ResearchClaw

Experiment 24/7 while you sleep. Research assistant for projects.

⚠️ Alpha Release — ResearchClaw is in active development. Core loop works, but expect rough edges. Bug reports and feedback welcome: GitHub Issues

Alpha Status

This project is currently alpha and intended for fast iteration.

Known limitations:

• New-experiment loop behavior is still being hardened.
• Abort handling is not yet uniform across every state.
• Autopilot transition audit logging is still being refined.

Install

pipx install researchclaw
pipx ensurepath          # one-time: adds ~/.local/bin to PATH

Then restart your shell. This works everywhere — bare terminal, conda environments, virtualenvs.

Alternative (if pipx is unavailable):

pip install researchclaw

Note: pip install places researchclaw inside your current environment. This may cause dependency conflicts with project packages. Prefer pipx + ensurepath for an isolated install.

Fallback (if researchclaw command is not on PATH):

python -m researchclaw .

Troubleshooting

• researchclaw: command not found after install — Run pipx ensurepath and restart your shell. This adds ~/.local/bin to your PATH so the command is available in all environments, including conda.

Usage

researchclaw .
researchclaw /path/to/project
researchclaw status

What it does NOT do

• Not a paper writing tool — it runs experiments, not LaTeX
