Installation
Installation is handled through the OpenClaw plugin ecosystem. Run the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/mischasigtermans/xai-plus
Once installed, obtain your API key from console.x.ai. You can configure the key via your environment variables or by using clawdbot config set skills.entries.xai-plus.apiKey "xai-YOUR-KEY". The system automatically prioritizes local config files and environment variables, ensuring flexible deployment across different development environments.
Use Cases
- Social Media Monitoring: Search specific handles or keywords on X to track brand sentiment or industry developments.
- Web Intelligence: Utilize Grok's web-search tool to summarize complex documentation or research current events.
- Multi-modal Analysis: Feed images or diagrams to the agent and use Grok's vision capabilities to extract structured data or explanations.
- Content Quality Control: Analyze posts or threads for tone and safety before publishing.
Example Prompts
- "Grok, search for the latest updates on the OpenClaw ecosystem on X from the last 2 days and summarize the top three trends."
- "Search the web for the current best practices for TypeScript 2026 and list the top 5 changes developers should know about."
- "Analyze this image: [attach image] and explain the logic shown in the diagram using your reasoning capabilities."
Tips & Limitations
- Rate Limits: Be mindful that heavy usage of the search endpoints may hit xAI API rate limits. Monitor your console usage.
- Model Switching: While the default is
grok-4-1-fast, you can easily toggle to different models using the--modelflag for specific, higher-intensity reasoning tasks. - Privacy: Always ensure you have appropriate permissions before programmatically analyzing third-party data or private accounts.
