What it does
Epc Search is an agent skill from RobThePCGuy/Claude-Patent-Creator. RAG search across EPC provisions, EPO Guidelines for Examination, and PCT rules for European and international patent law research
Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k 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 and Retrieval-augmented generation. The repository describes itself as: USPTO patent creation system with MCP server + Claude Code plugin. Hybrid RAG search over MPEP/USC/CFR, BigQuery access to 76M+ patents, automated 35 USC 112 compliance checks… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Intellectual property
- Tasks that involve Retrieval-augmented generation
Example prompts
- “/epc-search”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- EPC Search (European Patent Convention)
- EPO Guidelines Search (Guidelines for Examination)
- PCT Rules Search (Patent Cooperation Treaty)
- Cross-Jurisdiction Comparison
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a089731. 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 python).
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
Epc Search loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 35 tokens; SKILL.md has 719 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.

EPC/EPO LEGAL RESEARCH RESULTS
=================================
Query: "claim clarity requirements"
Jurisdiction: EPO (EPC + Guidelines)
[1] Art. 84 EPC - The Claims
"The claims shall define the matter for which protection
is sought. They shall be clear, concise and be supported
by the description."
EPO Guidelines F-IV, 4 - Clarity
"Each claim should be read giving the words the meaning
and scope which they normally have in the relevant art..."
Key Points:
- Claims must be clear on their own (not by reference to spec)
- Technical terms given their normal meaning in the art
- Relative terms need objective reference point
- Functional features must be verifiable
[2] Rule 43(1) EPC - Form and content of claims
"...shall contain: (a) a statement indicating the designation
of the subject-matter and those technical features necessary
for the definition... (preamble); and (b) a characterising
portion preceded by 'characterised in that'..."
EPO Guidelines F-IV, 3.2 - Two-part form
"Independent claims should normally be in the two-part form..."

Run `npx skills add RobThePCGuy/Claude-Patent-Creator --skill epc-search -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/epc-search in RobThePCGuy/Claude-Patent-Creator) into .agents/skills/epc-search in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Epc Search in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add RobThePCGuy/Claude-Patent-Creator --skill epc-search -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/epc-search, .gemini/skills/epc-search, .github/skills/epc-search and .opencode/skills/epc-search in your project.
What does Epc Search need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Epc Search is instructions for the agent only. Our summary lists: Python 3.
Does Epc Search access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Epc Search safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Epc Search use?
Epc Search is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Epc Search use?
About 2.2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 8.9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
What are the alternatives to Epc Search?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Epc Search: Paper to Chinese Patent Drafter (Yuan1z0825/nature-skills, 46k stars), Paper To Cn Patent (snipp-zha/Paper-to-patent-Skill, 105 stars), Patent Examine (gfodor/legal-skills, 393 stars) and Tw Legal RAG (aa0101181514/tw-legal-rag, 327 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
