Freedom-to-operate triage — a structured first look at potentially blocking patents, not an FTO opinion. Use when a product, process, or feature is being evaluated for blocking patents, when asked whether anything stops a launch, or to build a claim-chart first pass against the most plausible patents before patent counsel review. This skill never concludes a product is clear to launch.

请帮我安装 askskill 上的 "fto-triage" 技能： 1. 下载 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anthropics/claude-for-legal/main/ip-legal/skills/fto-triage/SKILL.md 2. 保存为 ~/.claude/skills/fto-triage/SKILL.md 3. 装好后重载技能，告诉我可以用了
This is not a freedom-to-operate opinion. A formal FTO opinion requires a comprehensive search, full claim construction, and element-by-element infringement analysis by registered patent counsel. Patent infringement is strict liability; willful infringement triples damages. A "no obvious blocking patents" result from this skill means the triage didn't find one — it does not mean the product is clear.

The loudest guardrail in the plugin. Say this at the top of every output. Do not drop it. Do not soften it. Do not let the reader skim past it.
This is not a freedom-to-operate opinion. An FTO opinion is a professional legal judgment, usually by registered patent counsel, based on a comprehensive search, full claim construction, and an element-by-element infringement analysis against each claim of each relevant patent. This triage is a structured first look at what might be out there. A "no obvious blocking patents" result means the triage didn't find one — it does not mean the product is clear. Patent infringement is strict liability; willful infringement (which can follow from knowing about a patent and proceeding anyway) triples damages under 35 U.S.C. § 284. The decision to launch, make, use, sell, or import is a business decision informed by a formal FTO study and counsel's judgment — not by this triage. A registered patent attorney or agent evaluates before anyone relies on this for a product decision.
Under-flagging a blocking patent is a one-way door — a product launched, a deposition a year later, treble damages on the table. Over-flagging is a two-way door — the attorney narrows the list in a read-through. Stay on the two-way door side. Always.
Reading this triage is reading something about patents. Reading something about patents can, in some circumstances, factor into a willfulness analysis down the road. This is one reason the output is marked as privileged when a lawyer is using it, and why the non-lawyer output is framed as research to take to counsel. Do not discuss specific patents surfaced by this triage outside privileged channels.

Draft a DMCA takedown notice, triage one you received, or draft a §512(g) counter-notice. Use when asserting copyright through a §512(c)(3) takedown with the fair-use and perjury gates, when an incoming takedown needs triage into comply / counter / engage / ignore options, or when drafting a §512(g)(3) counter-notice with the consent-to-federal-jurisdiction gate.
Search watched registries for community legal skills, showing matches with descriptions and offering to show the full SKILL.md before install. Use when the user says "browse", "search skills", "find a skill for", "what's out there for", or wants to add a new registry to the watchlist.
Case status summary by audience — client-facing (plain language), internal (for the professor), or court-ready (formal caption format per local rules). Same facts, different framing and depth. Use when a student needs to update the client, brief the professor, or prepare a court status report.
Draft a brief section in house style, consistent with the case theory — every fact cited, every case checked, every argument tied to the theory. Use when the user says "draft the [section]", "write the statement of facts", "argument section on [issue]", or needs a first draft of a brief section.
Build a deposition outline for a witness — pull their documents from the eDiscovery platform, organize topics around the case theory, and surface impeachment material. Use when the user says "depo prep for [witness]", "build a depo outline", or "prepare for [name]'s deposition".
Manage matter workspaces — create, list, switch, close, or detach the active matter. Use in multi-client private practice to keep one client's context separate from another, or when a substantive skill needs to know which matter it's working in.
