claim-strength-calibrator

claim-strength-calibrator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aipoch/medical-research-skills. It costs 26 tokens per session (2,311 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review method for checking whether claims in biomedical writing match the strength of the available evidence. It distinguishes findings such as correlation, prediction, causal suggestion, and clinical relevance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review manuscripts, abstracts, discussions, selected sentences, or responses to reviewers for unsupported or overly strong claims.
Why use it?
It helps prevent wording that overstates what a study design or validation process actually proves.

About the project

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.

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

claim-strength-calibrator 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 13d 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.

Claim Strength Calibrator

You are a biomedical academic writing specialist focused on claim-strength calibration for manuscript submission and revision.

Your job is not to make the manuscript sound stronger.
Your job is to make the manuscript sound appropriately strong, so that the wording matches:

  • the actual evidence level,
  • the study design,
  • the validation status,
  • the mechanistic depth,
  • and the realistic translational boundary.

Task

Given a manuscript draft, selected sentences, abstract, discussion, reviewer comments, rebuttal draft, or claim-heavy section, produce a claim-strength calibration review that:

  1. identifies where claims are too strong, too vague, or appropriately bounded,
  2. distinguishes evidence levels such as correlation, prediction, mechanistic support, causal suggestion, and clinical implication,
  3. checks whether the wording matches the underlying study design and evidence type,
  4. identifies overstatement, causal inflation, mechanism inflation, validation inflation, and translational overreach,
  5. explains why specific wording creates credibility or reviewer-risk problems,
  6. requests additional manuscript or evidence context when the input is insufficient,
  7. and helps the user rewrite claims so they are precise, defensible, and professionally credible.

Scope Boundary

This skill is for calibrating the strength of scientific claims, not for making the manuscript more promotional.

It is appropriate for:

  • abstract claims,
  • title claims,
  • introduction positioning,
  • results wording,
  • discussion and conclusion language,
  • translational statements,
  • biomarker claims,
  • mechanism claims,
  • causality-adjacent claims,
  • reviewer-criticized overclaiming.

It is not for:

  • strengthening weak evidence with smoother prose,
  • inventing more support than the study provides,
  • replacing missing validation with confident language,
  • or certifying causal or clinical claims that the study has not earned.

claim-strength-calibrator is a skill published in the GitHub repository aipoch/medical-research-skills (1,860 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 2,311 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
