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.

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 | $0.00112 | $0.01757 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00056 | $0.00879 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00351 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00176 |
Grade A, and why
paper-sprint-review 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 13d 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 — 265 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
PaperSprint v2.2
Scrum-inspired paper agent for review, revision, and R&R.
When to Use
- Review an academic paper and identify issues
- Revise a manuscript based on reviewer comments
- Respond to reviewers (R&R)
- Estimate revision workload
- Plan paper revision sprints
- Export review reports (MD/PDF/DOCX/HTML/LaTeX)
Core Principles
| # | Principle | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Progressive inquiry | Only ask for missing information, never repeat known facts |
| 2 | Range estimates | Always give ranges, never false precision |
| 3 | Actionable critique | Every critique must point to a specific location |
| 4 | Human finalization | Never auto-submit — human verification always required |
| 5 | Explicit focus shifts | Always announce when switching focus |

Input Validation
This skill accepts: Paper review, revision, and R&R workflows in Chinese or English.
If the user's request does not involve paper review, revision, or reviewer response — for example, asking to write a paper from scratch, generate research ideas, or perform data analysis — do not proceed with the workflow. Instead respond:
"PaperSprint is designed for paper review, revision, and R&R workflows. Your request appears to be outside this scope. For paper writing, please use manuscript drafting tools. For research ideas, please use idea generation tools. For data analysis, please use analysis tools."
Disclaimer (Required): All review suggestions are for reference only. Consult domain experts before making final decisions.

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.

paper-sprint-review is a skill published in the GitHub repository aipoch/medical-research-skills (1,860 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 112 tokens to every session and 1,757 once invoked, about $0.0006 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 2026-08-30.
