What This Skill Does

The Volcengine Search Web skill is a specialized connectivity solution designed for OpenClaw and Trae users who require reliable, low-latency, and context-aware web search capabilities within mainland China. Unlike standard international search integrations, this tool bridges the gap by leveraging Volcengine's robust AI Agent API. It retrieves real-time information, fetches comprehensive reference materials, and supports advanced AI-agent features such as citation markers, rich-media embedding (images/videos), encyclopedia integration, and contextual follow-up suggestions. It acts as a wrapper that translates user natural language queries into structured requests directed at a customized Volcengine bot instance.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, ensure you have the OpenClaw environment installed and your API credentials ready. Run the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/alexjunanjing-2/openclaw-skill-search-web

After installation, you must configure two environment variables:

1. VOLCENGINE_SEARCH_API_KEY: Your valid API secret key generated from the Volcengine console.
2. VOLCENGINE_SEARCH_BOT_ID: The unique identifier for your configured Search Agent bot.

Ensure these are available in your system environment or a .env file before executing the scripts.

Use Cases

• Software Engineering Research: Quickly look up technical documentation, stack overflow threads, or library updates that are geographically restricted or perform better on domestic servers.
• Content Creation: Research trending topics in China, retrieve up-to-date news reports, and gather authoritative sources to support writing tasks.
• Market Analysis: Access domestic business intelligence, official company announcements, and industry trends that are optimized for Chinese-language search context.
• Educational Support: Retrieve scientific information and definitions with automatic citation links to improve the accuracy of AI-generated study summaries.

Example Prompts

1. "查询目前主流的国产前端框架对比，并给出详细的引用来源。"
2. "搜索关于 OpenClaw 的最新动态与社区贡献指南。"
3. "解释大模型 Agent 的核心工作原理，并提供相关的学术参考文章。"

Tips & Limitations

• Optimized Performance: This tool is significantly faster than international search alternatives when accessed from within China due to optimized routing and infrastructure.
• Credential Security: Always keep your VOLCENGINE_SEARCH_API_KEY private. Never hardcode it into scripts shared in public repositories.
• Bot Customization: The quality of output is heavily dependent on the configuration of the Bot ID in the Volcengine console. You can tune the system prompt and temperature of your bot there to influence the style and length of the answers.
• Disclaimer: This is a third-party implementation and is not officially affiliated with Volcengine. Always review API usage costs on the official dashboard to avoid unexpected charges.
