok-4-1-fast, optimized for agentic search workflows.
3.Flexible filtering by time window (days) and by specific handles or excluded handles.
4.Multiple output formats (full JSON, compact tweet view, links-only) for different downstream use cases.
5.Simple configuration via XAI_API_KEY and optional environment variables for model and default time window.
Use Cases
- Monitoring what people are currently saying about a product, company, or technology on X/Twitter.
- Pulling recent tweets from specific accounts (e.g., founders, projects, news outlets) for research or dashboards.
- Tracking short-term trends around a topic (e.g., “AI trending today” with a 1-day window).
- Gathering example tweets and links for content curation, newsletters, or reports.
- Augmenting an agent’s reasoning with fresh, citation-backed social media signals in workflows that need real-time context.

**Quick judgement**
A focused and practical skill for real-time X/Twitter search via xAI’s Grok models. It’s well-suited for agents or workflows that need fresh social media context with clear citations, given an appropriate xAI API key.
**Key strengths**
- Returns real tweets with URLs, usernames, timestamps, and citations.
- Good control over recency (`--days`) and account-based filters (`--handles`, `--exclude`).
- Output modes (`--json`, `--compact`, `--links-only`) make it convenient for both human review and downstream automation.
**Risks / limitations**
- Depends entirely on xAI’s API availability, rate limits, and search quality; outages or policy changes will break or degrade the skill.
- No built-in moderation or content filtering is described; results may include toxic, NSFW, or misleading content from X/Twitter.
- Requires proper handling of the secret `XAI_API_KEY`; misconfiguration or leakage could incur unwanted usage or costs.
**Recommended scenarios**
- Agents that need up-to-the-minute social sentiment or discussions to complement web search or static knowledge.
- Developer or research workflows where cited, verifiable X/Twitter content is important (e.g., checking claims, gathering examples).
- Monitoring or exploration tasks (trends, announcements, niche community chatter) where some content risk is acceptable and can be handled at the application layer.
