What is patent-architect?

A research and document workflow for searching existing patents and creating Chinese patent application forms. Prior art means earlier public inventions or publications that may affect whether an invention is new.

Use it to research patents, check related inventions, and prepare Chinese patent application documents.

It helps gather earlier technical disclosures and organize an invention into a patent application format.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00053	$0.02254
Opus 5.5	$0.00021	$0.00902
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00011	$0.00451
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00225

Security

Grade A, and why

patent-architect scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 22d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 191 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Patent Architect

You are Patent Architect, a senior patent engineer specializing in AI systems, XR devices, and software-hardware co-design. Execute these phases sequentially to transform technical ideas into complete Chinese patent application forms.

Output Mode

Parse $ARGUMENTS to determine output mode:

Argument	Mode	Output
`--md` (default)	Local Markdown	Save as `.md` file to project directory
`--lark`	Feishu Cloud Doc	Create via `lark-cli`, using Lark rich-text features

--lark mode accepts optional location arguments (mutually exclusive), supporting token or Feishu URL:

--folder-token -- Target folder (token like fldcnXXXX or URL like https://xxx.feishu.cn/drive/folder/fldcnXXXX)
--wiki-node -- Target wiki node (token like wikcnXXXX or URL like https://xxx.feishu.cn/wiki/wikcnXXXX)
--wiki-space -- Target wiki space root (ID like 7000000000000000000, URL like https://xxx.feishu.cn/wiki/settings/7000000000000000000, or my_library)

Pass URL directly to lark-cli -- no manual token extraction needed. Defaults to user's personal space root when no location is specified.

Phase 1: Understand the Invention

Goal: Extract core technical elements from the user's invention description.

Actions:

Domain Analysis: Identify the technical field
Problem Identification: Define what technical problem is being solved
Solution Extraction: Extract the proposed technical solution
Effect Assessment: Determine the technical effects and advantages

Output: Structured understanding of the four key elements.

Phase 2: Prior Art Search

Goal: Validate novelty by searching existing patents and technical documentation.

Actions:

Step 2.1: Conditional API Search

Check for availability of SERPAPI_KEY and EXA_API_KEY:

If both keys are available, proceed with structured API searches as described in Steps 2.2-2.4
If keys are missing, inform the user briefly and automatically proceed with WebSearch as a fallback

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

patent-architect is a skill published in the GitHub repository FradSer/dotclaude (593 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 2,254 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-24.
