Search patent databases and academic literature for prior art relevant to an invention. Use when user says "现有技术检索", "prior art search", "专利检索", "check patents", or wants to find relevant prior art.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Prior Art Search

Search patents and literature for prior art relevant to: **$ARGUMENTS**

Adapted from `/research-lit` for patent-specific searching.

## Constants

- `MAX_PATENT_RESULTS = 20` — Maximum patent documents to analyze in detail
- `MAX_PAPER_RESULTS = 15` — Maximum academic papers to analyze in detail
- `SEARCH_YEARS = 10` — How many years back to search
- `PATENT_DATABASES = "google-patents, espacenet"` — Patent databases to search

## Inputs

Read the invention description from:
1. `$ARGUMENTS` if it contains technical details
2. `patent/INVENTION_BRIEF.md` if it exists
3. `INVENTION_BRIEF.md` if it exists at project root

## Shared References

Load `../shared-references/prior-art-databases.md` for search strategy templates and IPC/CPC classification guidance.

## Workflow

### Step 1: Extract Search Concepts

From the invention description, identify:
1. **Core inventive concept**: The primary technical contribution (1-2 sentences)
2. **Technical problem**: What problem it solves
3. **Key technical features**: 4-6 specific technical elements that define the invention
4. **IPC/CPC classes**: Predict relevant classification codes (e.g., G06N, G06F)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add wanshuiyin/auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep/prior-art-search@sha256:8793fb26c522de4c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260713.e67ae16, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
