OpenLAIR/dr-claw

What it solves

Dr. Claw addresses the fragmentation and manual effort involved in the research lifecycle. It provides a unified, end-to-end workspace that manages everything from initial literature surveys and ideation to experiment execution, paper drafting, and final presentation, helping researchers maintain scientific rigor while increasing iteration speed.

How it works

Dr. Claw acts as a central hub that connects your local machine to various AI agents (such as Claude Code, Gemini CLI, or models via OpenRouter). You define a research brief in the chat interface, and the system uses a library of over 100 research-specific skills to plan and execute tasks. It manages your files, Git version control, and research artifacts locally, allowing you to monitor progress, inspect generated LaTeX math, and run experiments without leaving the workspace.

Who it’s for

It is designed for researchers and builders who want to automate repetitive scientific tasks while keeping full control over their data and compute resources. It is ideal for those who prefer a local-first approach and want to integrate AI agents into their existing research workflows.

Highlights

• End-to-End Research Lab: A structured dashboard to track progress across the entire pipeline, including survey reports, ideation, experiment code, and publication-ready drafts.
• Auto Research: One-click autonomous execution of research pipelines that can run while you are away.
• Model-Agnostic: Compatible with Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, and hundreds of other models via OpenRouter.
• Integrated News Feed: A unified dashboard to monitor arXiv, HuggingFace, GitHub, and social platforms without leaving your workspace.
• Local-First: Runs on your own machine with your own GPUs, ensuring your data remains private and under your control.
