Write detailed embodiment descriptions for patent specifications.

  • Works in 6 steps: Plan Embodiments → Write Each Embodiment → Reference Numeral Integration → …
  • User says 撰写实施例
  • SKILL.md covers Constants, Inputs, Workflow and Key Rules
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Embodiment Description is an agent skill from AI4Scientist/nano-scientist. Write detailed embodiment descriptions for patent specifications. Use when user says "撰写实施例", "write embodiment", "实施例描述", "detailed description", or wants to describe how to practice an invention.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Legal & Compliance, covering Intellectual property. The repository describes itself as: An autonomous research agent that turns a topic into a peer-reviewed technical report.

When your agent uses it

  • User says 撰写实施例
  • Write embodiment
  • Detailed description
  • Wants to describe how to practice an invention

Example prompts

  • “write embodiment”
  • “detailed description”
  • “/embodiment-description”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(*), Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Plan Embodiments
  2. Write Each Embodiment
  3. Reference Numeral Integration
  4. Claim Support Verification
  5. Software/Algorithm Embodiments (if applicable)
  6. Output

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7132192. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash(*)
    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Grep
    • Glob

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Embodiment Description loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 715 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash(*), Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 715 words (~1,635 tokens).
