x-search-grok（x 搜索 grok）

X Search

Search X (Twitter) via Grok API. Outputs Obsidian-ready Markdown.

Prerequisites

Ensure XAI_API_KEY is set:

export XAI_API_KEY=your_key_here

Get your API key at x.ai/api (xAI developer console).

Default model is grok-4-1-fast-reasoning. To override:

export XAI_MODEL=grok-4

Install dependency if needed:

pip install requests

Invocation

Slash Command

/x-search account @elonmusk --time 24h
/x-search account @user1 @user2 --time 48h
/x-search account @sama --count 10
/x-search --lang en account @elonmusk --count 5
/x-search trends "#AI" "#LLM"
/x-search --lang en trends "#AI" "#crypto"
/x-search topic "Claude MCP"
/x-search --lang ja topic "AI規制"

--lang controls the language of summaries, keyword explanations, and translations (default: zh). When --lang en, the translation field is omitted since the original is already in English.

--output saves the result to a Markdown file (stdout is preserved):

• Pass a directory → auto-named file: karpathy-2026-03-22.md, trends-AI-2026-03-22.md, etc.
• Pass a full path → saved directly to that path
• Same-day runs overwrite the existing file (no duplicate accumulation)

--progress-only suppresses full Markdown on stdout — prints one summary line instead. Use with --output in automated pipelines (watchlist, cron) to avoid injecting large outputs into the agent context.

Natural Language

• "Search X for @elonmusk's posts in the last 24 hours"
• "X上搜索@sama和@elonmusk最新的10条推文"
• "Find trending posts about #AI on X in English"
• "X上关于Claude MCP的热点讨论"

How to Run

Find the script at ~/.claude/skills/x-search/x_search.py (or the symlinked path).

# Account mode — by time range
python3 ~/.claude/skills/x-search/x_search.py account @elonmusk --time 24h

# Account mode — by post count
python3 ~/.claude/skills/x-search/x_search.py account @user1 @user2 --count 10

# Trends mode — top 10 posts per trend
python3 ~/.claude/skills/x-search/x_search.py trends "#AI" "#LLM"

# Topic mode — hot discussions
python3 ~/.claude/skills/x-search/x_search.py topic "Claude MCP"

Output

Results are printed as Obsidian-ready Markdown.

Context efficiency: When results are large (multiple accounts, long time ranges) or when --output is provided, save to file and show only a brief summary to the user (e.g., "Found 12 posts from @karpathy, saved to ~/obsidian/X/karpathy-2026-03-22.md"). Only present the full content inline when the result is short or the user explicitly asks to see it.

For account mode, after showing results (or summary) ask:

"是否保存到文件？（例如：~/obsidian/X/@elonmusk-2026-03-22.md）"

If the user provides a path, run again with --output <path>.

Watchlist

Run all your monitored accounts, trends, and topics in one command via watchlist.py.

Setup

Copy the sample config and edit it:

cp ~/.claude/skills/x-search/watchlist.yaml ~/.x-search.yaml

# ~/.x-search.yaml
accounts:
  - "@karpathy"
  - "@elonmusk"

trends:
  - "#AI"
  - "#LLM"

topics:
  - "Claude MCP"
  - "crude oil price"

Note: all accounts share the same execution parameters. For per-account customization, call x_search.py directly.

Usage

# Run everything
python3 ~/.claude/skills/x-search/watchlist.py --time 24h --lang zh --output ~/obsidian/X/

# Run one section only
python3 ~/.claude/skills/x-search/watchlist.py --only accounts --time 24h --output ~/obsidian/X/

# Custom config path
python3 ~/.claude/skills/x-search/watchlist.py --config ~/work-watchlist.yaml --time 24h
