Patents Search

专利搜索

Search the complete global patent database using natural language queries powered by Valyu's semantic search API.
使用由Valyu语义搜索API驱动的自然语言查询，搜索完整的全球专利数据库。

Why This Skill is Powerful

为何该功能如此强大

  • No API Parameter Parsing: Just pass natural language queries directly - no need to construct complex search parameters
  • Semantic Search: Understands the meaning of your query, not just keyword matching
  • Full-Text Access: Returns complete patent information including claims, descriptions, and technical details
  • Image Links: Includes patent diagrams and figures when available
  • Comprehensive Coverage: Access to global patent data across jurisdictions
  • 无需解析API参数：直接传入自然语言查询即可 - 无需构建复杂的搜索参数
  • 语义搜索：理解查询的含义，而非仅进行关键词匹配
  • 全文访问：返回完整的专利信息，包括权利要求、说明书和技术细节
  • 图片链接：在可用时包含专利图表和附图
  • 全面覆盖：可访问全球各司法管辖区的专利数据

Requirements

要求

  1. Node.js 18+ (uses built-in fetch)
  2. Valyu API key from https://platform.valyu.ai ($10 free credits)
  1. Node.js 18+（使用内置的fetch）
  2. 从https://platform.valyu.ai获取Valyu API密钥（赠送10美元免费额度）

CRITICAL: Script Path Resolution

重要提示：脚本路径解析

The 
scripts/search
commands in this documentation are relative to this skill's installation directory.
Before running any command, locate the script using:
bash
PATENTS_SCRIPT=$(find ~/.claude/plugins/cache -name "search" -path "*/patents-search/*/scripts/*" -type f 2>/dev/null | head -1)
Then use the full path for all commands:
bash
$PATENTS_SCRIPT "CRISPR gene editing methods" 15
本文档中的
scripts/search
命令是相对于该功能的安装目录的相对路径。
在运行任何命令之前，请使用以下命令定位脚本：
bash
PATENTS_SCRIPT=$(find ~/.claude/plugins/cache -name "search" -path "*/patents-search/*/scripts/*" -type f 2>/dev/null | head -1)
然后使用完整路径执行所有命令：
bash
$PATENTS_SCRIPT "CRISPR gene editing methods" 15

API Key Setup Flow

API密钥设置流程

When you run a search and receive 
"setup_required": true
, follow this flow:
  1. Ask the user for their API key: "To search patents, I need your Valyu API key. Get one free ($10 credits) at https://platform.valyu.ai"
  2. Once the user provides the key, run:
    bash
    scripts/search setup <api-key>
  3. Retry the original search.
当您运行搜索并收到
"setup_required": true
时，请按照以下流程操作：
  1. 向用户索要API密钥： "要搜索专利，我需要您的Valyu API密钥。可从https://platform.valyu.ai免费获取（赠送10美元额度）"
  2. 用户提供密钥后，运行以下命令：
    bash
    scripts/search setup <api-key>
  3. 重试原搜索。
