continuation-broadened

continuation-broadened is a skill for Claude Code from arcprime-ip/patent-prompts. It costs 33 tokens per session (198 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A patent-review aid that looks for ways to write broader claims in a continuation application, a later application based on the same patent disclosure. It checks that each part of a proposed claim is supported by the patent's detailed description.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it with a patent specification and existing claims to generate broader independent claims for a continuation application.
Why use it?
It helps reveal when existing claims may cover less than the original disclosure allows. The support check helps keep proposed broader claims tied to what the patent actually describes.

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

continuation-broadened 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 11d 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 it actually says

Continuation - Broadened Claims

Analyze a patent's specification and claims to generate broader independent claims for a continuation application, ensuring every claim element is traceable to the detailed description with verbatim vocabulary support.

Instructions

  1. Read the prompt file at ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../portfolio/continuation-broadened/prompt.md
  2. Extract the prompt section (between the --- delimiters)
  3. Ask the user for the required inputs if not already provided via $ARGUMENTS:
    • Patent specification
    • Existing patent claims
  4. Fill in the {{PLACEHOLDER}} values with the user's content
  5. Execute the prompt to generate broadened claims
  6. Present the output to the user

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.
