oh-my-patent

Meet Archimedes. Turn your “Eureka!” into a patent disclosure.

A patent workflow toolkit for Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode, available as a plugin or a portable Agent Skill. Archimedes orchestrates specialist agents across research, ideation, drafting, review, and diagrams—with traceable, forkable decision paths.

Quick start

Choose Plugin for Archimedes with 14 agents, 6 skills and 9 commands, or Skill for one portable entry with bundled role resources and runtime. Node.js >=22 is required. Both modes support Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode. Run installation commands in your patent workspace.

Plugin installation (default)

npm install -g oh-my-patent
oh-my-patent adapt install

The first command installs the CLI globally for project management. The second installs the plugin configurations for Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode in the current workspace. To install only one host, optionally append --tool claude-code, --tool codex or --tool opencode to the second command.

Open the workspace in your host and select Archimedes; see the usage guide for enabling its entry point.

Skill installation

Use the Skills CLI with Git and Node.js >=22.20:

npx skills add illusionaireal/oh-my-patent

The installer discovers the packaged oh-my-patent Skill and detects hosts. When prompted, select Claude Code, Codex or OpenCode, Project scope and Copy to install the complete Skill and runtime into the current workspace. Append --skill oh-my-patent --copy to select the Skill and copy method explicitly. Open the workspace in the selected host and select oh-my-patent. For use across projects, append --global for user-level installation. No global oh-my-patent CLI is required. This command follows the repository’s default branch; npm @latest follows the latest published package.

Environment checks and host-specific manual commands: sentinel guide.

Retrieval and drawing readiness

The sentinel checks the runtime and reports research and drawing readiness separately. Research needs an available retrieval source; academic-only retrieval requires explicit acceptance of its limits. A configured MCP server still needs an actual host-tool check. Existing evidence can support independent drafting or drawing while a retrieval gap is resolved.

For each figure, the workflow reuses an available saved local choice, then tries the local preference, direct SVG or another available local renderer. Missing Mermaid does not block startup. If the host supports timed selection, no response within 30 seconds uses the current local default; otherwise the default is immediate. Hosts bound local rendering to 60 seconds; a recorded failure or timeout can switch once from a local renderer to available SVG. No available local option stops that figure. Defaults do not authorize remote calls or spending. Drafts can proceed without preview, but final required figures need preview, current review and human acceptance.

Start a project

Open the same workspace in your selected host. For plugin mode, select Archimedes; for Skill mode, select oh-my-patent. Describe your topic, for example:

Create a patent project about homomorphic encryption in privacy-preserving computing.

Archimedes guides you through collecting material, developing ideas, drafting the disclosure and reviewing it. See compatibility for host-specific requirements, and the installation guide for source builds, version selection, updates and removal.

What you can do

The project brings the disclosure, its supporting material, and its decision history together in one project directory. Rendering engines and retrieval services have their own setup requirements; see the usage guide.

From idea to disclosure

Overview of the ten stages, grouped by purpose. Arrows back to research and drafting show where further work may be needed.

Review can return to earlier stages. The workflow reference shows the supported transitions and explains scoring decisions separately from stage changes.

How the team works

The agent reference lists the 14 registered agents, 6 skills, 9 commands, and their roles. Actual dispatch uses the capabilities of the selected host.
