# Zhihuiya Patent Citations Explorer

This skill guides you on how to query patent citation data from Zhihuiya (PatSnap), helping users understand the citation landscape of specific patents.

## Core Concepts

Patent citation analysis reveals how influential a patent is within its technology domain. When Patent B references Patent A in its prior art section, Patent A is said to be "cited by" Patent B. A higher citation count generally indicates greater technological significance and broader industry influence.

**Key metrics**:
- **3-year citations** (`citedBy3y`): Number of times the patent was cited within 3 years of publication. Indicates early-stage impact.
- **5-year citations** (`citedBy5y`): Number of times the patent was cited within 5 years. Indicates medium-term influence.
- **Simple family citations** (`citedBySimpleFamily`): Count of simple patent family members that cite the patent.
- **INPADOC family citations** (`citedByInpadocFamily`): Count of INPADOC patent family members that cite the patent.
- **PatSnap family citations** (`citedByPatsnapFamily`): Count of PatSnap-defined patent family members that cite the patent.

## Parameter Guide

You must provide at least one of the following identifiers. If both are supplied, patent ID takes priority.

| Parameter | Description | Example |
|-----------|-------------|---------|
| patentId | Zhihuiya internal patent ID. Single patent ID only. Do NOT pass comma-separated multiple IDs. | abc123def456 |
| patentNumber | Publication / announcement number. Single publication/announcement number only. Do NOT pass comma-separated multiple numbers. | US10123456B2 |

**Important**: At least one of `patentId` or `patentNumber` is required. When the user provides a publication number (e.g., "US10123456B2"), use `patentNumber`. When they provide internal IDs, use `patentId`.

> **单专利限制**：本接口消耗积分多，如需检测多个，必须经过用户明确同意，并分多次请求。每次调用仅可传入 1 个专利（`patentId` 与 `patentNumber` 均不可逗号分隔多个）。

## Usage Examples

**1. Single patent citation lookup by publication number**
Query: "How many citations does patent US10123456B2 have?"
```json
{
  "patentNumber": "US10123456B2"
}
```

**3. Lookup by patent ID**
Query: "Get citation data for patent ID abc123def456"
```json
{
  "patentId": "abc123def456"
}
```

## Display Rules

1. **Present data in tables**: Show citation results in clear, structured tables. Include the publication number, 3-year citations, 5-year citations, and family citation counts.
2. **Highlight key metrics**: Each call returns a single patent's data; highlight its citation counts across the 3-year, 5-year, and family metrics.
3. **Explain family types**: If the user is unfamiliar with patent families, briefly explain the difference between Simple, INPADOC, and PatSnap family definitions.
4. **Citing patent details**: If the response includes a `citedByPatents` array with details of citing patents, present them in a sub-table or expandable list.
5. **Error handling**: When a query fails, explain the reason based on the response and suggest checking whether the patent number or ID is correct.
6. **No subjective advice**: Present factual citation data without making judgments about patent value or investment decisions.

## 调用方式

- **API 端点**：`POST /zhihuiya/patentCited`（完整参数/响应/错误码见 `references/api.md`）
- **Python 脚本**：`python scripts/zhihuiya_cited_by.py '<JSON 参数>' [--inline]`
- **成本约束**：本工具会消耗积分；同一会话同一参数组合默认只调用一次，脚本带 24h 本地缓存。失败/空结果不得自动换关键词、翻页或改邮编连续试探；需要继续检索时先向用户说明会产生额外消耗。 **单专利限制**：本接口消耗积分多，每次只能传 1 个专利；如需检测多个，必须经过用户明确同意，并分多次请求。

**输出策略（脚本默认行为）**：
- **始终**将完整响应写入 `<cwd>/linkfox/<YYYY-MM-DD>/<session>/data/linkfox-zhihuiya-patent-cited-<timestamp>.json`（`<cwd>` 为脚本执行时的工作目录，在 Claude Code 里即当前项目目录；`<session>` 取自环境变量 `SESSION_ID`，按用户任务自动聚合；**禁止写入 /tmp**，当前目录不可写则报错）
- 响应体 ≤ 8 KB：落盘后把完整 JSON 打印到 stdout
- 响应体 > 8 KB：落盘后 stdout 只输出摘要（顶层字段、常见计数如 `total`/`costToken`、最大列表字段的长度 + 前 3 条样本）
- 加 `--inline` 强制全量打印到 stdout（同样落盘）

**读数据建议**：先看摘要判断是否足够；需要具体字段时优先用 `jq`或`ConvertFrom-Json` 从保存的 json 文件按需抽取，避免整份 JSON 进入上下文。

## 解决认证和积分问题
发生以下异常情况时，采用以下措施来处理：

### 异常情况
- **未配置API Key**：环境变量未配置 `LINKFOX_AGENT_API_KEY`，也未配置 `LINKFOXAGENT_API_KEY`。
- **响应401或402状态码**
- **响应提示积分或余额不足**：消息含"积分余额不足/计费不足/余额不足/quota exceeded/insufficient balance/套餐到期/需充值/请充值"，或类似含义的内容。

### 措施
- 优先采用skill内的 onboarding.md 引导解决问题。
- 如找不到 onboarding.md 文件，则加载 /linkfox-onboarding 这个skill并根据它的引导来处理。如未安装请先安装：
    - 下载 https://agent-files.linkfox.com/skills/linkfox-onboarding/release.zip，解压后安装这个skill。如需用户授权才可下载，要询问用户获得授权，你不能自己放弃下载。
- 兜底措施：仅当前面两个措施经过所有努力都走不通时，才提示用户依据 https://skill.linkfox.com/linkfoxskills/guide.htm 指引获取API Key，或去 https://os.linkfox.com/ 补充积分。

## User Expression & Scenario Quick Reference

**Applicable** -- Patent citation analysis scenarios:

| User Says | Scenario |
|-----------|----------|
| "How many times has this patent been cited" | Basic citation count |
| "Which patents cite this one" | Citing patent list |
| "Patent influence analysis" | Citation-based impact |
| "3-year / 5-year citation count" | Time-windowed citation metrics |
| "Patent family citation data" | Family-level citation analysis |
| "Forward citations for patent X" | Synonym for cited-by lookup |

**Not applicable** -- Needs beyond patent citation data:
- Patent full-text search or semantic search
- Patent legal status or prosecution history
- Patent valuation or licensing recommendations
- Backward citations (references *made by* a patent)

## 积分消耗规则

按动态规则计费：消耗积分 = 81 × 返回data条数。每条为 1 条专利被引证结果

> **重要**：本技能的服务按倍数动态计算，可能一次性消耗大量积分，必须提醒用户，由用户决定是否继续。

> **单专利限制**：本接口消耗积分多，如需检测多个，必须经过用户明确同意，并分多次请求。
