What it does
Patent Reviewer is an agent skill from RobThePCGuy/Claude-Patent-Creator. Expert system for reviewing utility patent applications against USPTO MPEP guidelines.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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. It works with Google BigQuery. 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
Example prompts
- “/patent-reviewer”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Discovery (10-15 min) - Gather invention details
- Technology Analysis (5 min) - Assess patentability (101, 102, 103)
- Specification Drafting (15-20 min) - Background, summary, detailed description
- Claims Drafting (10-15 min) - Independent + dependent claims
- Diagrams & Abstract (10-15 min) - Block diagrams, flowcharts, abstract
- Automatic Validation (5-10 min) - Runs /full-review, provides fixes
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 and bash).
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
Patent Reviewer loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 467 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.

Best Practices
Before Review:
- Prepare complete application
- Run /full-review
- Address critical issues first
During Review:
- Focus on critical issues (antecedent basis, claim support, definiteness)
- Use MPEP citations
- Iterate until compliant
After Review:
- Document compliance
- Final /full-review validation
- Prepare filing package
Common Review Findings
Critical (Must Fix):
- Missing antecedent basis
- Claim elements unsupported
- Abstract exceeds 150 words
- Indefinite language
Important (Should Fix):
- Subjective terms without criteria
- Weak enablement
- Inconsistent terminology
Minor (Optional):
- Add example embodiments
- Strengthen best mode
- Improve claim scope
