ResearchClaw

Manage project-centric research workflows, claims, evidence, notes, and experiments. Use when the task should be persisted into ResearchClaw's structured research graph instead of remaining a transient chat reply.

Search arXiv, inspect paper metadata, and download papers by keyword or arXiv ID. Use when the user wants fresh arXiv search results, paper detail lookup, or direct PDF/source downloads.

Explore citation relationships around a known paper to find related work, cited papers, and citing papers. Use when the user asks for follow-up reading around a seed paper.

Create and manage scheduled tasks that run automatically — periodic literature checks, data collection, report generation, and recurring notifications. Use when the user wants to schedule, list, pause, resume, or delete cron jobs via researchclaw cron.

Log experiments, list past runs, and compare experiment metadata or metrics. Use when the user wants lightweight experiment tracking inside ResearchClaw.

Generate publication-style charts from structured data. Use when the user wants a figure, chart, or visualization for research results.

Generate a structured literature review outline from a topic and optional paper set. Use when the user wants a review plan or survey structure.

Summarize a paper at brief, standard, or detailed depth. Use when the user wants a fast summary of a PDF, URL, or arXiv paper.

Read, create, edit, merge, split, and analyze PDF documents — with special focus on academic papers, forms, and research reports. Use when the user asks to extract text or tables from PDFs, create new PDFs, merge/split files, fill forms, or OCR scanned documents.

Create, search, and organize structured research notes with tags and paper references. Use when the user wants persistent notes inside the research workspace.

Launch a visible (headed) Chromium browser for interactive research tasks, demos, or debugging. Use when the user explicitly asks to see a real browser window, watch page interactions, or needs manual login/CAPTCHA handling.

Use a visible browser to automatically set up ResearchClaw's DingTalk channel integration — creating an enterprise app, configuring the bot, and publishing. Use when the user wants to connect DingTalk, create a DingTalk bot, or configure DingTalk channel credentials.

Create, read, and edit Word documents — research papers, reports, proposals, and manuscripts. Use when the user asks to generate, modify, or analyze .docx files, convert .doc to .docx, or work with tracked changes and comments.

Read, preview, and summarize text-based files — source code, configs, logs, data files, and plain text documents. Use when the user asks to read, inspect, or summarize local .txt, .md, .json, .yaml, .csv, .log, or source code files.

Read, search, and organize emails via the himalaya CLI (IMAP/SMTP). Use when the user asks to check email, search messages, list folders, download attachments, or manage email flags and folders.

Fetch and summarize the latest news from trusted sources across politics, finance, society, world, tech, sports, and entertainment. Use when the user asks for latest news, headlines, or news in a specific category.

Create, edit, and analyze PowerPoint presentations — research talks, conference presentations, lecture slides, and poster summaries. Use when the user asks to generate, modify, or inspect .pptx files, convert slides to images, or design presentation layouts.

Create, edit, and analyze Excel spreadsheets — research data, experimental results, statistical analysis, and data visualization. Use when the user asks to build, modify, or analyze .xlsx files, create financial models, work with formulas, or generate data reports.
