What it does
Research Claw is an agent skill from AlphaLab-USTC/ResearchClaw. Complete AI research assistant with 6 core capabilities: paper discovery, deep reading notes, reading list management, research taste learning, idea generation, and paper writing. Trigger words: 论文推荐, paper recommendation, arXiv, 读论文, paper notes, DNL, 推荐今日论文, 每日论文, 帮我读一下, paper scout, 论文速读, 帮我安装 ResearchClaw, research claws, researchclaw, 加入待读, 我的论文列表, reading list, 标记已读, 更新我的研究画像, 我的研究画像, research profile, 给我一些研究灵感, idea generator, 跨论文分析, 帮我写论文, paper writing, 论文大纲, 写引言, rebuttal.
Its SKILL.md is about 580 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 29 other files (for example `README.md`, `docs/config.md` and `docs/install.md`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Deep research, Academic paper search and Scientific writing. It works with arXiv. The repository describes itself as: 上朝式科研：AI-powered research workflow showcase. The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9d64c4b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Research Claw loads about 578 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 125 tokens; SKILL.md has 142 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
