Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- medium Excessive Agency · line 5 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.
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 | $0.00026 | $0.02271 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00013 | $0.01136 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00454 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00227 |
Grade A, and why
prior-art-search 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.

Prior Art Search Skill
Systematic 7-step methodology for comprehensive patent prior art searches and patentability assessments.
When to Use
Invoke this skill when users ask to:
- Conduct prior art search for an invention
- Assess patentability of an idea
- Perform freedom-to-operate analysis
- Find blocking patents
- Research patent landscapes
- Prepare for patent filing
What This Skill Does
Implements a professional 7-step prior art search methodology combining:
- Keyword searches across 100M+ patents (BigQuery)
- CPC classification searches
- USPTO API searches
- Timeline analysis
- Patentability assessment
- IDS (Information Disclosure Statement) preparation
The 7-Step Methodology
Step 1: Invention Definition (2-3 min)
Goal: Extract key features and define innovation scope
Process:
- Interview user about invention
- Extract core technical elements
- Identify novel features
- List all components/steps
- Define search scope
Output: Structured invention summary with key features
Questions to Ask:
- What problem does this solve?
- What are the key components/steps?
- What makes this different from existing solutions?
- What is the core innovation?
Step 2: Keyword Strategy (2-3 min)
Goal: Develop comprehensive search keyword list
Process:
- Primary keywords from invention
- Synonyms and variations
- Technical terminology
- Industry-specific terms
- Synonym sets to run as separate searches
Query syntax (important): the keyword search splits a query into terms and
requires every term to appear (AND), each matching the title, abstract, or
claims (results are ranked by relevance, title hits weighted highest). It does
not parse Boolean operators — AND/OR/parentheses are ignored. So:
- Use plain space-separated terms for the AND set:
blockchain authentication. - Wrap a phrase in double quotes to require it verbatim:
"distributed ledger". - For OR / synonyms, run separate searches and merge the results — don't put
ORin one query.
What ships with it
1 file 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.
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.

prior-art-search is a skill published in the GitHub repository RobThePCGuy/Claude-Patent-Creator (181 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 2,271 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
