What it does
General Patent Search is an agent skill from learningmatter-mit/AtomisticSkills. Search for patents by keyword, material name, or assignee using free data sources (Google Patents).
Its SKILL.md is about 540 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts (for example `examples/tetrafluoropropene_refrigerants/README.md`, `examples/tetrafluoropropene_refrigerants/results.json` and `scripts/query_google_patents.py`).
It sits in Legal & Compliance, covering Intellectual property. The repository describes itself as: Integrating AtomisticSkills into Agentic IDEs (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Google Antigravity, Hermes Agent, etc). The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Intellectual property
Example prompts
- “/general-patent-search”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6257444. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
patents.google.comgithub.com
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
General Patent Search loads about 540 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 30 tokens; SKILL.md has 186 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Goal
To retrieve patent information (titles, assignees, dates, and snippets) for specific materials, chemicals, or technologies to assess novelty, freedom-to-operate, and existing intellectual property landscapes. This skill uses Google Patents for free, global, no-key-required patent querying.
Instructions
1. Identify Target and Scope
Determine exactly what you are searching for.
- Are you looking for a specific chemical? (e.g., "tetrafluoropropene")
- Are you looking for a specific company's IP? (e.g., assignee "SK Innovation")
2. Search Strategy (Google Patents)
Use the python script to query Google Patents. It will return global patents matching your query string.
${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../venv/run cpu python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/query_google_patents.py "query string" --limit 10Examples
Searching for recent global patents on a novel refrigerant by chemical name:
${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../venv/run cpu python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/query_google_patents.py "tetrafluoropropene OR HFO-1234yf" --limit 5Searching for global patents assigned to SK Innovation regarding electrolytes:
${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../venv/run cpu python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/query_google_patents.py "assignee:(SK Innovation) AND electrolyte" --limit 5Constraints
- Environments: The script requires the
cpuenvironment. - Google Patents Limits: The scraping script is sensitive to IP rate-limiting. Do not set
--limitexcessively high (keep under 50). - Chemical Structures: This tool performs text-based searches. It does not perform exact Substructure or Tanimoto similarity searches natively. You must provide textual synonyms (e.g., IUPAC names, trade names) for accurate chemical retrieval.
