SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill processes user-provided patent figures and generates formal drawing descriptions with reference numerals to simplify patent drafting.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Figure discovery: scans for user-provided patent figures across directories and aggregates them for processing.
  • Figure analysis & numeral assignment: identifies components, relationships, and assigns consistent reference numerals per figure (FIG. 1: 100-199, FIG. 2: 200-299, etc.), ensuring cross-figure consistency.
  • Output generation: produces CN/US-style drawing descriptions (附图说明) and a complete Reference Numeral Index cross-referenced to claims, while preserving the original figures.
  • Cross-language support: generates descriptions suitable for multiple patent jurisdictions (CN/US/EP) and formats.

Quick Start

Place patent figure files under patent/figures and run the figure-description workflow to generate formal drawing descriptions with reference numerals.

Frequently Asked Questions about figure-description

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate formal patent drawing descriptions from technical figures?

The skill assigns reference numerals to patent figures using consistent ranges per figure, such as 100-199 for FIG. 1 and 200-299 for FIG. 2, ensuring cross-figure component consistency.

Can I cross-reference patent drawing components directly to claims?

Yes, the workflow generates a Reference Numeral Index that cross-references assigned components in the patent figures directly to your patent claims for comprehensive drafting support.

Does the figure description workflow support multiple patent jurisdictions?

The workflow supports cross-language patent drafting by generating formal drawing descriptions suitable for multiple patent jurisdictions including CN, US, and EP formats.

What is the best way to organize patent figures for automated diagram analysis?

The best way to organize patent figures is placing them under the patent/figures directory, which allows the workflow to discover, aggregate, and process each figure while preserving your original files.

Are original patent figures modified during the diagram analysis process?

Original patent figures are preserved without modification during processing, as the workflow only analyzes them to identify components and relationships before outputting separate description files.
