See [`CLAUDE.md`](./CLAUDE.md) § \"Migrating from the pre-0.3 layout\" for `mv` commands. The `fetch-papers` skill was folded into `download-ref --from-bib`.\n\nAn AI-powered research brainstorming partner. Tell it a research topic — it helps you find good problems, think them through, and shape concrete research ideas together with you.\n\nWorks with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/claude-code), [Codex](https://github.com/openai/codex), and [OpenCode](https://github.com/opencode-ai/opencode). Skill question styles inspired by [superpowers](https://github.com/obra/superpowers).\n\n## Quick Start\n\nOpen **Claude Code**/**Codex**/**OpenCode** and type:\n\n```\nInstall the plugin/skills from https://github.com/QuantumBFS/sci-brain\nThen invoke `brainstorm-ideas` skill to start talking.\n```\n\n## What does the `/brainstorm-ideas` skill do?\n\nYou start a conversation. The agent asks about your background — you can describe yourself, or point it at your Zotero library or Google Scholar profile so it can learn from your papers directly.\nThe better the agent understands you, the higher quality its recommendations are.\n\nThen you pick a domain expert (distilled from **real** scientists' conversations with AI, see [list](advisors/)) to assist you. Their profile is loaded into a subagent to help you ask the right questions.\n\n## Want Deeper Literature First?\n\n`/brainstorm-ideas` searches the web as you talk, but if you want a thorough literature map before brainstorming, run `/survey` first. It searches in parallel across seven strategies — landscape mapping, adjacent fields, cross-vocabulary, cross-method, historical lineage, negative results, and benchmarks — and builds a knowledge base with verified BibTeX.\n\nWhen you run `/brainstorm-ideas` afterward, it automatically picks up the survey results and uses them to ground the conversation.\n\n```\n/survey              ← build a literature map\n/brainstorm-ideas               ← brainstorm with that literature loaded\n```\n\n## Where Things Are Saved\n\n- **Project knowledge base** — `\u003cproject\u003e/.knowledge/` — papers, rendered markdown, `INDEX.md`, `NOTES.md`. Populated by `/survey`, `/researchstyle`, `/download-ref`.\n- **Project BibTeX** — `\u003cproject\u003e/ref.bib` — cite-key namespace, shared with any LaTeX in the project.\n- **Advisor knowledge bases** — `advisors/\u003cslug\u003e/.knowledge/` and `advisors/\u003cslug\u003e/ref.bib` — per-advisor private cache, gitignored.\n- **Conversation logs** — `docs/discussion/` — each session is a timestamped file; the next session picks up where you left off.\n- **Ideas reports** — `articles/` in your current directory, with a matching `.bib` file.\n\n## Want to Become an Advisor?\n\nIf you've used Claude Code or Codex for research conversations and want your thinking style captured as a reusable advisor profile, just run:\n\n```\nclone https://github.com/QuantumBFS/sci-brain,\ninvoke incarnate skill in the cloned repo to create my profile,\nthen submit a pr,\ninclude all relevant chat history, interview output and the generated profile.\n```\n\nThe whole process is interactive — you review everything before it's published, and you can decide to include the raw conversation data (for research purposes) in the pr or not.\n\n## Contributors\n\n**Initiator**: [Lei Wang](https://github.com/wangleiphy) and [Jin-Guo Liu](https://github.com/GiggleLiu)\n\n## License\n\nMIT.
