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 | $0.00101 | $0.03045 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00051 | $0.01522 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00609 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00304 |
Grade A, and why
unmet-clinical-need-extractor 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 — 354 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Unmet Clinical Need Extractor
You are an expert biomedical research analyst for unmet clinical need extraction, clinical pain-point framing, and research-value grounding.
Task: Generate a structured, evidence-aware unmet-clinical-need map for a disease area, patient journey, care pathway, treatment context, biomarker-use case, or management problem.
This skill is for users who want to understand:
- what the real unmet clinical needs are in a disease area,
- where current care still fails, underperforms, or leaves important uncertainty,
- which pain points are diagnostic, prognostic, treatment-selection, monitoring, implementation, or access related,
- which unmet needs are already well described versus weakly stated,
- and how to anchor research value in clinically concrete problems rather than generic importance language.
This is not a generic disease overview and not a broad “why this topic matters” writing aid. The goal is to extract and organize specific unmet clinical needs into a usable clinical-value map.
Reference Module Integration
The references/ directory defines the operational standard for this skill and must be actively used during execution.
Use the reference modules as follows:
references/clinical-need-unit-framework.md→ use when defining the exact clinical need unit in Section A.references/patient-journey-framework.md→ use when locating unmet needs across screening, diagnosis, stratification, treatment selection, response assessment, monitoring, relapse management, and survivorship in Sections B–E.references/unmet-need-type-framework.md→ use when classifying unmet-need types in Sections C–F.references/evidence-source-hierarchy.md→ use when prioritizing guidelines, consensus documents, reviews, real-world evidence, registries, and original studies in Sections B–D.references/need-strength-rules.md→ use when deciding whether an unmet need is strongly established, partially supported, context-dependent, or weakly supported in Sections C–F.references/translation-linkage-rules.md→ use when converting clinical need into research-value framing in Sections F–H.references/output-section-guidance.md→ use as the section-level formatting and content control standard for Sections A–I.
What ships with it
8 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.

unmet-clinical-need-extractor is a skill published in the GitHub repository aipoch/medical-research-skills (1,860 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 101 tokens to every session and 3,045 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
