# Grok Search
Real-time web + X (Twitter) search powered by xAI's Grok agentic search tools. Grok does
the searching server-side and returns ranked results with citations.
This is a **deliberate, on-demand** capability — it does **not** change your default web
search backend. Use it when Grok's real-time reach or native access to X/Twitter is what
the moment calls for; keep using the normal `web_search` tool for everything else.
## When to load
Load this skill when:
- The user says "use Grok to search", "ask Grok", "search X / Twitter", or names Grok/X
explicitly for a lookup.
- The request is **real-time / breaking** ("what's happening with X right now", "latest
reactions to Y") where a general index lags.
- The request is **X/Twitter-native** ("what are people posting about Z", "what's the
sentiment on X about W", "find the thread where…").
Do **not** reach for this for ordinary web research — the default `web_search` provider
is better for general-purpose, index-backed queries and does not carry Grok's per-call
cost.
## Prerequisites
- `XAI_API_KEY` set in the profile's `~/.hermes/.env` (an xAI developer key from the xAI
console). The script also accepts `--api-key`, but **prefer the env var** — a key on
the command line lands in shell history and process listings.
- Python 3 (stdlib only — no packages to install).
If the key is missing, the script exits with a clear JSON error; tell the user a key is
needed and stop, don't fall back silently.
