## Overview

Draft a US provisional patent application package: §112(a)-focused specification, optional claim seeds, drawings checklist, USPTO ADS and cover sheet worksheets, entity-status analysis, priority memo, and conversion roadmap.

Use it when an inventor, founder, university TTO, or in-house team needs a structured first draft before a public disclosure, investor pitch, product launch, or nonprovisional/PCT decision. The workflow keeps the focus on §112(a) support, priority-risk calendaring, and practitioner review rather than treating a provisional as a simple template filing.

## Example Conversation

> **You:** We have a robotic fruit-picking sensor calibration algorithm and need to show it to seed investors next Friday. Can you draft a US provisional package and the USPTO worksheets?
>
> **Agent:** Yes. I’ll first collect inventor, ownership, public-disclosure, figure, embodiment, and entity-status details. Then I’ll draft the specification, optional claim seeds, drawings checklist, ADS worksheet, cover-sheet worksheet, entity-status analysis, priority memo, and conversion roadmap.
>
> **You:** The demo is private but the deck may be forwarded. We have two founders and one contractor who helped build the prototype.
>
> **Agent:** I’ll flag the investor-deck timing and contractor ownership as review items. Before filing, have a registered US patent attorney or patent agent confirm assignment, current USPTO forms/fees, and whether any disclosure creates US or foreign priority risk.

> Draft for review by a registered US patent practitioner. Not legal advice. Filing requirements and fees must be confirmed in USPTO Patent Center before submission.

## Title of the Invention

Adaptive Sensor Calibration for Robotic Harvesting Systems

## Brief Summary

In some embodiments, a robotic harvesting system calibrates a multispectral sensor array by comparing live fruit-surface measurements with a dynamically updated crop-environment model. The system adjusts exposure, thresholding, and grip-path selection before fruit contact, improving detection reliability across changing light and canopy conditions.

## §112(a) Self-Check

| Feature / claim seed             | Written-description support        | Enablement support                                            | Gap?                            |
| -------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------- |
| Dynamic crop-environment model   | Detailed Description §§3.1–3.4     | Sensor inputs, update interval, and fallback values disclosed | Add prototype data if available |
| Pre-contact grip-path adjustment | FIG. 3 and Detailed Description §4 | Flow steps and actuator constraints described                 | No material gap identified      |

## Extension Tools

**`validate_provisional_patent_package`** checks the generated package directory for the eight required markdown artifacts, statutory and USPTO form citations, attorney-review disclaimers, §112(a) support indicators, abstract length, deadline content, entity-status content, and figure consistency between the specification and drawings checklist.

Use it after drafting and before presenting the package as filing-ready. The validation result is advisory; a registered US patent attorney or patent agent still needs to review the package before filing.

## Getting Started

Prepare an invention disclosure with inventor names, ownership/assignment context, public disclosure dates, drawings or sketches, prototype data, preferred and alternative embodiments, and any related filings. Then ask the skill to draft the provisional package and identify the missing facts needed before filing.

If contractors, employees, university researchers, sponsors, or joint-development partners contributed to the invention, gather the relevant agreements and run an ownership/assignment check before filing.
