Description
Research a topic via web search, auto-match a relevant GIF, and log results as a Bear note using a configurable template.
README (SKILL.md)

Research Logger

Automates the research-logging workflow:

  1. Search — Uses web_search / web_fetch to gather content on a topic.
  2. GIF Match — Uses gifgrep to find a relevant GIF for visual context.
  3. Note Creation — Fills the notes/research_template.md template and writes a Bear note via grizzly.

Quick Start

bash scripts/research_logger.sh "quantum computing" "research,quantum"

Script: scripts/research_logger.sh

Argument Required Description
$1 — topic Research topic (quoted)
$2 — tags Comma-separated Bear tags (default: research)

What it does

  1. Calls web_search for the topic, fetches top results.
  2. Searches gifgrep for a matching GIF.
  3. Reads notes/research_template.md, substitutes placeholders with gathered data.
  4. Creates a Bear note with the rendered content and tags.

Template

The template lives at notes/research_template.md (workspace root) and uses {placeholder} syntax:

Placeholder Source
{topic} CLI argument
{date} Current date (YYYY-MM-DD)
{tags} CLI argument
{summary} LLM-generated summary of search results
{finding1}{finding3} Top 3 key findings
{links} Source URLs from search
{media_alt} / {media_url} GIF from gifgrep
{action1}{action3} Suggested action items

Requirements

  • grizzly — Bear CLI (go install github.com/tylerwince/grizzly/cmd/grizzly@latest)
  • Bear app running on macOS
  • Internet access for search and GIF lookup
Usage Guidance
Install only if you are comfortable with web/GIF lookups and automatic Bear note creation. Before using it broadly, the author should fix the unsafe sed-based templating so untrusted search results cannot alter the command script.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The code aligns with the advertised workflow: it searches the web, looks up a GIF, fills a template, and creates a Bear note. Users should notice that this involves network lookups and local note creation.
Instruction Scope
User input and web/GIF results are inserted directly into sed replacement expressions without escaping, creating a material unsafe templating concern.
Install Mechanism
Registry metadata says there are no required binaries or install spec, but the skill documentation/code rely on external tools such as grizzly, gifgrep, jq, web_search, and a workspace template.
Credentials
Internet access and Bear app access are proportionate to the stated purpose, but private topics will be sent to search/GIF tooling.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill persists generated content as Bear notes, which is expected for the purpose. No background persistence, autostart, or self-propagation is shown.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install research-logger-tool
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /research-logger-tool
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
