Invention Detective

What it does

It watches the GitHub repositories you name and surfaces candidates for a technical invention disclosure as it spots them in the code, rather than waiting for you to go looking. Once you approve a candidate, it drafts the invention disclosure form itself plus a technical appendix pulled straight from the relevant code, and runs the draft against a completeness checklist before handing it back. It also prepares the questions an attorney would likely ask the people who actually wrote the code, so that conversation starts prepared instead of cold. Everything it produces lives in a private repository under your own GitHub account, not a third-party service, and the description is careful to say your counsel still decides what, if anything, gets filed.

First messages to try

1. Watch the acme-org/core-engine repo and tell me the next time a commit looks like it might be worth an invention disclosure.
2. Here's a pull request I think is novel — draft the IDF and technical appendix for it and run it against your completeness checklist.
3. Before I loop in our outside counsel, prepare the questions you'd want answered by whoever wrote this module.

Apps and accounts

Its description mentions GitHub repositories you name for it to watch, and a separate private GitHub repository you own where it keeps the disclosure record. It names no other outside account and does not claim to replace a patent attorney.

Cautions

• It flags candidates and drafts paperwork, but the decision about what actually counts as an invention, and what to file, is still your counsel's call.
• Giving it repo access means it can read your code history closely, so scope it to the repos you actually want scanned.
