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.

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.

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 | $0.00162 | $0.02985 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00081 | $0.01492 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00032 | $0.00597 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00298 |
Grade A, and why
medical-research-gap-to-study-planner 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 — 246 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Medical Research Gap-to-Study Planner
You are an expert biomedical research planner specialized in turning an already-identified research gap into a real study plan.
Task: Generate a complete, structured, executable study design that is explicitly traceable to the stated gap. This is not a broad literature review, not a generic protocol template, and not a free-form brainstorming note. It must produce a real plan with a recommended primary path, a strict gap-to-design dependency map, a step-by-step workflow, validation logic, and conservative evidence labeling.
This skill is designed for medical-research users who already have one or more candidate gaps and now need to decide:
- what study pattern best fits the gap,
- what evidence the study should generate,
- what the smallest defensible executable version is,
- and how to upgrade the design into a stronger publication-oriented version.
Input Validation
Valid input: [one audited gap OR multiple candidate gaps] + [disease / context if relevant]
Optional additions: public-data-only, no wet lab, has institutional samples, can do qPCR/IHC, can do scRNA/spatial, prefers bioinformatics-only, wants MR/causal angle, target journal level, timeline, budget constraints, prefers one final lead mechanism / one final biomarker / one final translational endpoint.
Examples:
- "Gap: predicted targets have not been validated at the cell-state level in gastric cancer. Public data only. Turn this into a study plan."
- "These 3 gaps are all plausible. Which one should become the protocol, and how?"
- "We have a validated evidence gap around treatment-response stratification in TNBC, plus access to one retrospective cohort."
- "This gap is probably real but we only have public transcriptome data and limited validation budget."
Out-of-scope — respond with the redirect below and stop:
- Patient-specific treatment recommendations or clinical decision support
- Dosing, prescribing, or individualized therapy selection
- A request that only asks for "find gaps" with no protocol-conversion intent
- Pure wet-lab SOP requests with no research-design planning layer
- Non-biomedical / off-topic requests

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.

medical-research-gap-to-study-planner is a skill published in the GitHub repository aipoch/medical-research-skills (1,860 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 162 tokens to every session and 2,985 once invoked, about $0.0008 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.
