paper2patent

paper2patent is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ThomasMoreAI/legal-skills-open. It costs 64 tokens per session (1,115 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of paper2patent, Apache-2.0.

A document-writing workflow that turns an academic paper into a Chinese invention patent application, including the claims, description, abstract, figures, and Word or PDF files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to draft Chinese patent applications from papers, prepare patent claims and technical descriptions, and check whether the application matches the source material.
Why use it?
It removes the need to restructure research writing into the formal sections required for a patent application while keeping the result tied to the source paper.

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

paper2patent 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 1mo 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.

Paper2Patent

Purpose

Use this skill to convert an academic paper into a complete Chinese invention patent application deliverable. The default full-draft output is a Word document (.docx) and, when a converter is available, a PDF copy. Keep the work faithful to the supplied paper: do not invent technical features, embodiments, data, hardware, scenarios, or effects that are not present in the source material.

Workflow

  1. Determine the output mode. Use direct by default, human-in-loop when the user asks to review choices before generation, and text-only when the user explicitly wants no files.
  2. Collect and assess the paper input. Read references/input-requirements.md when the user provides partial paper content, a PDF path, source paper figures, figure descriptions, or unclear source material.
  3. Extract the patentable contribution. Build the closed chain of difference point, technical problem, technical solution, and technical effect.
  4. Draft the structured patent content. Read references/text-conversion-workflow.md for the five-part content model and execution order. Treat the repository reference_skills/meterial.md prompt as the normative source for the five patent sections, claim rules, specification depth, and fidelity constraints.
  5. Apply claim and specification rules. Read references/claims-and-specification-rules.md before writing or revising claims, background, invention content, or embodiments.
  6. Prepare drawings. Read references/drawing-generation.md; first derive patent reference drawings from the source paper figures, captions, and method text when available, then align them with the claims and specification. Generate black-and-white SVG reference drawings, converter-compatible PNG fallbacks when possible, and Image2-style refinement prompts.
  7. Generate files for full drafts. Read references/document-generation.md, then use scripts/generate_patent_drawings.py to create clean SVG/PNG drawings, scripts/generate_patent_docx.py to embed them in DOCX, and scripts/export_patent_pdf.py for PDF conversion when available.
  8. Run the internal quality pass. Read references/quality-checklist.md before finalizing.

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.
