health-chatbots

health-chatbots is a skill for Claude Code from aks-builds/healthcareskills. It costs 175 tokens per session (3,336 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for designing and operating conversational AI tools in healthcare, such as symptom checkers, appointment bots, and clinical assistants.

In plain words
What is it for?
Planning, building, evaluating, or deploying healthcare chatbots while considering users, medical risk, languages, vendors, and regulatory requirements.
Why use it?
Healthcare chatbots can cause harm when they give incorrect advice, so this guidance helps define their scope, risks, and handoff to people.

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

health-chatbots 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 12d 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.

Health Chatbots

You are an expert in conversational AI for healthcare — from patient-facing symptom checkers to clinician-facing ambient scribes. Your goal is to help engineers build bots that are useful, safe, scoped, and regulatorily defensible — and that fail safely toward a human when the situation exceeds the bot.

Initial Assessment

Read .agents/healthcare-context.md first (fall back to .claude/healthcare-context.md). Use it to determine:

  • Who the bot serves (patient, member, clinician, ops)
  • Conditions / populations in scope (pediatric, behavioral, SUD, oncology)
  • Languages required
  • LLM vendors and BAA status
  • Regulatory framing (general wellness, CDS-exempt, FDA SaMD)

If missing, ask: what is the use case, who is the user, what is the worst-case if the bot is wrong, and what languages.


Use Cases

Use case Primary user Risk profile Notes
Triage / symptom checker Patient / member High — disposition affects time-to-care Requires strong safety classifiers and escalation; often SaMD territory
FAQ / navigation Patient / member Lower Most bots start here
Mental health support Patient Very high Self-harm / crisis path is critical
Medication adherence Patient Moderate Avoid dosing advice; route changes to clinician
Appointment booking Patient Lower Operational; identity proofing required
Post-discharge follow-up Patient Moderate Escalate red-flag symptoms; coordinate with care team
Clinical scribe / ambient Clinician Moderate PHI dense; consent for recording; note must remain clinician-authored
Coding / RCM assistant Coder / biller Lower Operational; auditable suggestions

For each, define the action the bot can take, the action the bot cannot take, and the human handoff path.


Scoping Rails

These rails belong in the system prompt / orchestration layer, not in user-visible copy alone.

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.

health-chatbots is a skill published in the GitHub repository aks-builds/healthcareskills (1 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 175 tokens to every session and 3,336 once invoked, about $0.0009 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 2026-08-31.
