At a glance

Records, branches and visualizes the rounds of a patent brainstorming session, scoring each candidate and letting you restore an abandoned idea.

  • Recording a round of patent brainstorming with scores and decisions
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, CLI Access, Subcommands and Integration with Agents, plus 1 more section
  • Calls node
  • Branching from an earlier idea to explore a different direction

What it does

Every operation runs through a dedicated CLI rather than hand-written JSON, covering initializing a new path, which creates a directory with a path file, nodes and snapshots, recording a round with its topic, scores and decisions, and showing an overview of total rounds, current round, status and how an innovation and its score evolved.

It can also show one node's detail, list or inspect a single innovation's full history across rounds, and create a branch from any historical node with a stated reason for exploring a different direction, so an idea abandoned earlier can still be restored and compared against what replaced it.

When your agent uses it

  • Recording a round of patent brainstorming with scores and decisions
  • Branching from an earlier idea to explore a different direction
  • Reviewing the full history of one innovation candidate

Example prompts

  • “Record this round's brainstorm scores for the crypto-cache project.”
  • “Show me the overview of this patent brainstorm path so far.”
  • “Branch from round 2 to explore a different integration strategy.”

Requirements

  • The oh-my-patent CLI
  • Node.js to run it

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f6a7456. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Patent Brainstorm Path Tracker loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 29 tokens; SKILL.md has 353 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~29
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Skill: Brainstorm Path

Manage brainstorm decision paths — recording rounds, querying history, creating branches, evaluating thresholds, and rendering visualizations.

Overview

The brainstorm path system records the evolution of innovation candidates across brainstorming rounds. It enables:

  • Round-by-round recording with scores and decisions
  • Threshold-based pass/iterate decisions
  • Branching from any historical node
  • Restoring abandoned innovations
  • Visualizing the complete decision path

All operations are performed via the oh-my-patent CLI, which wraps the TypeScript APIs. Do not manually write JSON files — use the CLI commands below.

CLI Access

bash
node <oh-my-patent-dir>/dist/cli.js path <subcommand> [options]

Where <oh-my-patent-dir> is the path to the oh-my-patent plugin directory (e.g., ./oh-my-patent from the workspace root).

Subcommands

Initialize a new path
bash
node dist/cli.js path init <project-path>

Creates the .brainstorm/ directory structure with path.json, nodes/, and snapshots/.

Output: { "ok": true, "pathId": "path-..." }

Record a brainstorm round
bash
node dist/cli.js path record <project-path> \
  --round <N> \
  --data '<json-string>'

Or read from a file:

bash
node dist/cli.js path record <project-path> \
  --round <N> \
  --data @/path/to/round-data.json

The --data JSON structure:

json
{
  "projectId": "05-crypto-hsm-cache-concurrency",
  "topic": "加密机缓存并发优化",
  "agentOutputs": [
    {
      "agentId": "patent-innovation-architect",
      "outputFile": "references/brainstorm_round1_innovation_architect.md",
      "summary": "生成3个候选方案",
      "keyPoints": ["A1: 三级缓存架构", "A2: 失效协议"]
    }
  ],
  "innovations": [
    {
      "id": "INN-001",
      "title": "安全策略约束的多级缓存并发控制系统",
      "problem": "HSM高并发场景重复计算、缓存风暴",
      "coreSolution": ["三级缓存架构", "单flight并发控制"],
      "differences": ["vs R6/R7: HSM场景特化"],
      "status": "active"
    }
  ],
  "scores": [
    {
      "innovationId": "INN-001",
      "novelty": 8,
      "creativity": 8,
      "practicality": 9,
      "businessValue": 7,
      "weightedScore": 8.1
    }
  ],
  "decision": {
    "action": "ITERATE",
    "reason": "综合分 8.0 < 阈值 8.5",
    "recommendations": ["强化缓存键策略绑定的差异性描述"]
  }
}

Output: { "ok": true, "nodeId": "round-1", "pathId": "...", "totalNodes": 1, "status": "active" }

Show path overview
bash
node dist/cli.js path overview <project-path>

Returns JSON with: totalRounds, currentRound, status, innovationEvolution, scoreProgression.

Show node detail
bash
node dist/cli.js path node <project-path> <node-id>

Example: node dist/cli.js path node ./projects/05-crypto-hsm-cache-concurrency round-1

Show innovation history
bash
node dist/cli.js path innovation <project-path> <innovation-id>

Example: node dist/cli.js path innovation ./projects/05-crypto-hsm-cache-concurrency INN-001

List all innovations
bash
node dist/cli.js path innovations <project-path>

Returns a JSON array of all innovation summaries with their status and scores.

Create a branch
bash
node dist/cli.js path branch <project-path> \
  --from-node round-2 \
  --reason "探索不同的整合策略"

Output: { "ok": true, "branchId": "path-...-branch-1", "parentPathId": "...", ... }

List branches
bash
node dist/cli.js path branches <project-path>
Restore an abandoned innovation
bash
node dist/cli.js path restore <project-path> \
  --node round-1 \
  --innovation INN-003
Show full SKILL.md (150 more words)Show less
Evaluate threshold for a round
bash
node dist/cli.js path threshold <project-path> --round <N>

Evaluates all innovation scores in the given round against default thresholds (passToDraft: 8.5, novelty red-line: 6.0, creativity red-line: 6.0). Returns decisions and improvement suggestions.

Visualize the path (box-drawing)
bash
node dist/cli.js path visualize <project-path> [--mode overview|node|innovation|branch|dashboard] [--target <id>]

Renders a formatted box-drawing visualization to stdout. Modes:

  • overview (default): Full timeline with score sparklines
  • node: Single node detail
  • innovation: Innovation evolution history
  • branch: Branch overview
  • dashboard: Combined overview + latest node + top innovation
Render as Markdown
bash
node dist/cli.js path markdown <project-path> [--mode overview|node|innovation|branch] [--target <id>] [--output <file>]

Renders a Markdown report. Same modes as visualize but in Markdown format. Use --output to write to a file.

Integration with Agents

patent-path-recorder

After each brainstorm round, the Moderator should call:

bash
node dist/cli.js path record <project-path> --round <N> --data '<round-data-json>'

Do not manually create .brainstorm/ JSON files. The CLI handles atomicity and consistency.

patent-brainstorm-moderator

After scoring, use threshold evaluation:

bash
node dist/cli.js path threshold <project-path> --round <N>

This returns the pass/iterate/force-pass decision with improvement suggestions.

Archimedes (orchestrator)

To view the current brainstorm state:

bash
node dist/cli.js path overview <project-path>
node dist/cli.js path visualize <project-path> --mode dashboard

To branch or restore:

bash
node dist/cli.js path branch <project-path> --from-node <id> --reason "<text>"
node dist/cli.js path restore <project-path> --node <id> --innovation <id>

File Structure

After initialization and recording, the project directory will contain:

<project>/
├── .brainstorm/
│   ├── path.json                    # Path metadata and edges
