## Description

Consult or search with xAI Grok from a GPT-led Codex conversation without switching the main model. Use when the user asks Grok to answer, review, challenge, compare, provide a second opinion, search the web, search X/Twitter, find recent or fixed-date posts, decode timestamps embedded in X status IDs, research current topics, or invoke Grok while staying in the current GPT conversation.

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

# Grok Consult

Keep GPT as the controlling model. Use Grok only as a read-only external advisor, then evaluate and synthesize its response yourself.

## 安全与额度默认

1. 第一顺位始终是官方 Grok CLI，通过 `~/.grok/auth.json` 的账号 OAuth 使用 Grok 订阅自带额度。
2. 所有 X 关键词搜索都先使用官方 Grok CLI 原生 `x_search`。只有第一顺位明确出现账号额度或使用上限耗尽时，`search_x_with_grok` 才进入匿名 FxTwitter；FxTwitter 仍失败或零结果时，必须先取得当前任务明确授权并传入 `allow_authenticated_fallback=true`，才能继续 `OpenCLI → xreach`。后三者只是公开 X 内容读取器，不是 Grok 模型，返回的数据由 GPT 解释。
3. `ask_grok`、`review_with_grok`、`challenge_with_grok` 只使用官方 Grok CLI 账号额度；OpenCLI/xreach 不能替代普通模型咨询。
4. 登录失效、401/403、权限错误、输入错误、超时、网络错误、服务异常或官方 CLI 的搜索证据无法核验均不得触发静默回退；它们不是“额度用完”。
5. OpenCLI 与 xreach 只允许读取，不得点赞、转发、关注、发帖、私信或改动账号；避免批量、高频和长时间分页。

## Choose a tool

- Use `ask_grok` for an independent answer, alternative framing, or second opinion.
- Use `review_with_grok` to review a draft, plan, analysis, or proposed answer against a stated goal.
- Use `challenge_with_grok` to stress-test a claim, expose assumptions, and generate counterarguments.
- Use `search_x_with_grok` for every X/Twitter keyword search. It first launches the official Grok CLI with native `x_search`; only explicit account quota exhaustion may enter anonymous FxTwitter. If that route is unavailable or empty, obtain explicit current-task authorization before setting `allow_authenticated_fallback=true` for OpenCLI/xreach. It extracts candidate status URLs, decodes the timestamps embedded in their Snowflake IDs, converts them to the requested timezone, and filters them to a rolling window or fixed calendar date.
