Team Brainstorm AssistCopy Anchor Link

Lets a squad submit, AI-generate, and upvote brainstorm ideas against an argument block, grouped into boards by category, each board ranked by popularity with a near-duplicate badge.

• Route: /research/team?section=brainstorm, the Team Research page's tab (the old /research/cards/brainstorm redirects there)
• Nav: the Tools page's Community & Progress group
• Package: debate-card-search

What it showsCopy Anchor Link

An optional topic switcher, a submission form (argument block, contributor ID, category, idea text), and every board, sorted by argument block then category, each idea ranked by popularity score with a "possible duplicate" badge and a "Merge into…" select. A "Generate AI ideas" button drafts candidate ideas via a real Anthropic call.

Data flowCopy Anchor Link

state/brainstormIdeas.ts (localStorage: brainstormIdeas)
  → buildBrainstormBoardsPanelView()
  → panels/BrainstormBoardPanel.tsx
  → apps/debate-ai.com/app/cards/brainstorm/page.tsx

"Generate AI ideas":
  → requestTeamBrainstormAiIdeas() — lib/team-brainstorm-client.ts
      → buildTeamBrainstormAiUserPrompt() — lib/team-brainstorm-ai.ts (pure)
      → POST /api/reason-ai
      → parseTeamBrainstormAiResponse()

Session timerCopy Anchor Link

An optional "Session timer" widget lets a moderator time-box a sprint: pick a duration (3/5/10/15 minutes), Start, Pause/resume, or Reset. It's localStorage-backed per browser (so a countdown started in one tab is visible, live, in any other open tab of the same browser via a storage listener) and, for a real signed-in visitor, also account-synced through /api/settings's brainstormSessionTimer field via hooks/useBrainstormSessionTimerSync.ts — so the same countdown follows them to another device, not just another tab.

Known gapsCopy Anchor Link

• No reviewer/moderator identity check gates the merge or "Send to Argument Library" actions.
• "Contributor ID" is still free-form text, not a login.
