What it does
Search and research X (Twitter / 推特) — Grok grounded in live posts with inline citations. Use this skill whenever the user wants to: search Twitter / X / 推特 for posts, threads, or replies on any topic; search a specific user's posts, timeline, recent posts, replies, or what @handle said; resolve an account name, display name, nickname, 用户名, 昵称, or 展示名 to an X username; check profile / account metrics such as followers, follower count, following count, tweet count, post count, joined date, likes, 粉丝数, 关注数, 推文数, 加入时间, 获赞数; check what people / users / accounts are saying about a product, company, person, or event; gauge real-time sentiment, reactions, or hot takes from X users; do competitive intel, market research, or trend analysis grounded in live X posts (调研, 趋势分析, 舆情, 用户反馈); pull notable voices, viral threads, or breaking-news posts from X. Powered by xAI's Agent Tools (x_search and web_search) on grok-4-fast-reasoning. Prefer this over generic web search when the user mentions Twitter, X, 推特, posts, tweets, timeline, followers, account metrics, display name, or wants live social-media signal.
The X Search skill is one of 75+ pre-wired Syncore integrations that any MCP-compatible client — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex CLI, and ChatGPT desktop — can call out of the box. You don't configure MCP servers or copy API keys into a JSON file; the Syncore daemon discovers the skill at startup and exposes its tools to whichever AI client is running.
Sample prompts
Once Syncore is installed and X Search is connected, ask your agent something like:
- “What are people on X saying about MCP this week — pull the top 10 posts.”
- “Summarize the conversation around Anthropic's latest release on X.”
- “Find threads from @karpathy about agents from the last 30 days.”
