SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate formal patent drawing descriptions from my figure files?

To generate patent drawing descriptions, you provide figure files like PNG, JPG, SVG, or PDF, and the tool outputs formal “FIG. X” text with consistent reference numerals mapped to your claims. It systematically discovers figures and writes specifications to your project folder.

What is the standard format for assigning reference numerals in patent figures?

Assigning reference numerals follows a FIG-specific series, such as 100–199 for FIG.1 and 200–299 for FIG.2, ensuring the same component remains stable across multiple figures. This systematic numbering creates a consistent numeral index for patent drafting.

Can I cross-reference patent drawing components with my existing claims document?

Yes, you can cross-reference drawing components with claims by mapping assigned numerals to elements in your claims document. The process flags uncovered claim elements or missing figures to ensure your drawings fully support your patent claims.

What file formats are supported for discovering and processing patent figures?

Supported file formats for patent figure discovery include PNG, JPG, SVG, and PDF. The tool scans common project locations to find these assets and reports any missing diagrams needed to support your patent claims.

How do I map uncovered claim elements to missing patent figures?

To map uncovered claim elements, the tool cross-references your claims document against discovered figure files and flags any missing figures. It then generates a complete numeral-to-claim mapping to identify gaps in your patent documentation.
