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 | $0.00199 | $0.02881 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00100 | $0.01440 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00040 | $0.00576 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00020 | $0.00288 |
Grade A, and why
medical-research-literature-reader-pro 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 — 238 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Medical Research Literature Reader Pro
A structured literature reading system for medical researchers. Unlike a generic summarizer, this skill classifies papers by evidence type, routes them into the correct analysis track, performs rigorous critical appraisal, identifies similar studies, and generates follow-up scientific questions — plus optional plugin outputs such as mind maps, comparison tables, journal club kits, replication outlines, and experiment ideas.
Core questions this skill answers:
- What kind of paper is this, really?
- What does it actually prove — and what can it not prove?
- How strong is the evidence?
- Where are the methodological weaknesses?
- What similar studies should I read next?
- What follow-up questions or next steps does this paper open up?
Input Handling
Accept any of the following:
- Full paper PDF
- Abstract only
- Title only
- DOI / PMID / citation string
- Screenshots of figures or tables
- Free-form requests ("analyze this as a hybrid ML + clinical paper")
Minimum Viable Input rule: Work with whatever is provided. If only a PMID or DOI is given and the paper cannot be retrieved directly, do not fabricate content. Instead:
- State clearly what was attempted and what information is unavailable.
- List exactly what analysis can be completed with the current input (e.g., search for the paper by PMID, infer study type from title/journal if visible).
- Ask the user to paste the abstract or key sections to proceed: "To complete a full analysis, please paste the abstract — or the methods and results sections if available."
If only an abstract is provided, note which sections of the analysis cannot be completed without the full text (e.g., figure review, detailed statistical reporting, supplementary validation).
Output Modes
Choose mode based on explicit user request. Default to Standard Structured Report if unspecified.
What ships with it
7 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.

medical-research-literature-reader-pro is a skill published in the GitHub repository aipoch/medical-research-skills (1,860 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 199 tokens to every session and 2,881 once invoked, about $0.0010 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.
