What is researchclaw?

A skill for AutoResearchClaw, an automated research pipeline that turns a topic into a LaTeX research paper with experiments, citations, reviews, and citation checks.

Use it to configure, run, monitor, resume, validate, or troubleshoot an AutoResearchClaw paper-generation pipeline.

It organizes many research stages and provides commands for setup, progress checks, resuming, and diagnosing failures.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00074	$0.03202
Opus 5	$0.00037	$0.01601
Sonnet 5	$0.00015	$0.00640
Haiku 4.5	$0.00007	$0.00320

Security

Grade B, and why

researchclaw scanned grade B with 2 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (scripts/check-prereqs.sh, scripts/notify-completion.sh, scripts/post-run-check.sh, …), 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

4. **LaTeX**: Check `pdflatex --version`. If missing, suggest `sudo apt-get install texlive-full` (Linux) or `brew install --cask mactex` (macOS). **Be honest: this is a large download (2-4 GB).**

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 292 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ResearchClaw Skill — Autonomous Research Pipeline

This skill wraps AutoResearchClaw, a 23-stage pipeline that takes a research topic and produces a conference-grade LaTeX paper with real citations, sandbox-executed experiments, multi-agent peer review, and citation verification.

Honesty policy: This skill does not fabricate capabilities. Every command maps to real upstream functionality. If something fails, the skill reports the actual error and suggests concrete fixes — it never pretends the problem does not exist.

Commands

Command	Purpose
`/researchclaw`	Show help and available subcommands
`/researchclaw:setup`	Check and install all prerequisites (Python, Docker, LaTeX, pip packages)
`/researchclaw:config`	Interactive config wizard — generates a working `config.yaml`
`/researchclaw:run`	Start a research pipeline run
`/researchclaw:status`	Check the status of a running or completed pipeline
`/researchclaw:resume`	Resume a pipeline from the last successful stage
`/researchclaw:diagnose`	Auto-detect and explain common failures
`/researchclaw:validate`	Validate config, dependencies, and connectivity before running

/researchclaw — Help

When invoked without a subcommand, display this command list and a one-line status summary:

Check if researchclaw CLI is installed: which researchclaw
Check if config.yaml exists in the current directory
Print the command table above
Suggest the most logical next step based on what is missing

/researchclaw:setup — Prerequisites Installation

MANDATORY: Ask the user before installing anything. Present what is missing and get explicit approval.

Run the prerequisite check script:

bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/check-prereqs.sh"

The script checks each dependency and outputs a JSON report. Based on the report:

Python 3.11+: Check python3 --version. If missing or too old, suggest pyenv install 3.11 or system package manager.
pip / uv: Check pip3 --version or uv --version. Suggest uv if not present (faster).
Docker: Check docker info. If Docker daemon is not running, tell the user honestly — this skill cannot start Docker for you on most systems.
LaTeX: Check pdflatex --version. If missing, suggest sudo apt-get install texlive-full (Linux) or brew install --cask mactex (macOS). Be honest: this is a large download (2-4 GB).

AutoResearchClaw: Check pip3 show researchclaw. If not installed:

pip3 install researchclaw

Or from source:

git clone https://github.com/aiming-lab/AutoResearchClaw.git
cd AutoResearchClaw
pip3 install -e ".[all]"

Files

What ships with it

10 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.

researchclaw is a skill published in the GitHub repository OthmanAdi/researchclaw-skill (20 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 74 tokens to every session and 3,202 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (asks for root, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
