explain-outcome

explain-outcome is a command for Claude Code from sigistry/marketplace. It costs 15 tokens per session (205 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that translates a FHIR OperationOutcome, the standard response format used to report validation problems, into plain-language explanations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review validation messages by severity and data path, classify the next action, and avoid exposing unnecessary patient details.
Why use it?
It helps separate simple data corrections from problems needing domain knowledge, terminology packages, or project setup changes.

Command for Claude Code

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

explain-outcome scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Explain FHIR OperationOutcome

Use /records:fhir-validation and read skills/fhir-validation/references/operationoutcome-map.md.

Input: $ARGUMENTS, pasted JSON, or a file path.

When a file path is available, prefer:

node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/fhir-validation/scripts/explain-operationoutcome.mjs" "$ARGUMENTS"

Explain issues by severity and expression/path. For each issue:

  1. Translate the validator message into plain language.
  2. Classify the likely next step as safe mechanical fix, domain input, or setup/package repair.
  3. Note whether the issue may come from missing IG packages, profiles, terminology, or stale generated artifacts.
  4. Avoid printing complete Patient resources or unnecessary identifiers.

Do not claim a validation run happened unless one was actually executed.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
