patent-scout

patent-scout is an agent for Claude Code from illusionaireal/oh-my-patent. It costs 15 tokens per session (347 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A patent-search and existing-technology research assistant. It gathers information from patent and academic databases, removes duplicates, and prepares evidence notes for important results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Investigating whether an idea resembles existing patents or research, searching sources such as Google Scholar and the USPTO, and creating a landscape report with evidence cards.
Why use it?
Searching patents and research sources manually can miss related work or leave findings hard to compare. This assistant organizes the results into a consistent reference set.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

patent-scout scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 13d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
