figure-description

name figure-description description Process user-provided patent figures and generate formal drawing descriptions. Use when user says "附图处理", "figure description", "附图说明", "drawings description", or wants to describe patent figures with reference numerals. argument-hint [figure-directory-or-figure-list] allowed-tools Bash(*), Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, WebSearch, WebFetch Figure Description for Patents Process patent figures and generate drawing descriptions based on: $ARGUMENTS Unlike /paper-figure which generates data plots, this skill processes user-provided technical diagrams and assigns reference numerals. Constants FIGURE_DIR = "patent/figures/" — Output directory for figure descriptions REFERENCE_NUMERAL_PREFIX = 100 — Starting numeral for first figure's components NUMERAL_SERIES = 100 — Each figure uses a separate 100-series (Fig 1: 100-199, Fig 2: 200-299, etc.) Inputs User-provided figures (PNG, JPG, SVG, PDF) — search for them in the project directory patent/INVENTION_DISCLOSURE.md — for understanding what components to identify patent/CLAIMS.md — for mapping numerals to claim elements Workflow Step 1: Discover Figures Search the project directory for figure files: Check patent/figures/ , figures/ , root directory Look for PNG, JPG, SVG, PDF files Check INVENTION_BRIEF.md or INVENTION_DISCLOSURE.md for figure references List all discovered figures with their paths If figures are missing that claims require, note them as [MISSING: description needed] Step 2: Analyze Each Figure For each figure found: Read the image using the Read tool (supports image files) Identify components : What labeled or visually distinct components are shown? Identify connections : How do components relate to each other? Identify flow : If it's a flowchart or sequence, what is the step order? Step 3: Assign Reference Numerals For each figure, assign numerals using the series convention: Figure Numeral Range FIG. 1 100-199 FIG. 2 200-299 FIG. 3 300-399 For each identified component: Assign the next available numeral in the series Cross-reference to the claim elements it supports Note if a component appears in multiple figures (use same numeral across figures) Step 4: Generate Drawing Descriptions Write formal drawing descriptions (附图说明): For CN jurisdiction (Chinese) : 图1是[发明名称]的系统结构示意图； 图2是[发明名称]的方法流程图； 图3是[具体组件]的详细结构示意图； For US/EP jurisdiction (English) : FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating the system architecture according to one embodiment; FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating the method steps according to one embodiment; FIG. 3 is a detailed view of the processing module of FIG. 1; Step 5: Generate Reference Numeral Index Create a complete mapping: ## Reference Numeral Index | Numeral | Component Name | Figure(s) | Claim Element | |---------|---------------|-----------|---------------| | 100 | System | FIG. 1 | Claim X preamble | | 102 | Processor | FIG. 1 | Claim X, element 1 | | 104 | Memory | FIG. 1 | Claim X, element 2 | | 106 | Communication bus | FIG. 1 | Claim X, element 3 | | 200 | Method | FIG. 2 | Claim 1 preamble | | 202 | Receiving step | FIG. 2 | Claim 1, step 1 | | 204 | Processing step | FIG. 2 | Claim 1, step 2 | Step 6: Cross-Reference to Claims Verify that every claim element has at least one reference numeral: Claim Element Figure Numeral Status [element] [which fig] [numeral] Covered / [MISSING] If any claim element has no corresponding figure or numeral, flag it: [MISSING FIGURE: Need a diagram showing {element description}] [MISSING NUMERAL: Component {name} in figure {X} needs a numeral] Step 7: Output Write patent/figures/figure_descriptions.md : ## Figure Descriptions ### FIG. 1 — [Description] [Formal one-paragraph description with all reference numerals] ### FIG. 2 — [Description] [Formal one-paragraph description with all reference numerals] ... Write patent/figures/numeral_index.md : ## Reference Numeral Index [Complete table of all numerals, components, figures, and claim mappings] Key Rules Every component in every figure must have a reference numeral. Every reference numeral must be explained in the specification. Numeral series must be consistent: 100-series for FIG. 1, 200-series for FIG. 2. If the same component appears in multiple figures, use the SAME numeral. Do NOT modify user-provided figures -- only describe them. Flag missing figures that the claims require but the user has not provided. Drawing descriptions are one sentence each, in a consistent format.
