What it does

Research Workflows is an agent skill from ymx10086/ResearchClaw. Manage project-centric research workflows, claims, evidence, notes, and experiments. Use when the task should be persisted into ResearchClaw's structured research graph instead of remaining a transient chat reply.

Its SKILL.md is about 350 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `__init__.py`).

The repository describes itself as: ResearchClaw is a personal AI assistant built for research: fast to set up, easy to run locally or in the cloud, and ready to integrate with the chat apps you already use. With…

When your agent uses it

  • The task should be persisted into ResearchClaws structured research graph instead of remaining a transient chat reply

Example prompts

  • “/research-workflows”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1baaa92. 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

    Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.

    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 Workflows loads about 345 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 89 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~58
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~345

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 89 words (~345 tokens).

“Use this skill when the user is working on a long-running project and the result should be persisted into the structured research system.”
