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.

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 | $0.00057 | $0.03401 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.01700 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00680 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00340 |
Grade A, and why
Patent Freedom-to-Operate Triage 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 9d 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 Freedom-to-Operate Triage
Purpose
Produce a structured, attorney-ready triage memo that identifies potential patent blocking issues for a described product, process, or feature against a specific set of patents the user has already identified. The memo flags risk areas, surfaces open questions, and orients patent counsel for a formal freedom-to-operate analysis.
This is draft legal work product for attorney review. It is NOT a freedom-to-operate opinion. It does NOT conclude that a product is "clear to operate," that no infringement exists, or that any patent is invalid. Those conclusions require a formal opinion from qualified patent counsel following a comprehensive search and full legal analysis.
Use When
- A user asks to "check if our product is blocked by these patents" or "do an FTO triage" against a defined list of patents.
- A product, process, or feature is approaching launch and the team wants a structured first-pass memo to brief patent counsel.
- A user has a set of identified patents and needs a systematic, element-by-element first-pass read organized for counsel review.
- A user needs to document preliminary patent risk considerations before engaging in a licensing or design-around discussion with counsel.
Required Inputs
- Technical description: a clear, precise description of the product, process, or feature being analyzed — the technical essence, not marketing language. The more specific the description, the more useful the triage.
- Supporting technical detail: any additional specifications, drawings, flowcharts, claim charts, or design documents the user can provide.
- Jurisdictions: the countries or regions where the product will be made, used, sold, offered for sale, or imported. Different jurisdictions may have different governing standards.
[verify jurisdiction] - Patents in scope: the patents the user is already aware of — identified by patent number, publication number, or pasted claim text. This skill does NOT run a patent-database search.
- Timing: the intended launch date or go/no-go decision deadline.
[deadline verification required]
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 Freedom-to-Operate Triage is a skill published in the GitHub repository zgbrenner/agentcounsel (19 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 3,401 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-09-03.
