iacuc-protocol-drafter

iacuc-protocol-drafter is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aipoch/medical-research-skills. It costs 24 tokens per session (1,998 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A drafting aid for Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee applications. IACUC is the committee that reviews research involving animals, and the 3Rs mean replacement, reduction, and refinement.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to draft or improve the 3Rs justification in an animal-research protocol application.
Why use it?
It helps researchers explain how a study limits animal use and addresses the required 3Rs principles.

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

iacuc-protocol-drafter 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/main.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

IACUC Protocol Drafter

ID: 105
Name: IACUC Protocol Drafter
Description: Draft Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) protocol applications, especially the justification section for the "3Rs principles" (Replacement, Reduction, Refinement).

When to Use

  • Use this skill when the task is to Draft IACUC protocol applications with focus on the 3Rs principles justification.
  • Use this skill for academic writing tasks that require explicit assumptions, bounded scope, and a reproducible output format.
  • Use this skill when you need a documented fallback path for missing inputs, execution errors, or partial evidence.

Key Features

  • Scope-focused workflow aligned to: Draft IACUC protocol applications with focus on the 3Rs principles justification.
  • Packaged executable path(s): scripts/main.py.
  • Reference material available in references/ for task-specific guidance.
  • Structured execution path designed to keep outputs consistent and reviewable.

Dependencies

See ## Prerequisites above for related details.

  • Python: 3.10+. Repository baseline for current packaged skills.
  • Third-party packages: not explicitly version-pinned in this skill package. Add pinned versions if this skill needs stricter environment control.

Example Usage

See ## Usage above for related details.

cd "20260318/scientific-skills/Academic Writing/iacuc-protocol-drafter"
python -m py_compile scripts/main.py
python scripts/main.py --help

Example run plan:

  1. Confirm the user input, output path, and any required config values.
  2. Edit the in-file CONFIG block or documented parameters if the script uses fixed settings.
  3. Run python scripts/main.py with the validated inputs.
  4. Review the generated output and return the final artifact with any assumptions called out.

Implementation Details

See ## Workflow above for related details.

What ships with it

3 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.

Changes

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.
