# Patlytics agent skills for Claude Code, Cursor and RevampKey

> Ready-made Patlytics playbooks for AI agents: brief a patent's claims with Patlytics AI, map the prior art around an invention with Patlytics. Free SKILL.md files for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex, or one click in RevampKey.

## Skills

- [Use the Patlytics patent connector with AI](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/patlytics/skills/essentials.md): Shows how to use Patlytics patent search from an AI assistant: which tool fits which question, how to read vault results, and what to do when access fails. Every tool is read-only, and the assistant asks before changing any account or workspace setting.
- [Brief a patent's claims with Patlytics AI](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/patlytics/skills/patent-claim-brief.md): Pulls one patent by publication number, separates independent from dependent claims, and explains in plain English what it claims and how broad it is. Read-only; it does not judge validity or infringement.
- [Map the prior art around an invention with Patlytics](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/patlytics/skills/prior-art-landscape-scan.md): Describe an idea in plain language and get a map of existing patents and papers around it, grouped by approach, with where it overlaps and where it may leave room. It confirms the closest hits before counting them and never judges novelty for you.

### What is a Patlytics agent skill?

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

### Do the Patlytics 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 Patlytics.

### 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 Patlytics; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

### Do I need the Patlytics MCP server too?

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