patent-application-creator

patent-application-creator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from RobThePCGuy/Claude-Patent-Creator. It costs 87 tokens per session (4,137 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An end-to-end workflow for turning raw invention material—such as code, disclosures, or notes—into a provisional patent package ready for filing preparation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify inventions, assess business value, search and challenge prior art, draft claims, check compliance, and prepare or reject a provisional application based on the evidence.
Why use it?
It checks both whether an idea may be new and whether pursuing a patent is worth the cost, including when prior art or weak commercial value suggests stopping.

    Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.
    Fix: Remove the model/provider override or disclose it prominently and require explicit operator approval before invoking an external coding CLI or billed model.

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-application-creator 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 10d 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 Application Creator Skill

Run a complete patent campaign: take whatever the user has — a codebase, an invention disclosure, scattered notes — and either produce a filing-ready provisional package or a reasoned, evidence-backed explanation of why not.

This workflow was hardened by running it for real (a full campaign over a production codebase, July 2026). Every phase below exists because skipping it cost something in that campaign.

The contract

  • The honest outcome is the deliverable. "Nothing here clears the novelty bar, and here is the prior art that kills each candidate" is a SUCCESS, not a failure. So is "this is patentable but not worth your money — file nothing, or publish defensively." Never inflate a weak candidate.
  • The campaign guards the user's money, not just their filing. The population this tool serves cannot afford a technically perfect package for a commercially worthless patent. The worth-it question is asked BEFORE the expensive phases and re-asked every time the claims narrow — a campaign that only discovers "small fence" at the end has already spent the user's budget answering the wrong question.
  • Machine checks gate, humans verify. Every automated finding marked LOW confidence gets manual verification; every clean bill of health names the checks that ran AND the checks that were skipped.
  • Dates matter. Prior art is being published continuously; note recency threats found during the sweep and say so in the package. Filing sooner beats polishing longer for a provisional.
  • The AI is never the inventor. The user is. The AI mines, searches, drafts, and verifies; the user's creation is what gets protected.

Phase 0 — Intake (any raw material)

Accept the rough ask as-is. If the material is a codebase, do NOT ask for a disclosure — mining is Phase 1's job. Ask only what cannot be derived: inventor name(s), and whether any of it has been publicly disclosed or sold (statutory bar dates). Then AUDIT the inventor's own public footprint — released products, demos, public repositories, marketing pages — and record first-disclosure dates: the inventor's own disclosures start the US grace-period clock and can immediately forfeit foreign rights. Do this before drafting, not after.

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.
