Cross-Cutting: End-to-End — Discovering Invention -> ai-coe-docs Mirror

FCC v1.4.3 established ai-coe-docs as the single source of truth for ecosystem patent material. The lifecycle from "we just noticed we did something novel" to "the claim is drafted, mirrored, and audited" touches the IP Evaluation Analyst persona, the patent_mirror validator, and the QG-IP-CONS quality gate. These six prompts walk the full arc.

Personas Used

Persona ID Full Name Role
eng Engineer Disclosed invention
ipe IP Evaluation Analyst Novelty eval
pat Patent Author Claim drafting
aud Compliance Auditor Mirror audit

Prompt 1: Disclosure

Personas: eng

Prompt

A developer just shipped a novel dual-bus observability pattern.
Produce the 1-page invention disclosure form: title, one-sentence
abstract, problem statement, solution sketch (prose only, no
code), prior art awareness, inventors, date.

Keep it honest — if prior art is suspected, say so.

Expected Output

  • 1-page disclosure
  • Prior-art honesty
  • Inventor list

Prompt 2: Novelty Evaluation

Personas: ipe

Prompt

ipe, perform a novelty assessment on the disclosure from
Prompt 1. Score on 4 axes: novelty, non-obviousness,
practical-utility, patentable subject-matter. Each 0-10. End
with a recommendation: file / publish / trade-secret / drop.

Expected Output

  • 4-axis scorecard
  • 4-way recommendation
  • Evidence notes

Prompt 3: Claim Drafting

Personas: pat

Prompt

Draft 3 claims for the invention:

1. One broad independent method claim.
2. One narrow dependent claim adding a specific embodiment.
3. One apparatus claim covering the implementation.

Use plain USPTO claim format. Keep each claim under 120 words.

Expected Output

  • 3 claims
  • Proper format
  • Word-budget honored

Prompt 4: Place in ai-coe-docs

Personas: pat

Prompt

The patent material lives at docs/patent/ in FCC and mirrors
to ai-coe-docs/docs/patent/fcc/. Produce the directory
structure + file list the invention needs:

- docs/patent/<slug>/abstract.md
- docs/patent/<slug>/claims.md
- docs/patent/<slug>/specification.md
- docs/patent/<slug>/prior-art.md

Show the mirror target paths too.

Expected Output

  • Directory tree
  • Mirror paths
  • File-count tally

Prompt 5: Mirror Audit

Personas: aud

Prompt

Run fcc.validation.patent_mirror.check_mirror() after the new
files are added. Expect: mirror is OUT-OF-DATE. Propose the
sibling-repo PR that brings ai-coe-docs in sync. Write the PR
title and body.

Expected Output

  • Expected drift output
  • Sibling PR title
  • Sibling PR body

Prompt 6: Gate + Sign-Off

Personas: aud, ipe

Prompt

QG-IP-CONS is a required gate in v1.4.4+. Confirm the gate
would pass once the sibling PR merges. Produce the final
sign-off note for the I&A stakeholder review — 120 words,
naming the 4 personas who touched the invention and any
residual risks.

Expected Output

  • Gate pass confirmation
  • 120-word sign-off
  • Residual-risk call-out
