### Sensor: Search

**Use search_web for:**
- Current information from websites, news, documentation
- Real-time data (stock prices, weather, recent events)
- Finding information from specific domains
- Verifying current facts

**Use search_x for:**
- What people are saying on X/Twitter about a topic
- Trending discussions and social sentiment
- Real-time reactions to events
- Posts from specific X handles/users

### Actuator: Generate

**Use generate_image for:**
- Creating images from text descriptions
- Generating multiple variations of a concept
- Creating images with specific aspect ratios

**Use edit_image for:**
- Modifying existing images with natural language
- Style transfer, color changes, adding/removing elements
- Combining up to 3 source images

**Use generate_video for:**
- Creating short video clips (1-15 seconds)
- Animating still images (image-to-video)
- Text-to-video generation

### Do NOT Use For

- Fetching a specific X post by URL (use wip-x fetch_post instead)
- Posting tweets (use wip-x post_tweet)
- Reading bookmarks (use wip-x get_bookmarks)
- Historical facts that won't change
- Mathematical calculations
