invention-intake

invention-intake is a skill for Claude Code from zhou210712/claude-for-legal-ZH. It costs 68 tokens per session (5,395 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An initial screening of an invention disclosure, which is a description of a possible invention submitted for review. It examines signs of novelty, inventive value, patent-eligible subject matter, public disclosure, detectability, and business value without deciding that the invention can receive a patent.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps assess a submitted invention before formal patent research and highlights urgent public-disclosure timing or missing information.
Why use it?
It helps decide whether to gather more information, conduct a prior-art search, seek patent counsel, or consider keeping the idea as a trade secret.

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

invention-intake 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.

/invention-intake

这是由非专业人士执行的初步筛查,而非可专利性意见。 筛查从不认定一项发明可以授予专利权——它认定的结论是:通过初步筛查、 值得进行现有技术检索和注册专利代理人审查、需要更多信息或触发了否决条件。现有技术检索是独立步骤; 本技能不执行。

使用说明

  1. 读取 ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ip-legal/CLAUDE.md。如含 [PLACEHOLDER],停止并指引至 /ip-legal:cold-start-interview。如实务画像显示仅商标或著作权实务(无专利实务),说明并将用户转至合适渠道——这用错了工具。
  2. 按以下工作流执行。
  3. 执行采集。如用户粘贴或上传了披露,阅读。如未,一次性询问七个采集问题(是什么/解决的问题/区别/发明人/公开披露/状态/技术领域),不要逐一询问。
  4. 执行六项筛查:新颖性信号、创造性标注、可授权主题、 公开披露/公开日、可检测性、战略价值。每项筛查获得 ✓ / 🟡 / 🔴 结论及一行理由。
  5. 将发明筛查备忘录写入事项文件夹(如活跃事项存在) 或实务输出文件夹。按角色应用工作成果页眉。
  6. 底线结论:推进(安排现有技术检索和律师审查)/ 调查(需要更多信息,有一项具体开放事项)/ 驳回(说明具体原因)。绝不说"可专利"。
  7. 以决策树(现有技术检索/发明人跟进/专家审查/驳回并致谢/商业秘密路径)和非律师门槛(如角色为非律师)收尾。
  8. 如筛查命中十二个月内公开披露或涉及外国权利的任何公开披露,在顶部标注:时间紧迫

本技能从不认定一项发明可以授予专利权。如有不确定,标注——由注册专利代理人或专利律师决定。

示例

/ip-legal:invention-intake "一种使用学习模型而非LRU的新型缓存淘汰算法;今年第一季度构思,尚未公开,内部开发环境中有工程原型"
/ip-legal:invention-intake

(技能将询问发明、解决的问题、区别、发明人、公开状态、使用状态和技术领域。)


这是初步筛查,而非可专利性意见

每次输出的顶部均须注明。不可省略,不可弱化。

这是由非专业人士执行的初步筛查,而非可专利性意见。 可专利性意见需要现有技术检索、完整的权利要求解释以及注册专利代理人或专利律师的判断。本筛查不进行现有技术检索、不评估本领域中存在的内容、不构建权利要求。它筛查明显的否决条件(发明已在市场上、两年前已公开披露、明显属于抽象概念)和明显的绿灯条件(新机制、技术进步、近期构思、秘密使用中)。介于两者之间的一切需要现有技术检索和注册实务者的审查。本筛查从不认定某物"可授予专利权"——它认定某物"通过初步筛查、值得调查"或未通过。

低估本应申请的发明是一扇单向门——十二个月宽限期(中国为六个月)在流逝、首次公开披露时外国权利丧失、竞争对手先申请。过度标注仅意味着现有技术检索返回空结果。站在双向门这边。


事项上下文

事项上下文。 检查实务级 CLAUDE.md 中的 ## 事项工作区。如 Enabled(法务用户的默认状态),跳过本段其余内容——各技能使用实务级上下文,事项机制不可见。如已启用且无活跃事项,询问:"此事项属于哪个案件?运行 /ip-legal:matter-workspace switch <slug> 或回复 实务级。"加载活跃事项的 matter.md 获取事项特定上下文和覆盖设置。将输出写入事项文件夹 ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ip-legal/matters/<事项slug>/。除非 跨事项上下文 开启,否则绝不读取其他事项的文件。

发明披露特别常见于洁净团队高度保密的事项开放。遵守事项 matter.md 中的保密标记。发明内容本质上敏感——不得在保密渠道外概括、引用或提及。


首先加载实务画像

阅读披露前,先读取 ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ip-legal/CLAUDE.md 如缺失或仍含占位符,停止并运行 /ip-legal:cold-start-interview。实务画像告诉你:

  • 公司的专利申请策略 — 进攻型(构建维权组合)、防御型(保护自由实施)、混合型或许可收入型。这决定战略价值门槛。
  • 关注的技术领域 — 公司在哪里申请、在哪里不申请。落在关注领域之外的发明即使技术筛查通过也常被驳回。
  • 申请预算态势 — 激进(凡通过筛查的全部申请)、筛选(选择最优的几项)或紧缩(仅保护业务必须的)。这形塑输出的建议。
  • 审批链 — 谁签署申请决策,通过筛查的发明由谁转交。
