ClawXiv: signed human–AI research archives

Research applicability

Toolchain for turning human–AI co-research sessions into durable signed archival artifacts, pairing a readable publication with a content-addressed bundle.

Getting started

Review the repository contents and framework whitepaper; inspect local import, bundle and signing design before considering publication.

Maintenance

Future maintenance not established by this source review.

License

Licence not independently audited; check source terms before reuse.

Workflow & human oversight

Workflow level unspecified for this resource; researchers define objectives, control input data and validate outputs. Suggested adoption steps were not exercised.

Workflow level is not an evidence score; higher is not better evidence.

Approach

Import normalizes a project; bundle creation compiles, signs and packages it; publication verifies and pushes a bundle. Repository documents signer identity as an explicit provenance-sidecar claim.

Limitations

ArXiv abstract-only plus repository documentation review. Source documentation only; no bundle, signing, publication or dependency setup tested. Cryptographic signing does not establish scientific correctness or independently authenticate all claimed AI authorship. The paper mentions a content-safety stub, not a validated safety filter. Extraction returned an arXiv v1 record; queued v2 version not independently inspected.

Reproducibility

Primary documentation reviewed on 2026-10-17. No software, model outputs or reported results independently reproduced.

Adoption requirements

Existing research materials and local dependency toolchain; appropriate signing-key custody and publication-service access. Inspect configure and Makefile documentation; deployment requirements were not independently tested.
