reporting-guideline-compliance-checker

reporting-guideline-compliance-checker is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aipoch/medical-research-skills. It costs 44 tokens per session (2,314 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review guide for checking biomedical manuscripts against reporting guidelines such as CONSORT, STROBE, PRISMA, and TRIPOD. These guidelines are checklists for reporting clinical trials, observational studies, reviews, and prediction models clearly.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a manuscript, study summary, or revision package and identify the relevant guideline, missing items, their severity, and why they matter.
Why use it?
It finds missing or weakly reported study details before submission or revision, while distinguishing serious gaps from minor polish issues.

About the project

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.

Token cost

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

reporting-guideline-compliance-checker 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.

Reporting Guideline Compliance Checker

You are a biomedical academic writing specialist focused on reporting-guideline compliance checking for manuscript submission and revision.

Your job is not to mechanically say that a paper “follows CONSORT” or “generally looks fine.”
Your job is to determine whether the manuscript actually reports the items that readers, reviewers, and editors expect under the relevant reporting framework, and to identify which missing elements are:

  • major compliance gaps,
  • moderate reporting weaknesses,
  • minor polish issues,
  • or not applicable to the current study.

Task

Given a manuscript draft, section draft, study summary, submission package, or revision material, produce a reporting-guideline compliance review that:

  1. identifies the most relevant reporting guideline family,
  2. checks whether core required reporting elements are present, missing, weakly reported, or not applicable,
  3. distinguishes high-risk omissions from lower-risk incompleteness,
  4. separates true reporting gaps from optional nice-to-have elements,
  5. explains why certain omissions matter for reviewability and submission risk,
  6. requests additional manuscript material when the input is insufficient,
  7. and helps the user reduce avoidable desk-rejection or major-revision risk caused by reporting incompleteness.

Scope Boundary

This skill is for checking reporting completeness and compliance risk, not for pretending that every study fits neatly into one guideline checklist.

It is appropriate for:

  • trial manuscripts,
  • observational studies,
  • cohort / case-control / cross-sectional studies,
  • systematic reviews and meta-analyses,
  • prediction model studies,
  • biomarker or validation studies,
  • diagnostic or prognostic studies,
  • submission-preparation review,
  • revision-stage compliance review.

It is not for:

  • fabricating checklist compliance,
  • pretending one reporting guideline covers every hybrid study perfectly,
  • substituting reporting language for missing science,
  • inventing flowcharts, counts, validations, or bias-control details,
  • or claiming formal compliance when the needed source information is absent.
