Attribution check for an unofficial Claude Code port of STORM / Co-STORM
Hi @shaoyijia @Yucheng-Jiang — you're listed as the contact persons in the README, so I'm raising this here.
I've built an unofficial reimplementation of the STORM and Co-STORM methodology as a Claude Code plugin: storm — STORM for Claude Code. It is prompt-only (Markdown + JSON, no runtime code) and maps the method onto Claude Code's own web search and subagents, so it needs no Python, no litellm, and no search API keys. It shares no code with knowledge-storm.
My main reason for opening this is to have you check the attribution. This is what my README currently says:
Based on the methodology of the papers Assisting in Writing Wikipedia-like Articles From Scratch with Large Language Models (NAACL 2024) and Into the Unknown Unknowns: Engaged Human Learning through Participation in Language Model Agent Conversations (EMNLP 2024) by the Stanford OVAL lab. This project is not affiliated with or endorsed by Stanford; it reimplements the method and shares no code with
knowledge-storm.
Both papers link to arXiv. The plugin is Apache-2.0; yours is MIT, and since no code is shared the licenses don't interact.
One thing I'd rather flag myself than have you discover: my repository is named stanford-oval-storm-skills, which leads with your GitHub organization name. I picked it to mark where the method comes from, but I can see it reading as an affiliation claim. If you'd prefer I rename it, say so and I will.
So, concretely: is there anything above you'd like changed?
Separately and entirely optionally — I've opened a small PR alongside this issue adding a ### Community projects subsection under Roadmap & Contributions. Please treat it as a suggestion only. A "no" costs me nothing; the attribution question above is the part I actually care about.
Thanks for the papers, and for open-sourcing the reference implementation.
