Description
自动化多源信息收集与趋势分析，生成结构化研究报告并制定阶段性开发计划，助力技术探索与规划。
Usage Guidance
Review before installing. Use it only for topics you are comfortable sending to external sources and storing locally, avoid sensitive topics unless retention is acceptable, and do not enable cron or autonomous integrations without explicit limits. The developer should sanitize report filenames and document retention, deletion, and dependency requirements.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: research-engine
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is an automated research engine designed to gather information from external sources like GitHub, Moltbook, and general web search. It uses OpenClaw's built-in `web_fetch` and `web_search` tools for external access, which are assumed to be controlled and sandboxed by the agent environment. All generated research reports and browsing history are saved locally within the agent's designated workspace (`/home/vken/.openclaw/workspace/research`), as specified in `SKILL.md` and implemented in `research_engine.py`. There is no evidence of credential theft, data exfiltration to unauthorized external endpoints, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or prompt injection attempts to subvert the agent's core directives. The `subprocess` module is imported in `research_engine.py` but is not used.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Web, GitHub, Moltbook collection and Markdown report generation fit the stated research-engine purpose; the broader self-development framing and proactive exploration expand the expected behavior beyond simple user-requested reports.
Instruction Scope
The documentation says the agent can actively search without waiting for instructions and describes hourly, daily, and three-hour integrations, but does not define user approval, cadence limits, or stop controls for recurring network research.
Install Mechanism
The package has no install scripts or declared dependencies, but the Python code imports ambient platform modules and a Moltbook skill, so actual external access depends on capabilities outside this artifact.
Credentials
The skill uses expected web/search tools, but report filenames are derived directly from the research topic; topics containing absolute paths or separators could cause writes outside the intended research directory.
Persistence & Privilege
Reports are disclosed as saved under a research directory, and the code also appends browsing history with topics, source names, counts, and timestamps; this is purpose-aligned but may retain sensitive research interests.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install research-engine - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/research-engine - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.0
- Initial release of Research Engine Skill.
- Automates research by searching multiple sources (GitHub, Moltbook, Web), analyzing trends, and generating structured reports.
- Supports automated development plan generation (short, mid, long-term) based on findings.
- Provides command-line, Python import, and scheduled integration methods.
- Designed to break through information silos and enable continuous, active exploration and self-development.
