⚡ ThinkStorm
Frictionless Anonymous Idea Intake, Autonomous AI Research, and Project Incubation Engine.
ThinkStorm captures unformed ideas with zero friction, preserves original submissions immutably, and orchestrates self-hosted AI models to research the landscape, synthesize feasibility, and incubate full Gitea projects.
🌟 Key Features
1. Frictionless Anonymous Intake
- Zero Required Metadata: Submit raw, free-form thoughts without mandatory titles, categories, or tags.
- Embedded URL Isolation & Safety Scanner: URLs inside submissions are extracted and evaluated via VirusTotal. Unsafe or suspicious links are automatically quarantined for administrator review before any model processing runs.
- Immutable Prompt Preservation: The original submission prompt is permanently locked in the database and displayed verbatim across all views.
2. Multi-Stage Research & Evaluation Pipeline
- Title & Summary Extraction: AI extracts semantic titles, executive summaries, and initial taxonomies.
- Duplicate & Relationship Mapping: Automatically identifies conceptual overlaps and clusters related ideas.
- Prior Art & Competitor Search: Queries live web indices via SearXNG and Perplexica to discover similar projects, existing tools, and architectural differentiators.
- Deep Technical Feasibility & Risk Critique: Generates feasibility scores (0–10), technical constraints, implementation roadmaps, and risk matrices.
3. Canonical Gitea Project Repositories
- Every incubated idea is automatically provisioned as a full Git repository under the
thinkstormorganization on Gitea (e.g.https://git.labyricorn.com/thinkstorm/ts-0032). - Repositories include:
README.md: Executive summary, prompt quotation, lifecycle badge, and project structure guide.metadata.json: Machine-readable metadata schema.research/:prior-art.md,analysis.md,feasibility.md.outputs/: Multi-modal work track deliverables organized by track.provenance/: Execution run logs and token attribution telemetry.
- Full Git history, branch management, issue tracking, and SSH/HTTPS cloning (
git clone ...) are natively supported.
4. Multi-Modal Work Tracks & Versioning
- Ideas can be claimed by authenticated users to unlock specialized Work Tracks:
- 📄 Article & Whitepaper: Structured long-form analysis and publication drafts.
- 💻 Coding Project: Software architectures, API specs, and codebase scaffolds.
- ✍️ Blog Entry: Conversational announcement posts and technical retrospectives.
- Iterative Deliverable Versioning: Subsequent workflow runs archive previous outputs as versions (
v1,v2,v3) with model attribution, allowing fine-grained deletion and draft comparison.
5. Authentication & Access Control
- Gitea OAuth2 Single Sign-On: Log in with your Gitea account with automatic profile provisioning.
- Local Fallback Authentication: Secure bcrypt password authentication for administrative and local accounts.
- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Supports
ANONYMOUS,USER, andADMINpermission tiers.
6. Administration, Queue & Provenance
- Background Job Queue: Asynchronous, non-blocking pipeline execution with foreground prioritization and retry controls.
- Prompt Catalog & Semantic Versioning: Edit prompt templates dynamically with version tracking and profile activation.
- Token Accounting & Model Telemetry: Comprehensive auditing of input/output token usage, provider durations, and execution status.
