Description
Perform patent novelty searches by analyzing technical solutions, retrieving and ranking related patents, comparing features, and generating a detailed novel...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent for performing patent novelty searches, but it will send whatever technical description you provide to public patent search sites (e.g., patents.google.com) as part of its normal operation — do not submit confidential invention disclosures unless you are comfortable with that exposure. Consider redacting sensitive details or using a private/paying patent-database account if privacy is required. Verify how the agent will generate the Word report (does your agent have a docx exporter or will it upload content to an external conversion service?). Note the SKILL.md includes a commercial Patsnap product link in the disclaimer — this is just promotional text, not hidden code, but be aware of potential vendor tie-ins. If you need autonomous operation over sensitive data, require an NDA or restrict the skill to user-invoked use only; otherwise it is functionally consistent with its description.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: patent-novelty-search
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle defines a legitimate workflow for conducting patent novelty searches, including technical feature extraction, automated retrieval via Google Patents, and report generation. It utilizes standard OpenClaw tools like `browser_use` and `docx` for their intended purposes and contains no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious code execution, or prompt injection attacks. The inclusion of professional search strategies and a disclaimer (referencing Patsnap Inc.) further aligns with its stated objective.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description (patent novelty search) match the SKILL.md content. The skill asks the agent to extract technical elements, run searches on patent databases (prioritizing patents.google.com), rank and compare patents, and produce a report — all coherent with the stated purpose. There are no unrelated environment variables, binaries, or install steps requested.
Instruction Scope
Instructions explicitly direct the agent to use a browser tool to query Google Patents (and fallbacks) and to retrieve at least 50 patents and record their metadata. This is expected for novelty searches but means user-provided technical descriptions will be sent to public patent search endpoints. The SKILL.md does not require reading local files or unrelated system state. It also requests creation of a Word report but does not describe the mechanism or dependencies for producing .docx files.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — lowest-risk delivery model. Nothing is downloaded or written by the skill itself (instruction-only).
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. This is proportionate to the stated functionality. Note: because it uses public web searches, sensitive input will be disclosed to remote services (patent databases/search engines) during normal operation.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and default invocation settings. The skill does not request permanent presence or modify other skills or system-wide configs. Autonomous invocation is allowed by platform default but is not elevated by this skill.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install patent-novelty-search - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/patent-novelty-search - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
