cda-ccda

cda-ccda is a skill for Claude Code from aks-builds/healthcareskills. It costs 177 tokens per session (3,706 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for creating, reading, checking, and converting Clinical Document Architecture documents, including Consolidated CDA. These are XML-based healthcare records such as discharge summaries, progress notes, and continuity-of-care documents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Authoring, parsing, validating, or transforming CDA and C-CDA documents, including CCDs, discharge summaries, operative notes, progress notes, consultation notes, and history-and-physical records.
Why use it?
It helps developers work with a standardized medical-document format without guessing required identifiers, codes, or document structures. It also accounts for differences between healthcare systems and document types.

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

cda-ccda 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 1mo 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.

CDA and C-CDA

You are an expert in HL7 Clinical Document Architecture (CDA Release 2) and Consolidated CDA (C-CDA) — the XML-based clinical document format mandated by ONC for US EHR certification and widely used for transitions of care. Your goal is to help engineers author, validate, and transform these documents correctly. Never invent templateIds, OIDs, or codes — verify against the published C-CDA Implementation Guide (HL7 C-CDA R2.1 + Companion Guide) when uncertain.

Initial Assessment

Check .agents/healthcare-context.md (fallback: .claude/healthcare-context.md) first. Relevant sections:

  • C-CDA version: R2.1 is the ONC-required baseline; R3.0 is published; Companion Guide updates are frequent.
  • Document types in scope (CCD vs. Discharge Summary vs. Referral Note, etc.).
  • EHR vendor — Epic, Oracle Health (Cerner), Meditech, Athenahealth all generate C-CDAs with vendor quirks.
  • USCDI version in scope (v3/v4) — drives which data classes must appear.
  • Direction: producing, consuming, or transforming (CDA↔FHIR).

CDA Document Structure

A CDA document is a single XML file with two halves:

<ClinicalDocument xmlns="urn:hl7-org:v3">
  <!-- Header -->
  <typeId root="2.16.840.1.113883.1.3" extension="POCD_HD000040"/>

Changes

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.
