Clerq agent skills for Claude Code, Cursor and RevampKey

3 ready-made playbooks that teach an AI agent how to do real Clerq work: which tools to call, what to check first, and when to stop and ask you.

Download RevampKey, free I have it: connect Clerq

Connect Clerq once and all 3 skills install themselves and stay up to date. Mac, Windows and Linux.

All 3 Clerq skills

Each skill is one job. You ask in plain words and the agent loads the skill that matches, then follows its steps.

Use Clerq MCP for patent search

Shows you how to sign in, pick the right Clerq patent tool, and keep search results manageable. It confirms the account before searching and asks before starting any triage run.

Use it when

You have just connected Clerq and want to know what it can do.
A patent search returned an error or an unexpected empty list.
You need to decide between a natural-language search, a similarity lookup and a full triage.

Tools it uses

natural_language_patent_search
find_similar_patents
get_patents
start_patentability_triage
get_patentability_triage

Example

Connect to Clerq and find patents similar to my drone docking invention, but check which account you are searching first.

Before searching, I need to confirm which Clerq account to use, since results differ by account. Once you confirm, I will run a natural-language search on the drone docking description, read the first page, and keep the most relevant matches in a short list. I will not start a triage run without your explicit yes.

Review a patentability triage with Clerq MCP

Scopes an invention, runs or reads a Clerq patentability triage, and turns the prior-art evidence into a caveated assessment for a patent professional. It asks before starting a new triage or changing the account.

Use it when

You want a first look at whether an invention looks novel over the prior art
You have an existing triage and need it read and summarised with its limits
You need to check which claim features have prior-art disclosure and which are open

Tools it uses

get_patentability_triage
start_patentability_triage
get_patents
natural_language_patent_search
find_similar_patents

Example

Run a patentability triage on our battery thermal management claims and tell me which features look most at risk.

I would first confirm the core concept, the claim features and the priority date, then show you what the new triage will submit and wait for your yes before starting it. Once it returns, I would report the two strongest references, which claim features each one discloses, and the features with no disclosure found in the searched sources. I would also flag any reference published after the priority date and note that a patent professional must make the final determination.

Build a prior-art search brief with Clerq

Turns an invention or patent into a prior-art shortlist with reasons for inclusion and exclusion. It runs natural-language and similarity searches and checks candidates against the core inventive concept, not just the keywords.

Use it when

You need the closest existing patents to a new invention before filing.
You want to check whether a specific patent has close relatives in the record.
You want a shortlist with the reason each document was kept or dropped.

Tools it uses

natural_language_patent_search
find_similar_patents
get_patents

Example

Find prior art for our invention: a sensor pad that detects grip pressure through a flexible conductive polymer and adjusts a prosthetic hand's motor torque. Give me the closest documents and why.

I searched using two problem-focused descriptions and one similarity search from the strongest hit. Of 38 candidates, 4 are relevant: two disclose a pressure-sensing layer driving actuator torque, and two are family members of one earlier filing. I excluded 25 that matched only on generic prosthetic hardware, and 9 that were published after your priority date. The main gap is that none of the four discloses the polymer composition, so that point needs a closer read.

How Clerq skills work

Connect Clerq
The Clerq MCP server gives the agent its tools.
Ask in plain words
“Run a patentability triage on our battery thermal management claims and tell me which features look most at risk.” Each SKILL.md says when it applies, so only the one that fits is loaded.
Approve any change
The agent calls the tools in order, checks its work, and shows you any change before it makes it.

How to install Clerq skills

In RevampKey the skills install themselves when you connect Clerq. In other tools each skill is one folder with a SKILL.md file, and you also need the Clerq MCP server connected there.

About 1 minute · nothing to copy

Clerq skills FAQ

What is a Clerq agent skill?

A SKILL.md file: a short playbook an AI agent loads when your request matches it. Each Clerq skill describes one job, which Clerq tools to use in which order, what to check first and when to stop and ask you.

Do the Clerq skills change anything on their own?

3 of the 3 only read. The others tell the agent to show you the change and wait for a yes before it creates, edits or deletes anything in Clerq.

Which tools can use these skills?

Any agent that reads the open Agent Skills format: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code with Copilot and RevampKey. In RevampKey they are attached when you connect Clerq; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

Do I need the Clerq MCP server too?

Yes. The skills tell the agent how to do the work; the Clerq MCP server gives it the tools to do it. The Clerq MCP setup guide covers every client.
