🚨Found an open-source tool that automates 90% of academic research

Claude Scholar:
it's a semi-automated research assistant built on top of Claude Code CLI
here's what it actually does:
- turns vague ideas into structured research questions and gap analysis
- manages your entire literature workflow through Zotero (DOI / arXiv import, collections, reading notes)
- runs real statistical analysis, t-tests, ANOVA, Wilcoxon and generates scientific figures
- writes and refines paper sections with citation verification built in
- strips robotic AI phrasing and improves academic tone automatically
- drafts rebuttals by classifying reviewer comments and generating structured responses
- keeps a durable project knowledge base synced to Obsidian
supports NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, Nature, Science and more
important: this is NOT "AI writes your paper" human judgment stays at the center, it just kills the repetitive 80%
works with Claude Code, Codex CLI, and OpenCode
