description: Skywork Search (skywork) - Search the web for real-time information using the Skywork Search API. Use this skill whenever the user needs up-to-date information from the internet — for example, researching a topic, looking up recent events, finding facts or statistics, gathering material for a document or presentation, or answering questions that require current data. Also trigger when the user says things like "search for" / "搜索" / "検索" / "검색", "look up" / "查询" / "調べる" / "조회하다", "find information about" / "查找关于……的信息" / "……に関する情報を探す" / "…에 대한 정보를 찾다", "what's the latest on" / "……最新进展" / "……の最新情報" / "…의 최신 소식", or any request that implies needing information beyond your training data.

# Web Search Skill

Search the web for real-time information via the Skywork search API. This skill lets you run up to 3 queries in a single invocation and returns structured results with source URLs and content snippets.

## When to use

- The user asks you to research a topic or find current information
- You need up-to-date facts, statistics, or news to answer a question
- Another task (writing a report, creating a PPT, drafting a document) needs web research as a preliminary step
- The user explicitly asks to search or look something up

## Prerequisites

### API Key Configuration (Required First)
This skill requires a **SKYWORK_API_KEY** to be configured before use.

If you don't have an API key yet, please visit:
**https://skywork.ai**

For detailed setup instructions, see:
[references/apikey-fetch.md](references/apikey-fetch.md)

## How to use

Run the bundled script from this skill's `scripts/` directory:

```bash
python3 <skill-path>/scripts/web_search.py "query1" ["query2"] ["query3"]
```

- Pass 1–3 search queries as positional arguments
- Results are saved to individual text files in a temporary directory
- The script prints the file paths to stdout so you can read them

## Crafting good queries

Search quality depends heavily on query phrasing. A few tips:

- **Be specific**: "Tesla Q4 2025 revenue" works better than "Tesla financials"
- **Use natural language**: The API handles full questions well — "What is the current population of Tokyo?" is fine
- **Split broad topics**: If the user wants a comprehensive overview, break it into 2–3 focused queries rather than one vague one
- **Include time context** when relevant: "best Python web frameworks 2026" rather than just "best Python web frameworks"

## Reading results

After running the script, read the output files. Each file contains:

```
query: <the original query>

[result-1] <source URL>
<content snippet>

[result-2] <source URL>
<content snippet>
...
```

Synthesize the results into a clear answer for the user. Always cite sources when presenting factual information — include the URLs from the results so the user can verify.

# Skywork API Key Setup Guide

## SKYWORK_API_KEY Not Configured

When the `SKYWORK_API_KEY` environment variable is not set, follow these steps:

### 1. Get API Key

Visit the Skywork website and sign in to your account:

**https://skywork.ai**

- Log in with your Skywork account
- Open account / Settings / API Key (**https://skywork.ai/?openApiKeySetting=1**)
- Create or copy your **API key**

If your organization uses a separate console or test environment, use the URL and credentials your team provides.

### 2. Configure OpenClaw

Edit the OpenClaw configuration file: `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`

In current OpenClaw, Skywork skills store the key under `skills.entries.<Skill Name>.apiKey` (not under `env`).
OpenClaw will inject this value into the skill's `SKYWORK_API_KEY` environment when `primaryEnv` matches.
Add or merge the following structure (adjust the skill name to match the installed skill):

```json
{
  "skills": {
    "entries": {
      "Skywork Search": {
        "enabled": true,
        "apiKey": "your_actual_skywork_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Replace `"your_actual_skywork_api_key_here"` with your real key.

For multiple Skywork skills, repeat the same `apiKey` field on each skill entry.

### 3. Configure Claude Code

If you are using Claude Code, use one of these lightweight options:

**Option A — shell environment**

Export the API key before running the skill:

```bash
export SKYWORK_API_KEY="your_actual_skywork_api_key_here"
```

To persist it across sessions, add the same line to `~/.zshrc` or `~/.bashrc`, then reload the shell.

**Option B — Claude Code settings**

Add the variable to `~/.claude/settings.json`:

```json
{
  "env": {
    "SKYWORK_API_KEY": "your_actual_skywork_api_key_here"
  }
}
```

Use the method that best matches how you run Claude Code.

### 4. Verify Configuration

```bash
# Check that the environment variable is available
echo "$SKYWORK_API_KEY"
```

For OpenClaw, you can also validate the config file:

```bash
cat ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json | python3 -m json.tool
```

### 5. Restart OpenClaw

```bash
openclaw gateway restart
```

## Troubleshooting

- Ensure `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` exists and is valid JSON
- Ensure `SKYWORK_API_KEY` is available in Claude Code through your shell or `~/.claude/settings.json`
- Confirm the API key is active and not expired
- Check Skywork account status, membership, or quota if requests fail with auth or benefit errors
- Restart OpenClaw after configuration changes

**Recommended**: Use the setup method that matches your runtime. OpenClaw should use the OpenClaw config file; Claude Code can use either the shell environment or `~/.claude/settings.json`.

skill-card.md

## Description:

Skywork Search helps an agent search the web for current information through the Skywork Search API and return sourced snippets for research, fact lookup, recent events, and document preparation.

This skill is ready for commercial/non-commercial use.

## Publisher:

[gxcun17](https://clawhub.ai/user/gxcun17)

### License/Terms of Use:

MIT-0

## Use Case:

Developers, employees, and external users can use this skill when an agent needs up-to-date web research, recent facts, statistics, news, or source material before answering a user or drafting content.

### Deployment Geography for Use:

Global

## Known Risks and Mitigations:

Risk: Search queries are sent to the Skywork API and may include sensitive user or business context.

Mitigation: Use the skill only for queries appropriate to send to Skywork, and avoid submitting secrets, regulated data, or confidential material unless approved for that service.

Risk: The skill requires a Skywork API key, which could be exposed through shell history, logs, or configuration files if handled carelessly.

Mitigation: Prefer OpenClaw-managed API-key configuration, avoid printing or sharing the key, and restrict access to any file that stores it.

Risk: Search results depend on Skywork API availability, result quality, and a 30-second per-query timeout.

Mitigation: Check returned source URLs and snippets before relying on facts, and retry or use alternate research paths when the API fails or results are incomplete.

## Skill Output:

**Output Type(s):** [text, markdown, shell commands, configuration, guidance]

**Output Format:** [Markdown guidance with shell commands and text files containing query results, source URLs, and snippets.]

**Output Parameters:** [1D]

**Other Properties Related to Output:** [Accepts one to three search queries per invocation; each query has a 30-second timeout and depends on Skywork API availability.]

## Skill Version(s):

1.0.8 (source: server release evidence)

## Ethical Considerations:

Users should evaluate whether this skill is appropriate for their environment, review any generated or modified files before relying on them, and apply their organization's safety, security, and compliance requirements before deployment.
