Get a multi-round patent examiner review of the patent application based on: **$ARGUMENTS**

Adapted from `/research-review`. The reviewer persona is a patent examiner, not a paper reviewer.

## Constants

- `REVIEWER_MODEL = gpt-5.5` — Model used via Codex MCP
- `REVIEW_ROUNDS = 2` — Number of review rounds

## Prerequisites

- Codex MCP Server configured:
  ```bash
  claude mcp add codex -s user -- codex mcp-server
  ```

## Inputs

1. `patent/CLAIMS.md` — all drafted claims
2. `patent/specification/` — all specification sections
3. `patent/figures/numeral_index.md` — reference numeral mapping
4. `patent/PRIOR_ART_REPORT.md` — known prior art
5. `patent/INVENTION_DISCLOSURE.md` — invention structure

## Workflow

### Step 1: Gather Patent Context

Before calling the external reviewer, compile a comprehensive briefing:
1. Read all claims (independent + dependent)
2. Read specification sections (at least summary and detailed description)
3. Read prior art report for context
4. Identify: core inventive concept, claim scope, known prior art, target jurisdiction

### Step 2: Round 1 — Full Examiner Review

Send to `REVIEWER_MODEL` via `mcp__codex__codex` with xhigh reasoning:
