What it does

Patent Review is an agent skill from AI4Scientist/nano-scientist. Get an external patent examiner review of a patent application. Use when user says "专利审查", "patent review", "审查意见", "examiner review", or wants critical feedback on patent claims and specification.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k 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 Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: An autonomous research agent that turns a topic into a peer-reviewed technical report.

When your agent uses it

  • Examiner review
  • Wants critical feedback on patent claims and specification

Example prompts

  • “patent review”
  • “examiner review”
  • “/patent-review”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

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

  1. Gather Patent Context
  2. Round 1 — Full Examiner Review
  3. Implement Fixes (Round 1)
  4. Round 2 — Follow-Up Review
  5. Generate Improvement Report

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
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Agent
    • mcp__codex__codex
    • mcp__codex__codex-reply

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • claude

    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 Review loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 327 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~53
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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.

    allowed-tools: Bash(*), Read, Grep, Glob, Write, Edit, Agent, mcp__codex__codex, mcp__codex__codex-reply

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 327 words (~1,631 tokens).
