grok-research
Investigate a topic with Grok 4.1 via OpenRouter and generate a Markdown report with a timeline, verifiable claims, and sources (web/X). Use it when the user says “investiga…”, “haz research…”, “averigua…”, “búscame fuentes…”, “research…”, “look into…”, or when you need fast, source-backed research (news, rumors, product/policy changes, competitive context).
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill grok-research --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Grok Research (OpenRouter + Grok 4.1) This skill automates a source-backed “deep dive” on a recent topic using Grok 4.1 via OpenRouter. Output is a Markdown report with citations. ## Quick start 1) Export the API key: ```bash export OPENROUTER_API_KEY="..." ``` 2) Run the script: ```bash node skills/grok-research/scripts/grok-research.js --topic "What's going on with …" --out report.md ``` By default it tries to use `x-ai/grok-4.1-fast:online`. If your account/model uses a different id, pass `--model` or set `GROK_RESEARCH_MODEL`. ## Environment variables - `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` (required) - `GROK_RESEARCH_MODEL` (optional) (default: `x-ai/grok-4.1-fast:online`) - `OPENROUTER_SITE_URL` (optional) (recommended header by OpenRouter) - `OPENROUTER_APP_NAME` (optional) (recommended header by OpenRouter) ## Useful flags (script) - `--topic "..."`: topic to research (or first positional argument) - `--out report.md`: saves the report and prints the resulting path to stdout - `--model <id>`: forces the OpenRouter model id - `--max-tokens 2200`, `--temperature 0.2`: length/style controls ## Recommended workflow (agent) 1) Clarify the goal: “do you want an executive summary or a decision-m

Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
