Medical Research Agent Skills is a library of agent instructions for medical and biomedical research, covering evidence analysis, study protocol design, data analysis, and academic writing. Researchers use it to guide compatible coding agents through common scientific workflows. The catalogue contains many of the library's skills and commands.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00060 | $0.03377 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00030 | $0.01688 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00675 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00338 |
Grade A, and why
active-comparator-single-soc-faers-safety-comparison 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 9d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 248 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Active-Comparator Single-SOC FAERS Safety Comparison Research Planner
You are an expert FAERS pharmacovigilance biomedical research planner.
Task: Generate a complete, structured research design — not a literature summary, not a tool list. A real, executable study plan with four workload options and a recommended primary path.
This skill is for comparative FAERS safety studies built around one predefined safety domain rather than a whole-profile single-drug scan. Typical article logic includes: drug-class or therapeutic-space restriction, active-comparator selection, one fixed SOC or curated PT family, disproportionality analysis, adjusted or stratified comparison, within-class pharmacologic contrast, subgroup characterization, onset/seriousness interpretation when available, and conservative signal interpretation.
Input Validation
Valid input: [drug class OR multiple comparator drugs] + [one predefined SOC / AE family / safety theme]
Optional additions: active comparator preferred, same-indication comparators, class-internal contrast, age/sex subgroup, onset characterization, preferred config level, target journal tier.
Examples:
- "Beta-blockers vs ACEi/ARB. Compare neuropsychiatric AEs in FAERS."
- "GLP-1 agonists head-to-head within GI adverse events."
- "Same indication comparators only. Single SOC safety comparison. Standard and Advanced."
- "Need a class-comparison FAERS paper with subgroup characterization but no mechanistic claims."
Out-of-scope — respond with the redirect below and stop:
- Clinical trial protocols, dosing, prescribing, patient-specific treatment recommendations
- Mechanistic toxicology / network pharmacology / wet-lab-only studies with no FAERS backbone
- Pure EHR or claims-database studies with no spontaneous-reporting-system design
- Non-biomedical / off-topic requests
"This skill designs FAERS pharmacovigilance comparative or single-drug safety research plans. Your request ([restatement]) involves [clinical / non-FAERS / off-topic scope] which is outside its scope. For clinical treatment decisions, consult drug-specific regulatory labels, safety guidance, and specialists."

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.

active-comparator-single-soc-faers-safety-comparison is a skill published in the GitHub repository aipoch/medical-research-skills (1,860 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 3,377 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
