Draft patent claims for an invention. An agent skill from AI4Scientist/nano-scientist.

  • Works in 7 steps: Determine Claim Style and Patent Type → Draft Independent Claims → Draft Dependent Claims → …
  • User says 撰写权利要求
  • SKILL.md covers Constants, Inputs, Shared References and Workflow, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Claims Drafting is an agent skill from AI4Scientist/nano-scientist. Draft patent claims for an invention. Use when user says "撰写权利要求", "draft claims", "写权利要求书", "claim drafting", or wants to create patent claims. The core skill of the patent pipeline.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Legal & Compliance, covering Intellectual property. The repository describes itself as: An autonomous research agent that turns a topic into a peer-reviewed technical report.

When your agent uses it

  • User says 撰写权利要求
  • Wants to create patent claims

Example prompts

  • “撰写权利要求”
  • “draft claims”
  • “写权利要求书”
  • “/claims-drafting”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(*), Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, Agent, WebSearch, WebFetch, mcp__codex__codex, mcp__codex__codex-reply

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Determine Claim Style and Patent Type
  2. Draft Independent Claims
  3. Draft Dependent Claims
  4. Claim-to-Specification Mapping
  5. Cross-Model Examiner Review
  6. Revision Loop
  7. Output

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7132192. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash(*)
    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • Agent
    • WebSearch
    • WebFetch
    • mcp__codex__codex

    …and 1 more on the same allowed-tools line.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Claims Drafting loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 917 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash(*), Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, Agent, WebSearch, WebFetch, mcp__codex__codex, mcp__codex__c

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 917 words (~2,446 tokens).
