What is patent-disclosure-skill?

This is a skill (a plug-in set of instructions) for AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and similar assistants. Its purpose is to help inventors write patent disclosure documents, which are the detailed technical write-ups that patent attorneys and agents need before they can file a patent application. The skill guides the user through this process using a multi-round conversation rather than asking them to fill out a form. When you activate it, the skill starts by asking a few questions to understand who you are (inventor or patent agent), what you have (a rough verbal description, an existing document, or a code repository), and which technical domain your invention belongs to. From there it asks one focused question at a time to extract the necessary information. The whole conversation typically takes between five and twenty rounds depending on how much material you already have ready. Once it has gathered enough detail, the skill generates a complete patent disclosure document structured the way the China National Intellectual Property Administration expects: technical field, background, description of the invention, technical problem, technical solution, beneficial effects, description of figures, and specific implementation methods. It writes in formal patent language rather than casual AI-generated phrasing, filtering out generic filler phrases automatically. The skill also produces supporting diagrams in SVG format, following the strict rules that patent offices apply to figures: pure black-and-white lines, three-digit reference numbers, no overlapping lead lines. Supported diagram types include system architecture diagrams, flowcharts, and data-flow diagrams. Once the document and diagrams are ready, you can export the whole package to a properly formatted Word file with a single command. The project includes reference files for three technical domains (computer software, electronics and communications, and mechanical manufacturing), each containing a terminology guide and standard sentence patterns used in that field. You can add new domains by creating additional reference files in the same format. The repository is written in Python and is licensed under MIT.
