SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Drafting formal patent drawing descriptions and assigning consistent reference numerals across figures and claims is tedious and error-prone, especially when coordinating CN, US, and EP jurisdiction formats. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Figure Discovery and Analysis: Automatically locates PNG, JPG, SVG, and PDF figures in the project and identifies components, connections, and flow order in each diagram. - Reference Numeral Assignment: Assigns numerals using a consistent 100-series convention per figure (FIG. 1 uses 100-199, FIG. 2 uses 200-299) and reuses numerals for components appearing in multiple figures. - Claim Cross-Referencing: Maps every numeral to claim elements and flags missing figures or numerals that claims require. - Use Case: Given an invention disclosure, a claims file, and three technical diagrams, produce formal drawing descriptions in Chinese or English plus a complete numeral index table ready for a patent application. ## Quick Start Use the figure-description skill to process the figures in my patent folder and generate drawing descriptions with a reference numeral index mapped to my claims.

Frequently Asked Questions about figure-description

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate patent figure descriptions with reference numerals?

Place your figures (PNG, JPG, SVG, or PDF) in the project directory along with an invention disclosure and claims file. The skill discovers the figures, identifies components, assigns numerals in 100-series per figure, and writes drawing descriptions plus a numeral index.

What reference numeral convention do patent drawings use?

This skill assigns each figure its own 100-series: FIG. 1 uses numerals 100-199, FIG. 2 uses 200-299, and so on. Components appearing in multiple figures keep the same numeral across all figures for consistency.

Does it support both Chinese and English patent drawing descriptions?

Yes, it generates formal drawing descriptions in both formats: Chinese (附图说明) for CN jurisdiction and English for US and EP jurisdictions, using the standard one-sentence-per-figure style required by patent offices.

What image formats can be processed for patent figures?

The skill accepts PNG, JPG, SVG, and PDF figure files. It searches common locations like patent/figures/, figures/, and the project root, and also checks invention disclosure documents for figure references.

What happens if a claim element has no corresponding figure?

The skill flags gaps during claim cross-referencing, marking them as [MISSING FIGURE] or [MISSING NUMERAL] with a description of what is needed. It never modifies your original figures; it only describes them.
