The Agent Skills Directory

[SAFE]: The skill implements a comprehensive and disciplined framework for patent search and analysis. Key security and integrity features include:
Strict Intake Routing: Mandatory sub-use-case selection ensures that search strategies (novelty, FTO, landscape, etc.) are correctly scoped to prevent misleading results.
Official/Trusted Data Sources: All searches are conducted against established patent offices and well-known services (USPTO, Google Patents, Espacenet, Lens.org).
Sequential Discipline: A rate-limiting script (citation_tracker.py) enforces 1-second gaps between requests to prevent accidental denial-of-service or bot-blocking behavior.
Mandatory Legal Safety: The skill enforces a rigorous legal disclaimer discipline, particularly for high-consequence sub-use-cases like novelty and Freedom-to-Operate (FTO), emphasizing that findings are technical assessments and not legal advice.
Data Integrity: Scripts like family_resolver.py and citation_tracker.py use standard libraries for deterministic data aggregation and deduplication without risky dynamic execution or external dependencies.
