  "description": "Patent prior-art and landscape intelligence skill — not generic patent help. Commits to one of five sub-use-cases via forcing intake (novelty search / freedom-to-operate / competitive landscape / acquisition diligence / litigation prior-art) before any search runs. Searches Google Patents, Espacenet, USPTO, and optionally Lens.org for citation-graph signals. Output is an editable Word document (.docx) with verdict, ranked closest art (claim-text extracted), CPC-class-aware landscape, family-resolved hits, geographic coverage, FTO flags where applicable, strategy recommendations, and full audit log. Triggers: 'prior art search for [invention]', 'patent search on [topic]', 'freedom to operate analysis', 'FTO for [product]', 'patent landscape for [field]', 'is [invention] novel', 'patents on [topic]', 'competitive patent analysis', 'prior art for litigation', 'patent diligence on [company]'. Produces search signal, not legal advice — always recommends consulting a patent attorney before filing or licensing decisions. Trademark, copyright, and trade-secret questions are out of scope.",
