Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

Skywork Search scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/constant.py, scripts/skywork_auth.py, scripts/web_search.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

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 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

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.

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
