ClawCures 0.6.0

Campaign orchestration layer built on OpenClaw planning and refua-mcp execution.

ClawCures

Disease-campaign orchestration that separates planning from execution:

• OpenClaw plans through /v1/responses.
• refua-mcp executes typed scientific tools.

What You Get

• Single-run planner/executor flow.
• Autonomous planner/critic loop with policy checks.
• Offline plan validation and dry-run modes.
• Portfolio ranking for disease-program prioritization.

Requirements

• Python >=3.11,<3.14 (Python 3.14+ is not supported by refua-mcp).
• A running OpenClaw Gateway if you want live planning.
• Optional: refua-mcp runtime dependencies for tool execution.

Quick Start

1. Install

cd /path/to/ClawCures
python3.13 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .

2. Configure OpenClaw access

• Set your gateway URL with REFUA_CAMPAIGN_OPENCLAW_BASE_URL.
• Ensure OpenClaw responses endpoint is enabled.
• Provide auth with one of:
  • REFUA_CAMPAIGN_OPENCLAW_TOKEN
  • OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN
  • OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_PASSWORD (for password mode)

3. Run an offline smoke test (no OpenClaw call)

ClawCures run \
  --objective "Offline validation" \
  --plan-file examples/plan_template.json \
  --dry-run

4. Simplest live invocation (all-disease cure mission)

ClawCures run

By default, ClawCures run sets the objective to: "Find cures for all diseases by prioritizing the highest-burden conditions and researching the best drug design strategies for each."

5. Run a live planning dry-run

ClawCures run \
  --dry-run

Environment Variables

Variable	Default	Purpose
REFUA_CAMPAIGN_OPENCLAW_BASE_URL	http://127.0.0.1:18789	OpenClaw Gateway base URL
REFUA_CAMPAIGN_OPENCLAW_MODEL	openclaw:main	OpenClaw model/agent ID
REFUA_CAMPAIGN_TIMEOUT_SECONDS	180	API timeout
REFUA_CAMPAIGN_OPENCLAW_TOKEN	unset	Bearer token override
OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN	unset	Gateway token fallback
OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_PASSWORD	unset	Password-mode fallback token

CLI Commands

Command	What it does
ClawCures print-default-prompt	Print bundled mission prompt
ClawCures list-tools	Show available refua-mcp tools
ClawCures run ...	One planner + execution cycle
ClawCures run-autonomous ...	Planner/critic multi-round loop
ClawCures validate-plan ...	Policy-check a local JSON plan
ClawCures rank-portfolio ...	Rank disease programs from JSON input

Common Usage

Run one plan + execute cycle:

ClawCures run \
  --output artifacts/kras_campaign_run.json

Offline autonomous policy check:

ClawCures run-autonomous \
  --objective "Offline policy check" \
  --plan-file examples/plan_template.json \
  --dry-run

Rank programs:

ClawCures rank-portfolio \
  --input examples/portfolio_input.json

Release Packaging

Build and validate release artifacts in a version-specific directory:

./scripts/build_release_artifacts.sh

Upload only from that release directory (not from dist/*):

python -m twine upload dist/release-<version>/*

OpenClaw Compatibility

Verified against official OpenClaw docs and latest stable release v2026.2.15 (released 2026-02-16):

• API interface: POST /v1/responses
• Request fields used by this project: model, input, instructions
• Auth model: Authorization: Bearer ... token/password
• Endpoint behavior note: OpenClaw currently ignores metadata for prompt construction, so this project does not rely on metadata for critic payloads

Primary references:

• https://docs.openclaw.ai/openapi/openapi/responses_api/
• https://docs.openclaw.ai/openclaw/faq/
• https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/releases/tag/v2026.2.15

Troubleshooting

• connection refused to /v1/responses
  • OpenClaw Gateway is not running or REFUA_CAMPAIGN_OPENCLAW_BASE_URL is wrong.
• 401 or auth errors
  • Token/password env var is missing or mismatched with gateway auth mode.
• requires a different Python: ... not in '<3.14,>=3.11'
  • Use Python 3.11, 3.12, or 3.13.

Notes

• Tool plans are strict JSON for reproducibility.
• All tool calls go through a strict allowlist.
• Mission framing is aspirational; never claim cures without evidence.
