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 SKYWORKAPIKEY to be configured in OpenClaw.

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:

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.

Example workflow

User asks: "What are the latest developments in quantum computing?"

  1. Run the search with focused queries:

``bash python3 <skill-path>/scripts/web_search.py \ "quantum computing breakthroughs 2026" \ "quantum computing industry news latest" ``

  1. Read the result files
  2. Synthesize findings into a clear, sourced summary for the user

Limitations

  • Maximum 3 queries per invocation (the script caps it)
  • Each query has a 30-second timeout
  • Results depend on the Skywork search API availability
