What it does

This skill guides an AI agent through the full drafting of a patent application, starting from a description of an invention. It runs a chain of steps covering prior art search, novelty checking, claims drafting, specification writing, an examiner-style review, and formatting for the chosen patent office (China CNIPA, US USPTO, or European EPO). It also tracks progress in a state file so long drafts can resume after interruption. Every stage is designed to wait for the inventor's confirmation before moving on.

Great for

  • Inventors or researchers who want a first draft of a patent application to review with a patent attorney
  • Teams converting research results from the same project into patent filings across several jurisdictions
  • Users who want to compare how a utility model differs from an invention patent for Chinese filing

Skip it if

  • Filing a patent without professional review: the output is a draft and legal accuracy, enablement and claim scope need a qualified patent attorney, and errors can permanently lose rights
  • Confidential inventions if sensitive text is sent to external reviewer services or web search, since the skill can use web tools and a Codex reviewer, and disclosure before filing can harm patentability

Try asking

  • “写专利: draft a patent application for my invention described in INVENTION_BRIEF.md, jurisdiction CN”
  • “Draft a patent for this method — US, invention patent”
  • “Write the claims for a utility model covering this device structure”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Fill in INVENTION_BRIEF.md with concrete technical details, figures and advantages before running, since the drafts are only as good as the input.
  • Keep AUTO_PROCEED off and review each checkpoint, because inventor judgment is required at every stage.
  • Have a patent attorney check the claims and specification before any filing; treat outputs as drafts only.
