Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • Declares what it does: failed

    No SKILL.md was found in the skill's directory.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned microck/ordinary-claude-skills at 1056d293d4.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill allows you to query the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) database. It can retrieve information about patents, trademarks, and related legal documents, providing details like application dates, inventors/applicants, classifications, and more. The skill facilitates searching for specific patent or trademark records based on keywords or registration numbers.

When to use it

  • Researching prior art for a new invention: Quickly check if similar inventions already exist in the USPTO database.
  • Trademark availability search: Determine if a desired trademark is already registered.
  • Tracking patent application status: Monitor the progress of a pending patent application.
  • Investigating competitor patents: Analyze patents held by competitors to understand their technology and strategies.

Key capabilities

  • Patent Search
  • Trademark Search
  • Retrieval of Application Details
  • Access to Legal Document Information

Example prompts

  • "Find all patents related to 'electric vehicle charging'."
  • "What is the status of trademark application number 12345678?"
  • "Show me details for US Patent 9876543."

Tips & gotchas

The USPTO database contains a vast amount of information. Be as specific as possible in your prompts to narrow down results and avoid overwhelming the AI agent.
