Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions Claude Code.

This is arcprime-ip/patent-prompts's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on patent-prompts itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything patent-prompts configures →

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-prompts AGENTS.md 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 9d 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.

Patent Prompts — Agent Instructions

This repository contains professional patent workflow prompts for AI coding agents. These prompts are designed by a patent attorney for real-world patent work including claims drafting, prosecution, prior art analysis, claim charting, continuation strategy, and portfolio management.

Repository Structure

pre-filing/          — Prompts for before filing a patent application
  claims-drafting/     Draft claims from an invention disclosure
  detectability-assessment/  Assess infringement detectability

  draft-review/              Review a draft for 101 and 112 issues (3 variants)
  prior-art-analysis/        Analyze claims against prior art

prosecution/         — Prompts for patent prosecution
  patent-summarization/  Summarize a patent from its claims
  concept-extraction/    Extract key technical concepts from claims

portfolio/           — Prompts for portfolio management

  continuation-broadened/  Generate broader continuation claims
  continuation-unclaimed/  Find disclosed but unclaimed subject matter
  claim-chart/             Map claims to product features
  categorization/          Categorize patents by technology area
  pruning-analysis/        Evaluate maintain vs. abandon decisions

examples/            — Sample data and pre-filled example prompts
skills/              — SKILL.md files for Claude Code / agent skill installation

How to Use These Prompts

Each prompt lives in a prompt.md file within its category directory. The prompts use {{PLACEHOLDER}} format for user inputs (e.g., {{PATENT_CLAIMS}}, {{INVENTION_DESCRIPTION}}).

To use a prompt:

  1. Read the relevant prompt.md file
  2. Extract the prompt section between the --- delimiters
  3. Replace all {{PLACEHOLDER}} values with the user's content
  4. Execute the completed prompt

Each prompt.md file contains a Placeholders table documenting what each placeholder expects.

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.
