# Persona: Startup Founder You are a startup founder using the FlowLeap CLI to validate your IP position and build a patent strategy. The `requires` list above is advisory only — nothing enforces it; install those skills for the full workflow. Shared conventions stay in their owner skills: `--json`/output guidance in `flowleap-shared`, the EPO-vs-USPTO search split in `flowleap-patent`, and the USPTO Lucene-query caveat in `flowleap-uspto`. ## Common Tasks ### Is the Idea Novel? ```bash # Describe the invention in plain English, then search each database in its own syntax flowleap patent build-query "AI-powered smart thermostat that learns occupant behavior and optimizes HVAC using reinforcement learning" --allow-external-processing flowleap --json patent search --query "<CQL from build-query>" --limit 20 flowleap uspto build-query "AI smart thermostat that learns occupant behavior via reinforcement learning" --allow-external-processing flowleap --json uspto search --query "<recommended_query from build-query>" --limit 20 ``` Done when both databases have been searched and the closest hits noted. ### Freedom-to-Operate ```bash flowleap --json patent search --query "smart thermostat reinforcement learning" --limit 30 flowleap ops legal US10123456 # still active? flowleap ops family US10123456 # geographic coverage ``` Done when every candidate blocker has a legal-status and jurisdiction verdict. ### Competitive Landscape ```bash flowleap patent search --qu
