investigation-reporting

name	investigation-reporting
description	Outputs a progress report for the current patent investigation workflow. Triggered when the user asks for: - Progress summary: "What is the current progress?", "Give me a summary", "How is the investigation going?", "Show me the status" - Specific patent report: "Tell me about US1234567A", "Report on patent US1234567A", "What's the status of US1234567A?"

Investigation Report

Your task is to report the current status of the patent analysis workflow.

For External Skills and Agents

WARNING: DO NOT read files from references/instructions/ directory. Those are internal reference files for this skill's internal use only. You MAY read files from assets/ directory — those are templates you must follow.

To use this skill:

1. Invoke via Skill tool: Skill: investigation-reporting
2. Provide your request with data
3. The skill will handle all operations automatically

Example requests:

• "What is the current progress?"
• "Give me a summary"
• "Tell me about US20240292070A1"
• "What's the status of patent US9876543B2?"

Internal Reference (For This Skill Only)

The following sections are for the skill's internal operations when processing requests from external agents.

Process

Step 0: Read Template (MANDATORY)

Before doing anything else, read the template file.

• For overall progress: Read assets/investigation-report-template.md
• For specific patent: Read assets/specific-patent-report-template.md

You MUST use the exact section names and metric names from the template. Do NOT invent your own structure.

Step 1: Determine Report Mode

Based on the user's request, determine which mode to use:

Overall Progress Report Mode (default):

• User asks: "What is the current progress?", "Give me a summary", "How is the investigation going?"
• Refer to: references/instructions/overall-progress-report.md

Specific Patent Report Mode:

• User asks: "Tell me about US1234567A", "Report on patent US1234567A"
• Refer to: references/instructions/specific-patent-report.md

Output

CRITICAL: Use the Write tool to create the report file.

• For overall progress: Create PROGRESS.md in the project root directory.
• For specific patent: Create <patent_id>.md in the project root directory.

DO NOT just output the report as text - you MUST use the Write tool to save it.

CRITICAL: Read and follow the template from assets/investigation-report-template.md or assets/specific-patent-report-template.md exactly. Use the exact section names and metric names. Do NOT invent your own section names or metric names.

Internal Workflows (For This Skill Only)

Workflow 1: Overall Progress Report

1. External: "What is the current progress?"
2. Internal: Read references/instructions/overall-progress-report.md → Follow the process steps → Read template from assets/investigation-report-template.md → Generate report using EXACT section/metric names from template → Write to PROGRESS.md → Run legal-checking

Workflow 2: Specific Patent Report

1. External: "Tell me about US20240292070A1"
2. Internal: Extract patent ID → Query all data from DB via investigation-fetching → Format report using template → Write to <patent_id>.md → Run legal-checking

State Management

Initial State

• No PROGRESS.md file exists (for overall progress)

Final State

• PROGRESS.md created in project root with current investigation status (for overall progress)
• <patent_id>.md created in project root with patent report (for specific patent)

Internal References (For This Skill Only)

These files are for the skill's internal use when processing requests. External agents should NOT read these:

• references/instructions/: Mode-specific operation instructions
  • overall-progress-report.md: Overall progress report generation
  • specific-patent-report.md: Single patent detailed report
• assets/: Templates and reference materials
  • investigation-report-template.md: Standard report template

IMPORTANT: External agents should invoke this skill via the Skill tool, not access these internal files directly.
