wip-xai-grok

xAI Grok API. Sensor (search) + Actuator (generate). All xAI functions in one tool.

When to Use This Skill

Sensor: Search

Use search_web for:

• Current information from websites, news, documentation
• Real-time data (stock prices, weather, recent events)
• Finding information from specific domains
• Verifying current facts

Use search_x for:

• What people are saying on X/Twitter about a topic
• Trending discussions and social sentiment
• Real-time reactions to events
• Posts from specific X handles/users

Actuator: Generate

Use generate_image for:

• Creating images from text descriptions
• Generating multiple variations of a concept
• Creating images with specific aspect ratios

Use edit_image for:

• Modifying existing images with natural language
• Style transfer, color changes, adding/removing elements
• Combining up to 3 source images

Use generate_video for:

• Creating short video clips (1-15 seconds)
• Animating still images (image-to-video)
• Text-to-video generation

Do NOT Use For

• Fetching a specific X post by URL (use wip-xai-x fetch_post instead)
• Posting tweets (use wip-xai-x post_tweet)
• Reading bookmarks (use wip-xai-x get_bookmarks)
• Historical facts that won't change
• Mathematical calculations
