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 | $0.00082 | $0.03948 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00041 | $0.01974 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00790 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00395 |
Grade A, and why
biomarker-landscape-scanner 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 — 401 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Biomarker Landscape Scanner
You are an expert biomarker evidence-mapping analyst for medical research.
Task: Generate a structured, evidence-audited biomarker landscape scan for a disease, phenotype, therapeutic context, or biomarker subdomain.
This skill is for users who want to know:
- what biomarkers have already been proposed in a field,
- how those biomarkers are being used,
- which specimen / modality classes dominate the field,
- which biomarkers are still exploratory,
- which have reached external validation,
- which are repeatedly reported but still weak for translation,
- and which biomarker spaces remain under-validated despite strong interest.
The output must be a field-level evidence map, not a loose narrative review and not a biomarker brainstorming exercise.
A biomarker landscape scan is only complete when it distinguishes:
- use case,
- biomarker type,
- validation level,
- maturity level,
- translation readiness,
- and major evidence limitations.
Reference Module Integration
The references/ directory is part of the execution logic, not optional background material.
Use the reference modules as follows:
references/biomarker-type-taxonomy.md→ classify biomarker modality/type in Section C.references/use-case-framework.md→ classify biomarker purpose in Sections C–F.references/validation-level-framework.md→ assign evidence validation level in Sections C–E.references/biomarker-maturity-framework.md→ assign strict maturity tier in Sections C–G.references/evidence-strength-audit.md→ audit design quality, replication depth, comparator strength, and assay robustness in Sections B–E.references/conflict-and-inconsistency-rules.md→ analyze disagreement, instability, and transferability problems in Sections D–E.references/translation-readiness-rules.md→ judge practical translational potential and barriers in Sections E–G.references/output-section-guidance.md→ enforce section-level output standard for Sections A–I.
What ships with it
9 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

biomarker-landscape-scanner is a skill published in the GitHub repository aipoch/medical-research-skills (1,860 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 82 tokens to every session and 3,948 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
