ClawPhD

CLI tool (arxivterminal) for fetching, searching, and managing arXiv papers locally. Use when working with arXiv papers using the arxivterminal command - fetching new papers by category, searching the local database, viewing papers from specific dates, or managing the local paper database.

Fetch arXiv papers by date range and topics, rank them for research value, and produce introduction digests. Use when the user wants a literature sweep, daily or weekly paper triage, or a written overview of the best papers in a niche — without relying on the arxivterminal local database.

Search and analyze research papers, find related work, summarize key ideas. Use when user says "find papers", "related work", "literature review", "what does this paper say", or needs to understand academic papers.

AI paper reviewer. Use when the user says 'review my paper', 'help me review this paper', '审稿', 'give me feedback on my paper', 'check my manuscript', 'evaluate this paper for NeurIPS/ICLR/EuroSys'. Accepts PDF files and produces structured narrative reviews with venue-specific dimensional scores and Accept/Reject recommendation.

Convert a local paper PDF to structured Markdown and export all figures as PNG + SVG + drawio. Attempts editable figure reconstruction via the built-in autofigure pipeline (SAM3 → RMBG-2.0 → VLM → SVG), falling back to a layered-SVG wrapper when API keys are unavailable. Use when the user wants to parse a paper PDF, extract its text as Markdown, or get editable/exportable figure assets.

Convert raster figure images into editable DrawIO files using SAM3 segmentation, RMBG-2.0 background removal, and multimodal LLM drawio generation.

Autonomous ML research loop — modify train.py, run 5-min GPU experiments, track val_bpb, iterate overnight. Invoke when the user wants to run self-directed architecture search on the autoresearch repo.

Automatically convert arXiv papers to well-structured Markdown documentation. Invoke with an arXiv ID to fetch materials (LaTeX source or PDF), convert to Markdown, and generate implementation-ready reference documentation with preserved mathematics and section structure.

Generate publication-quality academic diagrams and plots from paper methodology text using optimize_input, plan_diagram, generate_image, and critique_image tools.

Remote-control tmux sessions for interactive CLIs by sending keystrokes and scraping pane output.

Find and extract real figures from influential academic papers as editable references (PNG + SVG + PowerPoint). Use when the user wants to see how other papers draw architecture diagrams, evaluation plots, or any other figure type — NOT for generating new diagrams from scratch. Requires only search_influential_papers + extract_paper_figures; no Brave key, no Google key needed.

Generate an academic paper project webpage from PDF using parse_paper, match_template, render_html, review_html_visual, and extract_table_html.

Schedule reminders and recurring tasks.

Interact with GitHub using the `gh` CLI. Use `gh issue`, `gh pr`, `gh run`, and `gh api` for issues, PRs, CI runs, and advanced queries.

Summarize or extract text/transcripts from URLs, podcasts, and local files (great fallback for “transcribe this YouTube/video”).

Get current weather and forecasts (no API key required).
