name: patent-audit
description: Audit a draft U.S. utility patent application before it is filed, against a 316-item checklist grounded in 35 U.S.C., 37 CFR, the MPEP, and current USPTO practice. Runs a deterministic pre-pass over the draft, gates on patentability, inventorship and deadlines, then fans out parallel review agents over the specification, claims, drawings and filing packet, adversarially verifies every fatal finding, and reports ranked defects with honest coverage accounting. Use when asked to audit, review, check, or pre-flight a patent application, provisional, specification, or claim set before filing.

# Pre-filing patent application audit

Audit a draft utility patent application against 316 checklist items and return a
ranked defect list with coverage accounting.

**Not legal advice.** The checklist is grounded in 35 U.S.C., 37 CFR, the MPEP,
and current USPTO materials. Fee amounts, form names and filing mechanics must
be re-verified against current PTO practice, and §101 case law moves. Say so
in the report; the template already does.

## What ships with this skill

| Path | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `reference/checklist_index.json` | All 316 items with routing: `id, part, section, title, check, severity, applies_to, inputs, automation, owner, blocking` |
| `reference/parts/{A..I}_*.md` | Full item text per part — **these are the agent payloads** |
| `scripts/prepass.py` | One command for all of Phase 1 |
| `scripts/parse_application.py` | Draft → structured `parsed.json` |
| `scripts/mechanical_checks.py` | Deterministic checks → `findings_mechanical.json` |
| `scripts/deadlines.py` | Intake → `deadlines.json` with weekend/holiday rollover |
| `scripts/synthesize.py` | All findings → ranked report + coverage |
| `assets/intake.yaml` | The intake questionnaire template |
| `assets/sample_draft.md` | A draft with planted defects, for testing the harness |

Routing is precomputed. Every item carries:

- **`inputs`** — what evidence it consumes: `draft_text` (210 items), `intake_facts` (99),
  `forms_packet` (68), `drawings` (47), `search_report` (40), `prior_art_refs` (20),
  `ppa_text` (20), `parent_app` (13).
- **`automation`** — `mechanical` (28), `assisted` (169), `judgment` (119).
- **`owner`** — which agent runs it.
- **`blocking`** — 105 items halt the audit on failure.

**26 items are answerable only from intake facts.** No document review reaches them:
`A19 A20 A22–A25 A36 C05 C08–C12 C21 D19–D26 D28 D29 I38 I42`. If intake is
skipped, those are `cannot_assess` — never `pass`.

## Core principles

**The draft fits in one context. Parallelize for attention, not capacity.** Every
agent gets the whole application. Never chunk the document across agents —
enablement, antecedent basis and numeral consistency are whole-document properties.

**Never let a model do arithmetic or exhaustive cross-referencing.** Dates, claim
counts, fee tiers, dependency graphs and numeral reconciliation run in code. Models
