FinResearchClaw

name: finresearchclaw description: "Finance, accounting, and investment research automation via the FinResearchClaw repo. Use when asked to run autonomous finance research workflows such as event studies, factor-model research, accounting regressions, forecast-error analysis, valuation research, or investment research pipelines. Prefer execution in this order: (1) Codex/ACP Codex when available, (2) Claude Code/ACP Claude, (3) direct API/config mode only as a fallback."

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 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.
