Adding an MCP tool involves registering it with decorator-based tool registration, implementing type hints and Pydantic validation, writing tests, and integrating it into the existing workflow. This Skill provides step-by-step guidance, code templates, and validation scaffolds to ensure your tool follows established patterns and aligns with RAG search workflows.

Best practices include decorator-based tool registration, type hints, Pydantic validation, robust logging, and alignment with existing patterns. This Skill enforces adherence to these standards through guided workflows, ensuring new features, analyzers, and configurations integrate correctly without introducing errors or performance issues.

Yes, this Skill provides guidance on modifying the search and retrieval pipeline to enhance performance. It covers configuration options, BigQuery queries, and analyzer creation, helping you tailor the RAG workflow to specific patent analysis needs while maintaining compatibility with existing components.

Creating an analyzer requires implementing Pydantic validation, decorator-based registration, writing test scaffolds, and adding robust logging. This Skill walks through the full development workflow, from planning and implementation through validation and documentation, ensuring your analyzer integrates seamlessly into the system.

You should understand the existing codebase patterns, MCP tool architecture, Pydantic validation requirements, and RAG search workflows. This Skill assumes intermediate development knowledge and guides onboarding and integration of new components into the Claude Patent Creator.
