What problem does it solve? Drafting a patent that competitors cannot easily design around is expensive and error-prone. This Skill runs a structured adversarial loop that attacks a draft or pending U.S. utility patent with fresh competitor subagents, then adjudicates each proposed workaround against claim scope, invention umbrella, disclosure support, and prior art before any amendment is made. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Adversarial design-around testing: Fresh subagents act as competitor product architects, systematically mutating claim limitations to find credible workarounds that preserve the invention's value proposition. - Version-locked state tracking: The coverage_state.py script hashes challenge packets, binds adversary reports and adjudications to exact versions, and blocks promotion until two qualifying fresh-adversary cycles complete. - Gated amendment workflow: Every proposed claim or disclosure change passes new-matter, written-description, enablement, prior-art, eligibility, definiteness, and prosecution-risk gates before integration. - Use Case: An inventor with a pre-filing draft runs the skill to discover that a competitor could swap a claimed server-side process for an edge-device equivalent, then adds a supported independent claim and dependent fallbacks covering that mechanism. ## Quick Start Use the patent-workaround skill to adversarially pressure-test my draft utility patent application and identify credible design-arounds before filing.
