Usage
Run the script using absolute path (do NOT cd to the skill directory first):
uv run ~/.claude/skills/groksearch/scripts/groksearch.py "your query"
Common options
# X + Web (default)
uv run ~/.claude/skills/groksearch/scripts/groksearch.py "your query" --sources both
# X only
uv run ~/.claude/skills/groksearch/scripts/groksearch.py "your query" --sources x
# Web only
uv run ~/.claude/skills/groksearch/scripts/groksearch.py "your query" --sources web
# Last 14 days
uv run ~/.claude/skills/groksearch/scripts/groksearch.py "your query" --days 14
# Explicit date range
uv run ~/.claude/skills/groksearch/scripts/groksearch.py "your query" --from-date 2026-01-01 --to-date 2026-01-31
# No date filtering
uv run ~/.claude/skills/groksearch/scripts/groksearch.py "your query" --no-date
API Key
Provide the xAI API key in one of these ways (highest priority first):
--api-keyargumentXAI_API_KEYenvironment variable~/.config/groksearch/.envfile
Example config file:
mkdir -p ~/.config/groksearch
cat > ~/.config/groksearch/.env << 'EOF'
XAI_API_KEY=
EOF
chmod 600 ~/.config/groksearch/.env
Output
The script prints:
- Query, sources, and date range
- A concise summary with key points
- A short list of top source URLs (from Grok citations)

Add captions or subtitles to an existing single-subject talking-head video without editing the footage. Use for plain verbatim captions, cinematic captions embedded behind the subject, VFX captions, “炸/特效/酷炫字幕,” or a named identity from the 35-style catalog. Route by visual identity, not by backend engine. The quiet anchor rail is the default; embed every word only when the user explicitly wants a fully cinematic treatment. The workflow runs locally end to end, including transcription and subject matting; split multi-shot footage before applying it.
