FinResearchClaw#

Use this skill to operate the FinResearchClaw repo as a finance-research engine.

Execution preference#

Always prefer these execution modes in order:

1. Codex first
   • Prefer Codex / ACP Codex for repo-driven execution, code edits, and iterative finance research runs.
2. Claude Code second
   • Use Claude Code if Codex is unavailable or the user explicitly asks for Claude.
3. API mode last
   • Use direct researchclaw CLI / config / API-style execution only as fallback when coding-agent execution is unavailable or unsuitable.

Do not choose API mode first when Codex or Claude Code is available.

Core workflow#

1. Ensure the FinResearchClaw repo exists locally.
   • Default repo path: ~/.openclaw/workspace/AutoResearchClaw
   • GitHub repo: https://github.com/ChipmunkRPA/FinResearchClaw
2. Select the closest finance workflow:
   • event study
   • factor model
   • accounting forecast error
   • accounting panel regression
   • valuation / investment research
3. Prefer a coding-agent run path first.
4. Fall back to direct CLI/config mode only if coding-agent paths are unavailable.
5. Use example configs and starter plans when they fit.

Local helper scripts#

Use these scripts when helpful:

• scripts/install_or_update.sh — clone or update the repo locally
• scripts/choose_runner.sh — print preferred execution order and basic availability
• scripts/run_finance_example.sh — launch a chosen example in direct CLI mode

When the skill is installed from ClawHub, executable bits on bundled shell scripts may not be preserved on every system. If a direct script call fails with permission denied, run it with bash, for example:

bash

bash scripts/choose_runner.sh
bash scripts/install_or_update.sh

Repo paths and examples#

If needed, inspect:

• references/examples.md

It documents the main example configs, starter experiment plans, and preferred mode selection.
