What it does
Prior Art Search Strategy is an agent skill from revfactory/harness-100. A strategic search methodology for patent prior art investigation. The 'prior-art-researcher' agent must use this skill's search strategies, classification code system, and analysis frameworks when searching prior art and determining novelty and inventive step. Used for 'prior art search', 'novelty determination', 'inventive step analysis', etc. Note: Claim drafting or specification writing is outside the scope of this skill.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Intellectual property
Example prompts
- “prior-art-researcher”
- “prior art search”
- “novelty determination”
- “/prior-art-search-strategy”
Workflow steps
3 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 8e8d35c. 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
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
Prior Art Search Strategy loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 114 tokens; SKILL.md has 190 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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Prior Art Search Strategy — Prior Art Search Strategy Guide
Search strategies, IPC/CPC classification utilization, and analysis frameworks for systematic prior art investigation.
3-Phase Search Strategy Framework
Phase 1: Invention Decomposition
Invention -> Technical Problem -> Solution Means -> Components
Decomposition Matrix:
| Component | Function | Relationship | Tech Field | Core Keywords |
|-----------|----------|-------------|-----------|--------------|
| A | F1 | A->B | Sensor | sensor, detection |
| B | F2 | B->C | AI | neural, learning |
| C | F3 | C->Output | Control | control, adjust |Phase 2: Search Query Design
Keyword Expansion Rules
Core keyword -> Synonyms -> Broader concepts -> Narrower concepts
Example: "artificial intelligence"
Synonyms: AI, machine learning, ML
Broader: data processing, computer system
Narrower: CNN, RNN, transformer, deep learningSearch Query Structure
(Component A keywords OR synonyms) AND
(Component B keywords OR synonyms) AND
(Function/Effect keywords OR synonyms)
Scope adjustment:
Broad search: A AND B (2 elements)
Medium search: A AND B AND C (3 elements)
Narrow search: A AND B AND C AND D (4+ elements)Phase 3: Search Execution Order
| Order | Database | Purpose | Coverage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | KIPRIS (Korean Patents) | Domestic prior art | Korean registrations/publications |
| 2 | Google Patents | Global overview | Worldwide patents |
| 3 | Espacenet (EPO) | Europe and PCT | EP, WO |
| 4 | USPTO (US) | US patents | US |
| 5 | Academic DB (Google Scholar) | Non-patent literature | Papers, theses |
| 6 | Web search | Publicly known technology | Products, blogs, news |
IPC/CPC Classification Code Utilization
Classification Codes by Major Technical Field
| Technical Field | IPC | Description |
|---|---|---|
| IoT/Sensors | G01D, H04W | Measurement, wireless communication |
| AI/Machine Learning | G06N | Computer system-based models |
| Image Processing | G06T, G06V | Image data processing, recognition |
| Blockchain | H04L 9/00 | Cryptographic arrangements |
| Mobile Apps | G06F 3/04 | User interfaces |
| Batteries | H01M | Electrochemical energy |
| Autonomous Driving | B60W, G05D | Vehicle control, route control |
| Biotech | C12N, A61K | Genetic engineering, pharmaceuticals |
Novelty and Inventive Step Judgment Framework
Novelty Analysis Matrix
| Claim Element | Prior Art 1 | Prior Art 2 | Prior Art 3 |
|-------------- |------------|------------|------------|
| A: [element] | O Same | O Same | X Absent |
| B: [element] | O Same | X Absent | O Same |
| C: [element] | X Absent | O Same | X Absent |
| D: [element] | X Absent | X Absent | X Absent |
Judgment: If all elements exist in a single prior art -> No novelty
If even one is missing -> Novelty may be recognizedInventive Step Analysis: TSM Test
T (Teaching): Does the prior art teach the combination?
S (Suggestion): Is there a suggestion to combine in the description?
M (Motivation): Does a person skilled in the art have motivation to combine?
Judgment flow:
1. Select the closest prior art (primary)
2. Identify differentiating elements
3. Search for secondary prior art containing the differentiating elements
4. Determine whether combination motivation exists
5. Check for unexpected effects from the combinationSearch Report Output Structure
