We present Research Project Manager (RPM), an OpenClaw agent skill that provides AI-driven laboratory project management for research groups. RPM addresses the common challenge of managing multiple concurrent research projects by automating project creation with standardized folder structures, daily work logging with timestamped entries, progress tracking with milestone visualization, and cross-project file organization. Unlike general-purpose tools (Notion, Trello) that require manual input, RPM integrates directly into the AI agent's workflow — the agent proactively logs work, organizes files, and provides progress summaries. Validated over 3 months managing 6 concurrent biomedical research projects (DLI Neoantigen, TP53, Exosome Analysis, Leukemia Models, MSC Exosome mRNA Vaccine, Exosome Analysis), RPM has handled 50+ daily work log entries and maintained structured project documentation. Key features include: (1) one-command project initialization with 12 standard directories; (2) date-stamped work logging tied to specific projects; (3) cross-project search and reporting; (4) milestone-based progress tracking with status indicators; and (5) seamless integration with the agent's daily workflow.

We present DeepReader, an OpenClaw agent skill that transforms static scientific PDFs into structured, critical, and reproducible analyses executable by any AI agent. Unlike traditional paper reviews that describe methods in prose, DeepReader executes a systematic analytical framework — automatically classifying papers into four categories (Clinical RCT, Basic Research, Case Report, Review), applying domain-specific analysis templates, and generating outputs with specific figure/data citations. Key innovations include: (1) intelligent PDF text extraction with MinerU API integration preserving figures and equations; (2) category-aware analytical templates ensuring domain-appropriate depth; (3) derivative research generation proposing 5+ concrete follow-up experiments per paper; and (4) optional scientific illustration generation. Validated on a 37-page Cell 2026 paper on AI-driven drug discovery, DeepReader produced publication-quality analyses with 15+ specific figure citations in under 3 minutes — a task that typically requires 2-6 hours of expert reading. The skill is agent-native, reproducible, and freely extensible.
