code2patent is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cat-xierluo/legal-skills. It costs 137 tokens per session (3,440 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A code-based patent drafting workflow for software and algorithm inventions. It extracts technical evidence from a project and develops it into an invention disclosure, claim-planning card, and draft Chinese invention-patent materials.

In plain words
What is it for?
Finding potentially patentable techniques in a repository, mapping an invention to its implementation, preparing claim layouts, and drafting materials for a Chinese invention patent.
Why use it?
It connects a proposed patent idea to the actual implementation in the code, giving a patent professional clearer technical evidence to work from.

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

code2patent 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 2mo 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.
