# portfolio

Keeps a register of trademarks, patents and domains: what renews, which fees are due, where the gaps are. Handy when you need to check dates or log a filing.

## What it does

The skill stores your register at `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ip-legal/portfolio.yaml` and runs in five modes. With no arguments it lists deadlines in the next 90 days grouped by urgency. `--report --days N` changes the window, `--add` walks through a new asset, `--update` records a filing or fee payment, `--audit` hunts for register gaps.

Jurisdiction rules are built in: §8 Declaration of Use for US marks between the 5th and 6th anniversary, US patent maintenance fees at 3.5, 7.5 and 11.5 years, Madrid and EUIPO renewals. For anything else you capture the mechanic in a `custom_rules` block, and the report flags those assets as `agent_managed` instead of computing a date.

The catch: computed deadlines are reference only. Every output ends with a line telling you to verify against USPTO TSDR, WIPO or the relevant registry before filing or paying. A docketed-but-wrong deadline is worse than none, because it breeds false confidence. Connect an IP management system over MCP (Anaqua, Clarivate IPfolio, AppColl, Alt Legal) and its docket becomes authoritative — the skill just organizes what it returns. Otherwise you paste the docket or upload a spreadsheet yourself.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add anthropics/claude-for-legal --skill portfolio -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/portfolio/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/portfolio/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add anthropics/claude-for-legal --skill portfolio -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/portfolio/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add anthropics/claude-for-legal --skill portfolio -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/portfolio/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**

npx skills add anthropics/claude-for-legal --skill portfolio -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/anthropics/claude-for-legal --path ip-legal/skills/portfolio
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/portfolio/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add anthropics/claude-for-legal --skill portfolio -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-for-legal/tree/HEAD/ip-legal/skills/portfolio/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- see what renews in the next 90 days
- log a paid patent maintenance fee
- audit the register for gaps and owner mismatches
- add a new asset with dates and jurisdiction
- catch marks approaching a §8 Declaration

## Example prompts
- /ip-legal:portfolio --report --days 180
- /ip-legal:portfolio --add
- /ip-legal:portfolio --audit

# /portfolio

Surfaces what's renewing, adds assets, records filings, and audits the register.

## Instructions

1. **Follow the workflow below** and read
   `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ip-legal/portfolio.yaml`.

2. **Default (no args):** equivalent to `--report` — show deadlines in the
   next 90 days grouped by urgency (🔴 lapsed/grace, ⏰ due within window,
   🟡 upcoming, 🌐 agent-managed, ❓ unknown).

3. **`--report [--days N]`:** Mode 2. Change the window with `--days`
   (30 / 60 / 90 / 180 typical). Always prepend the work-product header
   per CLAUDE.md → Outputs. Always close with the verification caveat.

4. **`--add`:** Mode 3. Walk through a new asset interactively — type,
   jurisdiction, number, dates, owner, business owner. Capture a custom
   rule if the jurisdiction isn't built in.

5. **`--update`:** Mode 4. Record that a maintenance filing or fee payment
   was made, sync with the IP management system, or change an asset's
   status. Enforce the consequential-action gate before setting any
   deadline to `filed`.

6. **`--audit`:** Mode 5. Broader health check — deadline hygiene,
   registration gaps, use-in-commerce questions on §8-approaching marks,
   owner inconsistencies, expiration horizon, unwatched marks.

7. **If the register is empty and an IP management system is connected:**
   Offer Mode 1 — pull the portfolio from the system of record and
   initialise the register.

8. **Guardrail reminder:** Computed deadlines are reference only. Every
   output closes with a line directing verification against the USPTO
   TSDR, WIPO, or relevant registry before filing or paying. A
   docketed-but-wrong deadline creates false confidence; do not let the
   user treat this as the system of record unless the IP management
   system is sync-integrated.

## Examples

```
/ip-legal:portfolio
```

```
/ip-legal:portfolio --report --days 180
```

```
/ip-legal:portfolio --add
```

```
/ip-legal:portfolio --update
```

```
/ip-legal:portfolio --audit
```

## Works better connected

This skill tracks deadlines from what you tell it. It works much better
connected to:

- **An IP management system (IPMS) via MCP** — Anaqua, Clarivate IPfolio,
