What problem does it solve?
Patent drafting requires precise, formal descriptions of technical figures paired with consistent reference numerals, a process that is tedious, error-prone, and time-consuming when performed manually for multi-figure patent applications.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Automated Figure Discovery: Scans project directories for patent figures (PNG, JPG, SVG, PDF) and identifies missing figures required by patent claims.
- Consistent Reference Numeral Assignment: Automatically assigns per-figure 100-series numerals, cross-references components to claim elements, and maintains numeral consistency across all figures.
- Jurisdiction-Aware Output: Generates compliant drawing descriptions for both Chinese (附图说明) and US/EP (FIG. descriptions) patent jurisdictions.
- Use Case: A patent attorney drafting a medical device patent can use this skill to process system architecture and method flowchart figures, assign numerals to all components, and generate compliant drawing descriptions aligned with claim language.
Quick Start
Use the figure-description skill to process all patent figures in your project directory and generate formal drawing descriptions with reference numerals mapped to your invention disclosure and claims.
