invention-intake

Invention disclosure first-pass screen — novelty, obviousness, §101 eligibility, bar dates, detectability, and strategic value. Use when an invention disclosure comes in and needs triage on whether to pursue a prior-art search and patent counsel review, investigate further, or decline.

Quality

Content

77%Weight 40%Scale 1-3

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A thorough, highly actionable screening workflow with clear sequencing and gating, weakened mainly by redundancy in its disclaimers and a monolithic structure with no progressive disclosure. Fixing the repetition and splitting reference material into bundled files would lift the two lowest dimensions.

Suggestions

Consolidate the 'first-pass screen, not a patentability opinion' / 'never say patentable' disclaimer into a single authoritative statement instead of repeating it across the intro, dedicated section, and guardrails.

De-duplicate the practice-profile loading instructions (currently in both the 'Instructions' step 1 and the 'Load the practice profile first' section).

Move the detailed per-screen red/green flag rubrics and the memo template into reference files under references/ (e.g., SCREENS.md, MEMO-TEMPLATE.md) and link to them from SKILL.md to improve progressive disclosure.

Resolve the 'five screens' vs six-screen inconsistency in the Workflow Step 2 heading.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Mostly efficient domain-specific screening guidance, but padded by repetition — the 'first-pass screen, not a patentability opinion' / 'never say patentable' disclaimer recurs 3–4 times and the practice-profile-loading instructions appear twice — so it fits 'mostly efficient but could be tightened' rather than fully lean.

2 / 3

Actionability

Highly actionable for an instruction-only skill: a concrete seven-question intake batch, six screens each with red/green flags and worked examples, a copy-paste memo template, and a five-branch decision tree — matching 'specific examples; copy-paste ready'.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Clear sequence (intake → six screens → assemble memo → verdict) with explicit checkpoints (placeholder gate, wait-for-full-disclosure, practice-profile routing, time-sensitive flagging); a minor 'five screens' vs six inconsistency exists but does not break the gated workflow.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

Well-organized with clear headers, but the ~470-line body is a single monolith with no external reference files and no bundle files present; content that could be split (detailed screen rubrics, memo template) is inline, fitting 'content that should be separate is inline'.

Description

85%Weight 40%Scale 1-3

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, specific description with an explicit 'Use when' trigger and a clear, distinctive niche; the only weakness is limited coverage of common user phrasings beyond the specialized legal vocabulary. Voice is correctly third person.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Explicitly enumerates six concrete screening dimensions — 'novelty, obviousness, §101 eligibility, bar dates, detectability, and strategic value' — matching the rubric's 'lists multiple specific concrete actions' anchor rather than vague language.

3 / 3

Completeness

Clearly answers both what ('Invention disclosure first-pass screen — novelty, obviousness, §101 eligibility, bar dates, detectability, and strategic value') and when via an explicit 'Use when an invention disclosure comes in' clause, so it is not capped at 2.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Contains strong domain keywords ('invention disclosure', 'prior-art search', 'patent counsel review') but misses common natural variations a user might say ('should I patent this', 'is this worth filing'), fitting the 'some relevant keywords but missing common variations' anchor.

2 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The invention-disclosure triage niche is highly specific with distinct triggers ('invention disclosure comes in and needs triage'), making it unlikely to fire for the wrong skill.
