autoresearchclaw-integration（自动研究爪整合）

ResearchClaw

AutoResearchClaw is a fully autonomous 23-stage research pipeline that transforms a single research idea into a conference-ready academic paper with real literature from OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar, and arXiv.

Quick Start

Basic Usage

User says: "Research [topic]"

Agent workflow:

1. Check if AutoResearchClaw is installed (which researchclaw)
2. If not installed: clone, setup venv, install with pip install -e .
3. Copy config.researchclaw.example.yaml → config.arc.yaml
4. Ask user for LLM provider choice (OpenAI-compatible or ACP agent)
5. Configure with API keys or ACP agent selection
6. Run: researchclaw run --topic "[topic]" --auto-approve
7. Monitor progress, return results from artifacts/rc-*/deliverables/

Configuration

Ask user for LLM backend preference:

Option 1: OpenAI-compatible API

llm:
  provider: "openai-compatible"
  base_url: "https://api.openai.com/v1"
  api_key_env: "OPENAI_API_KEY"  # or ask for key
  primary_model: "gpt-4o"
  fallback_models: ["gpt-4o-mini"]

Option 2: ACP Agent (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini)

llm:
  provider: "acp"
  acp:
    agent: "claude"  # or "codex", "gemini", etc.
    cwd: "."

Installation

Check Installation

which researchclaw || echo "Not installed"

Install AutoResearchClaw

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/aiming-lab/AutoResearchClaw.git
cd AutoResearchClaw
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .

Verify Installation

researchclaw --version

Running Research

Basic Command

researchclaw run --topic "Your research idea" --auto-approve

With Specific Config

researchclaw run --config config.arc.yaml --topic "Your research idea" --auto-approve

Output Location

Results in: ~/AutoResearchClaw/artifacts/rc-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS-<hash>/deliverables/

Deliverables

After completion, the agent should:

1. Check deliverables/ directory contents
2. Present key outputs:

- paper.tex - Conference-ready LaTeX - paper_draft.md - Markdown paper - references.bib - Real citations - verification_report.json - Citation integrity check - runs/ - Experimental code and results - charts/ - Generated figures - reviews.md - Multi-agent peer review

1. Copy/present relevant sections to user

Hardware Awareness

AutoResearchClaw auto-detects:

• NVIDIA CUDA (GPU)
• Apple MPS (M1/M2/M3)
• CPU-only fallback

Adapts code generation, imports, and experiment scale accordingly.

Quality Features

• Real Citations: OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar, arXiv - no hallucinated references
• 4-Layer Verification: arXiv ID → CrossRef DOI → Semantic Scholar → LLM relevance
• Multi-Agent Debate: Hypothesis generation, result analysis, peer review
• Self-Healing: NaN/Inf detection, automatic code repair
• Conference Templates: NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML support

OpenClaw Bridge Integration (Optional)

Enable in config.arc.yaml:

openclaw_bridge:
  use_cron: true          # Scheduled research runs
  use_message: true       # Progress notifications (Discord/Slack/Telegram)
  use_memory: true        # Cross-session knowledge persistence
  use_sessions_spawn: true # Parallel sub-sessions
  use_web_fetch: true     # Live web search during literature review
  use_browser: false      # Browser-based paper collection

MetaClaw Integration (Optional)

For cross-run learning:

metaclaw_bridge:
  enabled: true
  skills_dir: "~/.metaclaw/skills"
  lesson_to_skill:
    enabled: true
    min_severity: "warning"
    max_skills_per_run: 5

Troubleshooting

Installation Issues

# Check Python version
python3 --version  # Requires 3.8+

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

LLM API Errors

• Verify OPENAI_API_KEY is set
• Check API endpoint is accessible
• Fallback models configured correctly

Sandbox Issues

• Ensure Python path is correct: .venv/bin/python
• Check allowed imports in config
• Adjust memory limits if needed

Literature Collection Failures

• Check internet connectivity
• Semantic Scholar API key optional (higher rate limits)
• OpenAlex should work without API key

Advanced Usage

Specify Research Domains

researchclaw run --topic "Your topic" --domains ml,nlp --auto-approve

Target Specific Conference

export:
  target_conference: "neurips_2025"  # neurips_2025 | iclr_2026 | icml_2026

Custom Prompts

prompts:
  custom_file: "custom_prompts.yaml"

Comparison with Superpowers

• ResearchClaw: Academic research, literature review, paper writing, experimental validation
• Superpowers: Software development, TDD, code review, production code

Use ResearchClaw for research/paper generation. Use Superpowers for production software implementation. They complement each other when researching then implementing findings.
