Openclaw Grok Search

Run cross-platform web research and return structured JSON output with content and sources. This skill is project-local and should run directly from the downloaded project directory.

When to Use

Use this skill before answering when any of these apply:

1. The user asks for latest/current/today/recent information.
2. The answer depends on versions, releases, changelogs, or compatibility.
3. The task needs official docs, API references, or source URLs.
4. The user reports an error and root-cause analysis needs web evidence.
5. You are uncertain and need external confirmation before final output.

Quick Start

1. Write config interactively (first run only).

python scripts/configure.py

2. Run a query.

python scripts/grok_search.py --query "What changed in Python recently?"

Config Priority

1. CLI args such as --base-url and --api-key
2. Environment vars GROK_*
3. Config files

Default config lookup order:

1. config.json
2. config.local.json

Cross-Platform Rules

1. Prefer python ... commands, do not require PowerShell-only syntax.
2. Keep config in the project folder, do not install or copy into ~/.codex.
3. Support GROK_CONFIG_PATH only when you explicitly want a custom path.

Output Shape

Always print JSON with:

1. ok
2. content
3. sources
4. raw
