nature-paper-to-patent

nature-paper-to-patent is a skill for Codex from Yuan1z0825/nature-skills. It costs 124 tokens per session (1,031 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for turning scientific papers, theses, reports, code, figures, or inventor notes into evidence-based Chinese invention-patent drafts and technical disclosures. A technical disclosure is a document that explains an invention to a patent attorney.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify possible patentable features, prepare Chinese patent claims, write attorney-facing disclosures, and check whether draft features are grounded in the supplied sources.
Why use it?
It helps separate what the source actually supports from ideas that still need confirmation or are not supported. This reduces the risk of putting unverified technical claims into a patent draft.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present.

Good fit Use it to identify possible patentable features, prepare Chinese patent claims, write attorney-facing disclosures, and check whether draft features are grounded in the supplied sources.

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

nature-paper-to-patent 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 13d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 17 executable files (scripts/audit_claims.py, scripts/build_patent_package.py, scripts/disclosure/cnipa_epub_crawler.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 106 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Paper to Chinese Patent

Use this file as the router for the patent-drafting workflow. Do not draft the application directly from the paper abstract or contribution list.

1. Load the workflow

Read manifest.yaml, then read every file under always_load.

Detect these axes from the user's files and request:

  • source_format: selectable PDF, scanned PDF, pasted text, or mixed project;
  • task_mode: full draft, claim set, disclosure analysis, technical disclosure, disclosure iteration, or paper-patent audit;
  • invention_type: algorithm/software, apparatus/system, process/material, or mixed.

State the detected values in one short line. Load only the matching fragments declared in the manifest. Load detailed references only when their condition applies.

2. Preserve source grounding

Create stable source IDs before drafting:

  • P001... for paper text blocks;
  • E001... for equations;
  • F001... for source figures;
  • C001... for source-code or supplementary evidence.

Every material feature in a formal claim must map to one or more source IDs. Use only explicit, inherent, needs-confirmation, or unsupported as support states. Exclude unsupported features from formal claims.

Never infer inventorship, ownership, unpublished implementation details, publication dates, prior-art conclusions, or legal sufficiency. Use [TO CONFIRM: specific question] outside formal claims when facts are missing.

3. Draft through stage gates

For full-draft, claim-set, disclosure-analysis, and paper-patent-audit, complete the stages in static/core/workflow.md in order. Persist the intermediate artifacts specified there. Do not move to formal claims until the source map, terminology ledger, inventories, evidence ledger, and invention concept pass their gates.

For technical-disclosure, follow the ordered prompt references in static/fragments/task/technical-disclosure.md. For disclosure-iteration, follow static/fragments/task/disclosure-iteration.md and preserve the prior draft instead of restarting the formal application workflow.

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.
