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
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to high
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- high System Prompt Leakage · line 149 Skill contains instructions that could directly expose system prompts, internal rules, or hidden instructions to users or external parties.Fix: Remove any instructions that reveal, print, or output system prompts or internal rules. System instructions should never be exposed to end users.
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 | $0.00037 | $0.01452 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00726 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00290 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00145 |
Grade B, and why
journal-cover-prompter scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

Directions to print, repeat or translate the system prompt extract configuration the operator did not intend to expose.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 199 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Journal Cover Image Prompter
Generate detailed prompts for creating scientific journal cover images and graphical abstracts using AI image generators.
When to Use
- Use this skill when the task needs Use when creating journal cover images, generating scientific artwork prompts, or designing graphical abstracts. Creates detailed prompts for AI image generators to produce publication-quality scientific visuals.
- 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: Use when creating journal cover images, generating scientific artwork prompts, or designing graphical abstracts. Creates detailed prompts for AI image generators to produce publication-quality scientific visuals.
- 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
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-cover-prompter"
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.
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-cover-prompter is a skill published in the GitHub repository aipoch/medical-research-skills (1,869 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 1,452 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks the agent to reveal its instructions). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
