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.

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 | $0.00018 | $0.01462 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00731 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00292 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00146 |
Grade A, and why
journal-club-presenter 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.
This is a copy
80% identical to iacuc-protocol-drafter — 105 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 195 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Journal Club Presenter
Paper presentation slide generator.
When to Use
- Use this skill when the task is to Generate journal club slides with background, critique, and discussion.
- 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: Generate journal club slides with background, critique, and discussion.
- 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
cd "20260318/scientific-skills/Academic Writing/journal-club-presenter"
python -m py_compile scripts/main.py
python scripts/main.py --help
Example run plan:
- Confirm the user input, output path, and any required config values.
- Edit the in-file
CONFIGblock or documented parameters if the script uses fixed settings. - Run
python scripts/main.pywith the validated inputs. - Review the generated output and return the final artifact with any assumptions called out.
Implementation Details
See ## Workflow above for related details.
- Execution model: validate the request, choose the packaged workflow, and produce a bounded deliverable.
- Input controls: confirm the source files, scope limits, output format, and acceptance criteria before running any script.
- Primary implementation surface:
scripts/main.py. - Reference guidance:
references/contains supporting rules, prompts, or checklists. - Parameters to clarify first: input path, output path, scope filters, thresholds, and any domain-specific constraints.
- Output discipline: keep results reproducible, identify assumptions explicitly, and avoid undocumented side effects.
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.
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.

journal-club-presenter is a skill published in the GitHub repository aipoch/medical-research-skills (1,860 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 1,462 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 80% identical to iacuc-protocol-drafter, differing in 105 lines, and is treated as a copy.
