xAI Grok Research Skill

This skill utilizes the xAI Grok API and its Agent Tools for autonomous research, including real-time web and X platform search.

Setup

Dependencies: Requires the xai-sdk.
```
pip install xai-sdk python-dotenv
```

API Key Configuration: The skill requires the XAI_API_KEY.

# If the script fails due to a missing key, run the following:
echo "It seems the xAI API key is not set up."
read -p "Enter your xAI API key: " GROK_KEY
echo "XAI_API_KEY=$GROK_KEY" >> .env
if [ -f .gitignore ] && ! grep -q ".env" .gitignore; then echo ".env" >> .gitignore; fi
echo "API key saved to .env."

Usage

Use the scripts/grok_research.py script. Grok will autonomously use the enabled tools.

Command

python3 scripts/grok_research.py --query "<query>" [--model <model_name>] [--web-search] [--x-search]

Parameters

--query (Required): The research query.
--model (Optional): Defaults to grok-4.1-fast-reasoning (optimized for tools).
--web-search (Optional): Enable web search tool.
--x-search (Optional): Enable X (Twitter) search tool.

Example

python3 scripts/grok_research.py --query "What is the current public sentiment and news coverage on the latest AI regulations?" --web-search --x-search

Output

The script streams the agent's thought process (to stderr) for visibility and outputs the final synthesized answer (to stdout) with citations.
