## Documentation & README

# Lightbringer Plugin for Claude

Work with [Lightbringer's patent service](https://lightbringer.com) from your AI assistant. Lightbringer has qualified patent attorneys on its team providing advice, strategy assessment, novelty searches, FTO, drafting, filing and prosecution through professional engagements.

Automated feedback and professional service requests have separate lifecycles. `start_innovation_feedback` returns one `task_id`; `get_task_status(task_id)` returns the same status/progress/results contract. Poll while `queued` or `running`; stop at `succeeded`, `partially_succeeded` or `failed`, preserving successful findings and explaining per-analysis errors. `request_patent_preparation` returns an innovation ID/link and `outcome: requested | already_requested`, with no task ID. It does not confirm completed preparation or filing. There is currently no MCP endpoint for tracking professional-service milestones.

Tasks and findings expire 30 days after creation; reading does not consume them or extend retention. Use `list_tasks`, optionally filtered by `invention_id`, to recover a lost task ID in the connected organisation. Follow `next_cursor` even if access filtering returns an empty page; listing reports recorded status without polling. `delete_task` permanently removes the user’s task and findings when requested, in any execution state, with write consent. Deletion does not cancel the analysis, delete the innovation or withdraw a service request.

## Included

Version 1.1.1 supports the Lightbringer MCP innovation workflows. Public discovery verified the tool catalog and prompts on 2026-09-15; this does not establish authenticated workflow or host installation testing. Update existing installations to use the renamed tools and these three workflow skills. See the [changelog](https://github.com/lightbringer-patents/claude-plugin/blob/HEAD/CHANGELOG.md) for package updates. Host-directory publication is separate from the repository release; see [distribution and validation](https://github.com/lightbringer-patents/agent-plugin/blob/main/DISTRIBUTION.md).

- **MCP connector:** `https://mcp.lightbringer.com/mcp`, with OAuth and organisation-scoped access.
- **innovation-capture:** identify, register and enrich innovations from a conversation, inventor interview or authorised source exploration.
- **patent-preparation:** request preparation of a selected innovation for patent filing and report the confirmed status and next steps. Refinement is optional; an explicit request does not require an automated feedback or revision cycle.
- **patent-review:** read and respond to Lightbringer report and patent-draft reviews, including comments, discussion and formal responses.

Registration completes when `register_innovation` saves an innovation description. The separate `request_patent_preparation` action requests patent preparation only when the user explicitly wants Lightbringer to patent that innovation. Ordinary capture never submits automatically. Registration uses the server's structured template and validates before saving in the same request. Validation errors leave nothing registered; successful saves return the ID/link and non-blocking warnings. Blocked saves are reported as pending registration. Agents cannot make payments.

## Install

You need a Lightbringer account with access to the organisation you want to connect.

### Claude web, Desktop Chat and Cowork

Plugins are available on Claude Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans. To install from this repository:

1. Open **Customize → Plugins**. In Cowork, open the Cowork tab first.
2. Under **Personal plugins**, select **+ → Add marketplace → Add from a repository**.
3. Enter `https://github.com/lightbringer-patents/claude-plugin` and add the marketplace.
4. Select **Lightbringer** and install it, then complete the connection steps below.

You can also upload a complete Claude plugin package through the custom-plugin upload option. Team and Enterprise owners can distribute the plugin through an organisation marketplace. Availability depends on organisation policy. See Anthropic's [plugin installation guide](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/13837440-use-plugins-in-claude).

### Claude Code

```text
/plugin marketplace add lightbringer-patents/claude-plugin
/plugin install lightbringer@lightbringer
```

If the installation summary asks you to activate changes, run `/reload-plugins`. Use `/mcp` to inspect the Lightbringer connection and start authentication if needed.

### Connect to Lightbringer

The connector uses OAuth 2.1 (Authorization Code + PKCE, S256) with Dynamic Client Registration. The server advertises its authorization server via RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata (`/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource`); on first use, clients prompt you to sign in to Lightbringer. Supported scopes are `mcp:read` and `mcp:write`.

Complete OAuth when prompted and select the organisation to connect. Existing record permissions apply. Confirm that the Lightbringer connector and all three skills appear in the host where you installed the plugin.

This repository is Lightbringer's own marketplace. Inclusion in Anthropic's reviewed community catalog is a separate submission; inclusion in its curated official marketplace is Anthropic's decision. Claude Code installation does not itself establish availability in every Claude chat or managed workspace. Verify the three skills and connector in each target host.

## Usage

Ask naturally, or select an installed skill from the `/` or **+** menu in Claude chat and Cowork. In Claude Code, use the namespaced commands below:

| Workflow | Claude Code command | Example request |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Capture innovations | `/lightbringer:innovation-capture` | “Help me identify and register innovations in the work we’ve been discussing.” |
| Request patent preparation | `/lightbringer:patent-preparation` | “I want Lightbringer to prepare this innovation for patent filing.” |
| Respond to reviews | `/lightbringer:patent-review` | “Show the reviews awaiting my response and help me act on them.” |

## Source and release

The `skills/` tree is a verbatim mirror of [agent-plugin](https://github.com/lightbringer-patents/agent-plugin). Make shared changes there first, then copy the entire tree here. Keep `.claude-plugin/` and `.mcp.json` metadata separate. See [the distribution guide](https://github.com/lightbringer-patents/agent-plugin/blob/main/DISTRIBUTION.md).

Before release, validate both manifests and the skills explicitly:

```sh
claude plugin validate .claude-plugin/plugin.json --strict
claude plugin validate .claude-plugin/marketplace.json --strict
claude plugin validate skills --strict
```

Then run `claude --plugin-dir .` and exercise the three skills and OAuth connection. Verify installation and the workflows in each target Claude app before claiming compatibility; structural validation alone does not test authenticated behaviour.

For each package release, bump `version` in `.claude-plugin/plugin.json` and add an entry to [CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/lightbringer-patents/claude-plugin/blob/HEAD/CHANGELOG.md). Claude Code uses this explicit version to detect updates; a new commit with the same version does not update existing installations. See [Anthropic's version management reference](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins-reference#version-management). Claude package versions can advance independently for packaging changes while the shared skills remain identical to `agent-plugin`.
