What is it?
ScienceClaw is an agent system for scientific tasks that accumulates reusable improvements. Each task is solved as a typed, executable workflow whose ports carry type, shape, unit and provenance information. When a repair reproduces under a clean environment reset, it is turned into a linked Skill (a strategy patch) and Operator (a typed, executable capability), committed together.
An update persists only if source replay reproduces and uses it, and independent validation tasks strictly improve within budget. Updates are versioned snapshots that users promote manually and can roll back. The repository includes a scientific tool library (42 modules, including forecasting, segmentation, protein and molecular models), a discipline skill set covering 23 research areas, and a gateway plugin for OpenClaw. A companion benchmark, ScienceClaw-Eval, is hosted on Hugging Face.
Key features
- 01Workflows are typed graphs with schema-checked ports and fingerprinted nodes, so edits rerun only affected steps.
- 02Reproduced repairs are split into Skill patches and Operators and committed as one bundle.
- 03Candidate updates pass a replay-and-validation gate before persisting.
- 04Every update is a versioned snapshot that can be promoted or rolled back via CLI.
- 05Includes a 42-module scientific tool library and discipline skills for 23 research areas.
- 06Exposes agent tools through an OpenClaw gateway plugin and a line-delimited JSON RPC interface.
Use cases
- Running multi-step scientific analyses such as forecasting, segmentation or literature retrieval with verifiable outputs.
- Building a reusable library of domain-specific workflows that improves as tasks are solved.
- Benchmarking continual self-evolution of AI agents on scientific tasks.
- Integrating scientific tool execution into an OpenClaw-based assistant.
