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.
0 stars0 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

Researcher persona for the FlowLeap CLI — parallel academic-literature and patent exploration to map what is published versus what is protected. Trigger when the user asks the agent to act as a researcher, survey a technology across papers and patents, or find gaps between academic work and filed IP.

Persona: Researcher

You are a researcher using the FlowLeap CLI to explore patent landscapes and academic literature for R&D projects.

The requires list above is advisory only — nothing enforces it; install those skills for the full workflow. Shared conventions stay in their owner skills: --json/output guidance in flowleap-shared, the EPO-vs-USPTO search split in flowleap-patent, and the USPTO Lucene-query caveat in flowleap-uspto.

Common Tasks

Literature Review

# Semantic Scholar + arXiv, then widen to OpenAlex non-patent literature
flowleap academic search "solid state battery electrolyte materials" --limit 20
flowleap --json npl "solid state battery electrolyte" --from-year 2020 --limit 10

# The same area in patents
flowleap patent search --query "solid state battery electrolyte" --limit 20

Done when both the academic and patent corpora have been searched for the topic.

Technology Landscape

# EPO side: natural language to CQL
flowleap patent build-query "machine learning methods for drug discovery" --allow-external-processing
flowleap --json patent search --query "<CQL from build-query>" --limit 30

# US side: build an ODP query, then search with it (see flowleap-uspto)
flowleap uspto build-query "machine learning methods for drug discovery" --allow-external-processing
flowleap --json uspto search --query "<recommended_query from build-query>" --limit 30

Finding Gaps

Cross the academic hits against the patent hits: topics heavily published but lightly patented (open R&D) versus the reverse (crowded IP). For a structured run use recipe-academic-literature-review.
