# Clerq agent skills for Claude Code, Cursor and RevampKey

> Ready-made Clerq playbooks for AI agents: review a patentability triage with Clerq MCP, build a prior-art search brief with Clerq. Free SKILL.md files for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex, or one click in RevampKey.

## Skills

- [Use Clerq MCP for patent search](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/clerq-mcp/skills/essentials.md): 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.
- [Review a patentability triage with Clerq MCP](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/clerq-mcp/skills/patentability-triage-review.md): 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.
- [Build a prior-art search brief with Clerq](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/clerq-mcp/skills/prior-art-search-brief.md): 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.

### 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.
