zhipu-search

What This Skill Does

The zhipu-search skill is a robust web-based intelligence gathering tool for the OpenClaw AI agent. It bridges the gap between static LLM knowledge and real-time internet data. By integrating with Zhipu AI’s advanced search architecture, this skill allows your agent to fetch current, accurate, and context-aware information from across the web. Whether you need to retrieve the latest market trends, verify technical documentation, or aggregate data from specific domains, zhipu-search provides granular control over the retrieval process. It supports four distinct search engines—search_std, search_pro, search_pro_sogou, and search_pro_quark—enabling the agent to adapt its search strategy based on the specific nature of the user's request. Additionally, the skill offers sophisticated filtering parameters, including time-based recency (e.g., oneDay, oneWeek), domain whitelisting, and content detail level (medium/high), ensuring that the agent delivers only the most relevant and high-quality results.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your local environment, use the OpenClaw Command Line Interface:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/whyhit2005/zhipu-web-search

Once installed, ensure your OpenClaw configuration has the necessary environment variables set for Zhipu AI API access. You can verify the installation by running the agent and requesting a simple web search to confirm connectivity to the Zhipu backend.

Use Cases

• Academic and Technical Research: Retrieve the latest research papers or software version release notes from specific, trusted domains.
• Market Intelligence: Gather real-time data on industry news using the search_pro engine to ensure high-fidelity sourcing.
• Regionalized Content Aggregation: Utilize search_pro_sogou to access contextually relevant information and social trends prevalent in China’s domestic digital landscape.
• Dynamic Q&A: Provide accurate, up-to-date answers for queries that require information created after the LLM’s training cutoff.

Example Prompts

1. "Search for the latest security updates regarding the Linux kernel released in the last week using the pro search engine."
2. "Find recent articles about AI development trends on medium.com, focusing only on high-detail summaries."
3. "What are the top news headlines in the Chinese tech sector today? Use the Sogou search engine for this request."

Tips & Limitations

• Optimizing Queries: While the API handles query rewriting, providing a query under 70 characters often yields the most precise results.
• Selecting Engines: For general tasks, search_std is sufficient. If you require deep analysis, always opt for search_pro to leverage enhanced parsing capabilities.
• Cost Considerations: The zhipu-search skill triggers an external API call. Be mindful of your API quota and usage limits when executing high-volume or automated background tasks.
• Privacy: Always be aware that domain filters and search parameters are passed to the Zhipu service. Avoid including sensitive user-specific data in the search_query field.
