What This Skill Does
Connects to xAI's API to chat with Grok models including Grok-3, Grok-3-mini, and a vision model for image analysis. Supports real-time X/Twitter search via the xAI Responses API, returning live posts with citations.
The built-in X search tool returns live posts with citations, so users get real-time information that static LLM APIs lack.
When to use it
- Asking Grok a complex coding or reasoning question
- Analyzing a screenshot or photo with the Grok vision model
- Searching recent X posts about a topic or person
- Switching between fast and capable Grok model variants
- Getting cited, real-time social commentary on a current event
