Install with your agent
Agent handoff
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
- Download the package from Yavira.
- Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
- Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
New install
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
Upgrade existing
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.

Documentation
xAI Grok Search
Search the web and X (Twitter) using xAI's Grok API with real-time internet access, citations, and optional image/video understanding.
Use Web Search For:
Current information from websites, news articles, documentation Real-time data (stock prices, weather, recent events) Research topics with up-to-date web sources Finding information from specific websites/domains Verifying current facts
Use X Search For:
What people are saying on X/Twitter about a topic Trending discussions and social sentiment Real-time reactions to events Posts from specific X handles/users Recent social media activity within date ranges Do NOT use for: Historical facts that won't change General knowledge already available Mathematical calculations Code generation Creative writing
Required Environment Variables
export XAI_API_KEY="your-xai-api-key-here" Get your API key from: https://console.x.ai/
Usage
The agent will automatically choose the right tool based on the user's query: User: "What's the latest news about AI regulation?" โ Uses web_search User: "What are people saying about OpenAI on X?" โ Uses x_search
Function: search_web
Search the web using xAI's Grok API. Parameters: query (required): Search query string model (optional): Model to use (default: "grok-4-1-fast-reasoning") allowed_domains (optional): Array of domains to restrict search (max 5) excluded_domains (optional): Array of domains to exclude (max 5) enable_image_understanding (optional): Enable image analysis (default: false) Returns: content: The search response text citations: Array of sources with url, title, and snippet usage: Token usage statistics
Function: search_x
Search X (Twitter) using xAI's Grok API. Parameters: query (required): Search query string model (optional): Model to use (default: "grok-4-1-fast-reasoning") allowed_x_handles (optional): Array of X handles to search (max 10, without @) excluded_x_handles (optional): Array of X handles to exclude (max 10, without @) from_date (optional): Start date in ISO8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD) to_date (optional): End date in ISO8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD) enable_image_understanding (optional): Enable image analysis (default: false) enable_video_understanding (optional): Enable video analysis (default: false) Returns: content: The search response text citations: Array of X posts with url, title, and snippet usage: Token usage statistics
Implementation
This skill uses the xAI Responses API (/v1/responses endpoint).
Web Search
async function search_web(options) { const { query, model = 'grok-4-1-fast-reasoning', allowed_domains, excluded_domains, enable_image_understanding } = options; const tool = { type: 'web_search' }; if (allowed_domains) tool.allowed_domains = allowed_domains; if (excluded_domains) tool.excluded_domains = excluded_domains; if (enable_image_understanding) tool.enable_image_understanding = true; const response = await fetch('https://api.x.ai/v1/responses', { method: 'POST', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.XAI_API_KEY}` }, body: JSON.stringify({ model, input: [{ role: 'user', content: query }], tools: [tool] }) }); const data = await response.json(); return { content: data.output[data.output.length - 1].content, citations: data.citations }; }
X Search
async function search_x(options) { const { query, model = 'grok-4-1-fast-reasoning', allowed_x_handles, excluded_x_handles, from_date, to_date, enable_image_understanding, enable_video_understanding } = options; const tool = { type: 'x_search' }; if (allowed_x_handles) tool.allowed_x_handles = allowed_x_handles; if (excluded_x_handles) tool.excluded_x_handles = excluded_x_handles; if (from_date) tool.from_date = from_date; if (to_date) tool.to_date = to_date; if (enable_image_understanding) tool.enable_image_understanding = true; if (enable_video_understanding) tool.enable_video_understanding = true; const response = await fetch('https://api.x.ai/v1/responses', { method: 'POST', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.XAI_API_KEY}` }, body: JSON.stringify({ model, input: [{ role: 'user', content: query }], tools: [tool] }) }); const data = await response.json(); return { content: data.output[data.output.length - 1].content, citations: data.citations }; }
Web Search - Current Events
const result = await search_web({ query: "latest AI regulation developments" });
Web Search - Specific Domains
const result = await search_web({ query: "UN climate summit latest", allowed_domains: ["un.org", "gov.uk", "grokipedia.com"] });
X Search - Social Sentiment
const result = await search_x({ query: "new iPhone reactions opinions" });
X Search - Specific Handles
const result = await search_x({ query: "AI thoughts", allowed_x_handles: ["elonmusk", "cstanley"], from_date: "2025-01-01" });
X Search - With Media
const result = await search_x({ query: "Mars landing images", enable_image_understanding: true, enable_video_understanding: true });
Web Search
Use allowed_domains to limit to specific domains (max 5) Use excluded_domains for known bad sources (max 5) Cannot use both at same time Enable image understanding only when needed
X Search
Use allowed_x_handles to focus on specific accounts (max 10) Use excluded_x_handles to filter noise (max 10) Cannot use both at same time Don't include @ symbol in handles Use ISO8601 date format: YYYY-MM-DD Media understanding adds API costs
"XAI_API_KEY not found"
export XAI_API_KEY="your-key-here"
Rate Limiting
Implement exponential backoff Cache frequent queries
Poor Results
Add domain/handle filters Make queries more specific Narrow date ranges
Slow Responses
Search queries using reasoning models (e.g. grok-4-1-fast-reasoning) can take 30-60+ seconds to return, especially when the model performs multiple web or X searches. If the search is lagging, inform the user that results are still loading and ask them to type "poll" to check for the completed response.
