Patent Exam Policy

Produces a briefing on recent CNIPA patent examination policy and its impact on disclosure drafting.

What it does

This skill generates a policy briefing that compares recent CNIPA examination positions and explains how they affect the wording of an invention disclosure and the current draft, while also noting application document formalities. It reads layered source seeds and topic-to-file mappings, then emits a briefing into an outputs/exam-policy directory covering an implementation calendar, effects on disclosure wording, and effects on application document wording. By default it only produces the briefing and does not modify the disclosure or application package; changing the skill itself is a side path that requires the user to explicitly ask.

When to use it

Use it when the user explicitly invokes it by name, such as a policy briefing, policy radar, examination policy update, or the corresponding slash commands. It is intended for checking recent examination policy before or while preparing an invention disclosure. Skill evolution shares the same entry point but still produces the briefing first.

Requirements

Instructions only; no scripts are shipped. It relies on the bundled reference files (source seeds and topic-to-file mapping) and prompt files, and it needs access to the cited policy sources to research current examination positions. Output is written to an outputs/exam-policy directory.
