Grok 4 — X/Twitter Live Search Skill

Prerequisites

• OpenRouter API key required (set as

  OPENROUTER_API_KEY

  environment variable)
• Get your key at openrouter.ai
• Bun runtime installed

When to use

Use this Skill whenever the user asks for trends, activity, examples, or evidence from X/Twitter:

• "search twitter|x for <query>"
• "what's trending on X"
• "top tweets/threads/hashtags about <topic>"
• "what are people saying about <project>"
• "tweets from @handle", "compare @a vs @b"

How to run (Claude should execute these)

• Minimal:

  bun scripts/grok.ts --q "<query>"
  

• One-off with inline API key:

  OPENROUTER_API_KEY="sk-or-..." bun scripts/grok.ts --q "<query>"
  

• With handles and date window (YYYY-MM-DD):

  bun scripts/grok.ts \
    --q "<topic or question>" \
    --mode on \
    --include "@OpenAI" "@AnthropicAI" \
    --from "2025-11-01" --to "2025-11-07" \
    --min-faves 50 --min-views 0 \
    --max 12
  

• Output is concise JSON:

  (tweet URLs), and

  . Paste a short synthesis with linked tweets.

Defaults & notes

• Live Search

  mode

  defaults to

  auto

  ; use

  on

  for explicit "search X now".
• If user gives handles, pass them via

  --include

  (or

  --exclude

  ).
• Use

  --from/--to

  for time-bounded asks; if unspecified, do not assume dates.
• Keep

  --max

  modest (8–20) for cost/latency; raise only if sparse.

• --include

  and

  --exclude

  are mutually exclusive.
• Do not claim access to private/protected content. Prefer links over long quotes.

Troubleshooting

• Sparse results → increase

  --max

  or relax filters; consider removing handles.
• Missing links → they're in
