Description
Research a topic via web search, auto-match a related GIF, and log structured notes to Bear using a customizable template.
README (SKILL.md)
Research Logger
Automates the full research-to-notes pipeline:
- Web Search → gather top sources on a topic
- Content Fetch → extract key findings from top results
- GIF Match → find a relevant GIF via gifgrep
- Template Fill → populate
notes/research_template.md - Bear Note → write the finished note via
grizzly
Usage
bash research_logger.sh "quantum computing trends" --tags "tech,quantum,2026"
Arguments
| Arg | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| topic | ✅ | Research topic (quoted string) |
| --tags | ❌ | Comma-separated tags for Bear note |
What it does
- Runs
web_searchvia OpenClaw tools for the topic - Fetches the top 3 results and extracts summaries
- Calls
gifgrepto find a matching GIF - Fills the template at
notes/research_template.md - Creates a Bear note with
grizzly create
Requirements
- grizzly CLI installed and Bear app running
- OpenClaw agent session (provides web_search, web_fetch, gifgrep tools)
- Template file at
notes/research_template.md
Notes
- The script is designed to be called by an OpenClaw agent turn, not standalone
- If gifgrep returns no results, the GIF section is omitted
- Template placeholders: {topic}, {date}, {tags}, {summary}, {finding1-3}, {links}, {media_alt}, {media_url}, {action1-3}
Usage Guidance
This appears safe to install if you want a script that researches a topic and creates Bear notes. Before using it, confirm you are comfortable sending topics to Brave/Giphy when API keys are configured, and verify that grizzly, curl, python3, and the notes template path are set up correctly.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: research-logger-v2
Version: 1.0.0
The research-logger skill is a legitimate automation tool for gathering web research and logging it to the Bear note-taking app via the grizzly CLI. The research_logger.sh script follows safe coding practices, such as sanitizing user input for filenames, using environment variables to pass data to Python for template processing (avoiding shell injection), and interacting only with the specified Brave and Giphy APIs. No evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection was found.
Capability Tags
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The research-to-GIF-to-Bear workflow matches the stated purpose, but SKILL.md describes OpenClaw web_search/gifgrep while research_logger.sh directly calls Brave Search and Giphy APIs.
Instruction Scope
The artifacts show an explicit user-invoked bash command with a topic argument and no prompt overrides, autonomous loops, or hidden background instructions.
Install Mechanism
Registry requirements list no binaries or environment variables, while SKILL.md requires grizzly and the script also relies on curl/python3 and optional provider API keys.
Credentials
External search/GIF calls and optional API keys are proportionate to the skill's purpose, but the provider data flow is under-described in the main skill documentation.
Persistence & Privilege
The script writes a markdown file under notes/ and creates a Bear note via grizzly; this is expected note-taking behavior but persists generated content locally.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install research-logger-v2 - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/research-logger-v2 - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
