AI Agent Skills

Open-source skills for patent analysis and principle extraction. Built on the Agent Skills standard. Works with Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, Cursor, and any compatible agent.

How to Use

Each skill is a SKILL.md file. Drop it into your agent and go.

Claude Code / Gemini CLI / Cursor

git clone https://github.com/Obviously-Not/patent-skills cp -r patent-skills/code-patent-scanner .claude/skills/ # Now use /code-patent-scanner in your agent

Any LLM Agent

Open the SKILL.md on GitHub, copy the contents, and paste into your agent's chat. It works immediately.

Not legal advice. These tools identify technical patterns, not patentability. Consult a patent attorney for IP guidance.

These tools DO:

  • Identify distinctive patterns
  • Generate search queries
  • Suggest research strategies
  • Document technical evidence

These tools DON'T:

  • Search patent databases
  • Assess patentability
  • Provide legal conclusions
  • Replace professional counsel

Principle-Based Extraction

📐

PBE Extractor

Extract invariant principles from any text. Find the ideas that survive rephrasing. This is always your first step.

Start here — extract before comparing or synthesizing

Then choose your analysis:

⚖️

Principle Comparator

Compare two sources to find shared and divergent principles.

2 sources
GitHub ClawHub
⚗️

Principle Synthesizer

Synthesize invariant principles from 3+ sources into a unified core.

3+ sources
GitHub ClawHub
✨

Essence Distiller

Find what actually matters. The ideas that survive any rephrasing.

Refine and distill
GitHub ClawHub
🧭

Pattern Finder

Discover what two sources agree on. Find the signal in the noise.

2 sources
