autoresearchclaw-23-stage-8-phase-3-gate-architecture
AutoResearchClaw runs a 23-stage pipeline organized into 8 phases with 3 hard gate stages (stages 5, 9, 20) that require human or programmatic approval before proceeding. It has 2,699 tests and supports 10+ scientific domains with per-domain adapters and Docker profiles. The MetaClaw cross-run self-learning system stores lessons with time-decay weighting. SmartPause detects context switches mid-pipeline and suspends cleanly. This is significantly more rigorous than the Oracle’s current 4-phase AutoResearch loop.
