Dr. Claw: Open-Source AI Scientist Workspace Wrapping Coding Agents for Auditable Research
Dingjie Song · hf · 2026-09-08
Dr. Claw, an open-source "AI scientist workspace" for vibe research, is now available on Hugging Face.
- Problem: CLI coding agents like Claude Code and Gemini CLI can read/write files and sustain long sessions, but end-to-end research still fragments across chat tools, IDEs, terminals, and writing environments, with key decisions rarely preserved.
- Design: Rather than adding another autonomous agent, Dr. Claw wraps existing coding-agent executors in a controllable, auditable human-in-the-loop workflow, using persistent state objects, a reusable skill library, and multi-executor coordination to link human decisions to AI execution in one traceable, recoverable loop.
- Evaluation: Against a bare CLI agent sharing the same backend executor, Dr. Claw scores higher on research completeness while persisting an auditable, recoverable process trail.
- Open-sourced at github.com/OpenLAIR/dr-claw under AGPL-3.0 with GPL-3.0 upstream components.
