About this resource

Dr. Claw is a full-stack research workspace with a web interface, CLI, built-in Skills, literature feeds, agent backends, experiment workflows, paper-writing tools, and optional autonomous research packs.

This page groups representative academic components by task; review the repository for the complete inventory.

01

Literature discovery and paper analysis

Provides literature feeds and Skills for finding papers, analysing papers, extracting images, and surveying prior work.

Typical inputs
Research topic, source filters, or paper files
Output
Paper records, analysis notes, extracted figures, or a literature survey.

Best for: Collecting and examining research sources inside one workspace.

Components for this task

paper-finder

Finds papers relevant to a research topic.

paper-analyzer

Analyses a selected paper inside the project workflow.

02

Experiment planning and execution

Contains Skills and optional tool packs for planning, running, monitoring, and analysing computational experiments.

Typical inputs
Research goal, codebase, data, compute, and evaluation criteria
Output
Experiment plans, code changes, logs, metrics, and analysis artifacts.

Best for: Computational projects that need an integrated research workspace and agent backend.

Components for this task

aris-experiment-plan

Creates an experiment plan for the ARIS workflow.

aris-run-experiment

Runs an experiment through the ARIS workflow.

Suggested workflow requests (2)

Read .claude/skills/inno-experiment-analysis/SKILL.md and follow it to analyse my results.

Create an experiment plan for this project before changing any code.

Adapted into complete requests from official trigger wording in README.md.

03

Paper and presentation production

Includes Skills for research writing, paper figures, review loops, slides, and posters.

Typical inputs
Verified findings, manuscript materials, figures, and target format
Output
A component-dependent manuscript draft, figure, slide deck, poster, or review report.

Best for: Preparing research deliverables from checked project artifacts.

Components for this task

aris-paper-write

Drafts paper content from project artifacts.

aris-paper-slides

Creates research slides from project materials.

Use boundaries

Limits and checks

Broad local access

A task can change project files or execute code.

Use a dedicated workspace, version control, and the narrowest permissions and backend needed.

Provider costs and data handling

Costs, rate limits, retention, and model availability vary.

Check provider terms and avoid confidential data without institutional approval.

Autonomous tool packs

Long runs may consume compute and propagate errors across stages.

Approve stage boundaries and inspect code, logs, results, and claims before continuing.

More boundaries
  • Dr. Claw is a full research application, so it is not suitable when you only need one small Skill with no local service or agent backend.
  • The application cannot run experiments or access sources without the required code, data, compute, accounts, and permissions.
  • Agent-generated experiments, papers, and reviews do not establish novelty, validity, reproducibility, or submission readiness.
