SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill enables you to schedule recurring research tasks and automated checks, reducing manual monitoring and ensuring consistent data collection.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Time-based scheduling: Define recurring tasks (e.g., daily literature checks, data collection, report generation) and let ResearchClaw trigger them automatically.
  • Task management via CLI: Create, list, inspect, run, pause, resume, and delete scheduled jobs with simple commands.
  • Use Case: Imagine you want a daily digest of new papers; configure a cron job to fetch papers and generate a summary every morning.

Quick Start

Schedule a daily literature check to run at 09:00 using the cron interface.

FAQPage Schema
How do I schedule recurring research tasks to run automatically?▼

You can schedule recurring research tasks by using time-based scheduling to define automated jobs, such as daily literature checks or data collection, which the system triggers automatically at specified times.

Can I manage automated literature checks via the command line?▼

Yes, automated literature checks can be fully managed via a CLI-driven interface that supports create, list, inspect, run, pause, resume, and delete operations for scheduled jobs.

What is the best way to generate a daily digest of new research papers?▼

The best way to generate a daily digest is to configure a scheduled job that automatically fetches new papers and generates a summary report at a specified time each day.

Does this approach require any external dependencies for task management?▼

No external dependencies are required for task management, as the structured task definitions and safe execution workflows are enforced entirely within the native scheduling environment.

How do I pause and resume scheduled data collection jobs?▼

You can pause and resume scheduled data collection jobs by executing the specific pause and resume commands provided in the CLI-driven task management interface.

When should I not use time-based scheduling for research workflows?▼

You should not use time-based scheduling for research workflows if your tasks require manual monitoring, lack structured task definitions, or need immediate event-driven execution rather than periodic triggers.
