About this resource
ScienceClaw is an OpenClaw-based research agent package with scientific database Skills, persistent research memory, long-running sessions, analysis and writing components, and a local research gateway.
This page groups representative academic components by task; review the repository for the complete inventory.
Scientific literature and database research
Includes Skills for arXiv, PubMed, citations, discipline databases, literature reviews, and structured research retrieval.
- Typical inputs
- Research question, discipline, and source criteria
- Output
- Component-dependent search results, source records, citations, or literature notes.
Best for: Long-running research tasks that need several documented scientific sources.
Components for this task
Scientific analysis and visualisation
Provides components for statistics, scientific computing, data analysis, and publication-oriented plots.
- Typical inputs
- Dataset, variable definitions, analysis question, and method constraints
- Output
- A component-dependent analysis artifact, table, figure, or report.
Best for: Analysing checked data inside the configured research workspace.
Components for this task
Scientific writing and review
Includes Skills for research proposals, manuscript writing, literature review, peer review, and submission-related work.
- Typical inputs
- Verified evidence, results, notes, and target deliverable
- Output
- A component-dependent proposal, manuscript draft, review, or submission artifact.
Best for: Preparing a research deliverable within the persistent ScienceClaw workspace.

Limits and checks
Automated local setup
It can make broad changes to the local environment.
Read setup.sh, use an isolated machine or environment, and prefer manual installation when appropriate.
Persistent research memory
Sensitive or outdated project information may persist and affect later work.
Review storage, retention, access, and deletion controls before using confidential material.
Skill evolution
Locally evolved instructions may no longer match the reviewed repository.
Version and inspect generated Skills and do not treat them as Hub-reviewed components.
More boundaries
- ScienceClaw is a full self-hosted agent package, so it is not suitable when you only need one isolated research Skill.
- Its scientific components cannot access databases, software, or data without separately configured and authorised dependencies.
- Persistent memory and self-generated Skills do not guarantee that future research output remains correct or within the original scope.
