26 days oldThe repository was created 26 days ago. New is not bad, but a brand new repository carrying a familiar-sounding name is the shape a typosquat arrives in, and there has been no time for anyone else to find a problem with it.

What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Manage BYOK patent-provider credentials (EPO OPS consumer key/secret, USPTO ODP API key) for the FlowLeap CLI — check status, validate live, and hand off to a human for the interactive setup wizard. Trigger when a FlowLeap command fails with provider_keys_required or provider_keys_invalid, when patent data calls error about EPO/USPTO credentials, or when the user asks to configure provider keys.

FlowLeap Provider Keys (BYOK)

Patent data flows through provider APIs that may need the USER's own credentials: EPO OPS (consumer key + secret — always a pair) and USPTO ODP (single API key). Keys live in credentials.toml (0600) and are forwarded per-request; the CLI never prints them (verbose/dry-run redact).

Diagnose

flowleap --json keys list    # what's configured locally (masked)
flowleap --json keys test    # live verdicts: source user|server|none, valid true|false|null
flowleap --json doctor       # providerKeys section + pending steps in nextSteps

keys test needing nothing locally is fine when source is server — the backend has its own keys and commands work without BYOK.

Doctor's nextSteps lists provider keys only when they actually block work: server-covered providers produce no steps. A blocking provider appears as an obtain/store pair — obtain-epo-keys / obtain-uspto-key (actor: "human", carries the signup url — relay it to the user) then store-epo-keys / store-uspto-key (actor: "agent", carries the run command — execute it once the user hands you the keys) — followed by verify-keys (actor: "agent", runs keys test). When doctor cannot reach the validation endpoint (unauthenticated/offline) it falls back to local key presence and says so in keyValidation.note. See flowleap-shared for the full nextSteps/ready/exit contract.

The agent protocol — when keys are missing or rejected

Failed commands carry a providerKeysHint in the JSON error envelope:

"providerKeysHint": {
  "code": "provider_keys_required",      // or provider_keys_invalid
  "provider": "epo",
  "requiresHumanIntervention": true,
  "nonInteractive": { "command": "flowleap keys set epo --key … --secret …",
                       "env": ["FLOWLEAP_EPO_KEY", "FLOWLEAP_EPO_SECRET"] },
  "signup": "https://developers.epo.org (free, 'My apps' → create app)"
}

Getting keys requires a browser signup — an agent cannot complete this alone. Do not retry, do not invent keys. Tell the user:

This command needs EPO OPS credentials. Please run flowleap setup in a terminal (guided, ~2 minutes; free keys from https://developers.epo.org), then I'll continue.

If the user hands you keys directly, apply them non-interactively — they are validated live before saving, and rejected keys are NOT saved:

flowleap --json keys set epo --key <consumer-key> --secret <consumer-secret>
flowleap --json keys set uspto --key <api-key>
flowleap --json keys test

Or per-session via env: FLOWLEAP_EPO_KEY, FLOWLEAP_EPO_SECRET, FLOWLEAP_USPTO_KEY.

Human commands (mention, never run yourself)

flowleap setup — full onboarding wizard (backend check → auth check → per-provider prompts with hidden input, live validation, skippable steps with explicit warnings). Refuses to run without a TTY. flowleap keys rm epo|uspto removes stored keys.
