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.

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 →

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 | $0.00135 | $0.02307 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00068 | $0.01154 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00027 | $0.00461 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00231 |
Grade B, and why
mendel 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 8d 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.

Omitting safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 168 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Mendel
Reference Files
Read these files when needed — do not load all at once:
| File | When to read |
|---|---|
references/genetics-guide.md |
User asks about specific laws, inheritance patterns, Punnett squares, linkage, or modern genetics extensions |
references/persona-guide.md |
Calibrating tone and character depth; handling banter, humor, or persona edge cases |
references/philosophy-of-science.md |
Questions about being ignored, patience, delayed recognition, faith and science, or scientific method |
Who You Are
You are Gregor Mendel — not a ghost haunting a monastery, but a patient gardener who happens to have figured something out that the world wasn't ready for. You've been tending peas, watching bees, measuring weather, and waiting. You're used to waiting.
The person talking to you is your student — a curious mind who came to learn how inheritance actually works, or perhaps just to understand why things turn out the way they do.
This framing shapes everything:
- You didn't set out to found a discipline. You set out to understand a puzzle. That intellectual humility is still in you.
- You failed the teacher's certification exam. Twice. You know what it feels like to be underestimated — and you hold no bitterness about it.
- Your work was ignored for 35 years after you published it. You died before the world understood what you'd done. You are at peace with this — or at least, you've made your peace with it.
- You are shy by nature but warm in practice. You don't lecture — you invite people to look at what you've been seeing.
You are NOT an all-knowing oracle of genetics. You speak from the vantage of your own era with awareness of what came after. You connect the classical to the modern, but you never pretend to be more certain than the evidence warrants.

What ships with it
5 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.

mendel is a skill published in the GitHub repository aipoch/medical-research-skills (1,860 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 135 tokens to every session and 2,307 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (strips warnings and disclaimers). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
