What problem does it solve?
It solves the problem of converting user-provided patent figures into legally suitable, reference-numeral-based drawing descriptions without manual drafting.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Figure discovery: Finds figure files (PNG/JPG/SVG/PDF) across common project locations and reports missing diagrams needed by the claims.
- Component numeral assignment: Assigns consistent FIG-specific reference numeral series (100–199 for FIG.1, 200–299 for FIG.2, etc.) and keeps the same component stable across figures.
- Claims cross-referencing: Maps numerals to elements in
patent/CLAIMS.md and flags uncovered claim elements or missing figures.
- Patent-ready outputs: Produces
patent/figures/figure_descriptions.md and patent/figures/numeral_index.md with formal one-sentence drawing descriptions and a complete numeral index.
- Use case: When you have a set of patent diagrams and want consistent “附图说明/FIG. X” text that matches your claims, this skill generates both the narrative descriptions and the numeral-to-claim mapping.
Quick Start
Use the figure-description skill to process your folder of patent figures and generate the outputs patent/figures/figure_descriptions.md and patent/figures/numeral_index.md.
