The Agent Skills Directory

[SAFE]: The skill provides instructions and Python code snippets for interacting with official USPTO (uspto.gov) and PatentsView (patentsview.org) APIs. These are well-known and trusted official/academic resources.
[CREDENTIALS_UNSAFE]: The skill explicitly instructs users to store API keys in environment variables (USPTO_API_KEY, PATENTSVIEW_API_KEY) rather than hardcoding them, which is a security best practice for secret management.
[EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill references official documentation and API endpoints from uspto.gov and patentsview.org. These are trusted domains for intellectual property data and do not present a security risk.
[INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: While the skill processes external patent and trademark data, it includes requirements for reproducible logging and manual verification of facts versus analysis, which helps mitigate risks associated with untrusted data content.
