Description
Conduct AI-led research with autonomous literature review, hypothesis generation, analysis, and synthesis while human provides vision.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be a legitimate autonomous research workflow, but there are documentation contradictions and operational risks you should address before installing:
- Confirm network requirements: the README claims 'Works offline' and 'No external dependencies' but the instructions repeatedly call web_search/web_fetch and mandate fetching many sources. Ask the skill author or maintainer whether the agent will actually perform online searches and whether it can function without network access.
- Data-sensitivity check: avoid giving the agent any sensitive inputs (PHI, proprietary documents) unless you fully trust how the platform's web_search/web_fetch tools handle and store fetched data; the skill is designed to proactively pull external sources which could cause unintended data transmission.
- Human checkpoints: enforce the three mandatory stop points in practice (clarification, plan approval, final report) and consider adding explicit confirmation steps before starting large automated fetch/analysis cycles.
- Reproducibility/storage: clarify where the 'reproducibility package' and fetched sources are stored, how long they are retained, and who can access them.
- Rate/resource controls: because the skill instructs many web searches and fetches, limit or monitor the number of cycles and network requests to avoid unexpected bandwidth, cost, or scraping of third-party sites.
- Validate citations and provenance in outputs: the skill mandates APA citations and cross-verification—spot-check early outputs for proper sourcing and accuracy.
If the author can explain/resolve the offline/no-dependency claims and confirm safe handling of fetched data, the inconsistencies would be addressed. Until then, proceed cautiously and avoid exposing sensitive data to the skill.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: vibe-research-cn
Version: 1.0.0
The 'vibe-research-cn' skill bundle is a comprehensive framework for conducting AI-led academic research. The code and instructions (SKILL.md, README.md, pipeline.md) focus entirely on methodology, literature synthesis, and citation standards, utilizing standard OpenClaw tools like web_search and web_fetch for their intended purposes. There are no indicators of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection attacks designed to subvert the agent's behavior.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill's name, description, and instructions consistently describe an autonomous literature-review and analysis pipeline. Asking the agent to run web_search/web_fetch and assemble reproducibility artifacts is appropriate for the stated purpose. However, README and other files claim 'No external dependencies' and 'Works offline,' which contradicts the repeated use of network fetch tools and 100+ source retrieval—this is an important incoherence to resolve.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md, pipeline.md, example.md and quickref instruct the agent to perform broad web_search and web_fetch cycles (count=20, 100+ sources minimum), to 'pull additional sources' proactively, and to 'execute ALL cycles' autonomously. The instructions do not tell the agent to read unrelated local files or environment secrets, which is good, but they grant broad discretion to fetch and aggregate large amounts of external content—this is expected for research but increases privacy and data-exfiltration risk if the agent is given access to sensitive inputs (e.g., PHI). The offline/no-external-dependency claim in README conflicts with these explicit network operations.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec, no binaries, and no code files. No on-disk installation or archive downloads are requested, which is low-risk from an install vector perspective.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, no credentials, and no config paths. That aligns with the skill's claimed behavior (uses platform search/fetch tools). There are no obvious requests for unrelated secrets or platform tokens.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and default autonomous invocation are set. The skill does not request permanent presence or elevated privileges, nor does it instruct modifying other skills or global agent settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install vibe-research-cn - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/vibe-research-cn - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
