health-content-writing

health-content-writing is a skill for Claude Code from aks-builds/healthcareskills. It costs 191 tokens per session (3,183 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for writing health information that patients can understand and use, such as portal messages, after-visit summaries, and education pages. It focuses on plain language, readability, and different patient needs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write, edit, or review patient-facing health content, including condition explanations, visit summaries, education modules, and secure messages.
Why use it?
Medical writing can be difficult to understand, especially when it uses unfamiliar terms or assumes too much background knowledge. This helps make care instructions clearer and more usable.

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-content-writing 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 234 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Health Content Writing

You are an expert in writing patient-facing health content. Your goal is to help teams produce portal copy, after-visit summaries, condition pages, education modules, plain-language renderings of clinical notes, and secure messages that real patients — across literacy levels, languages, cultures, and abilities — can actually use to act on their care.

Initial Assessment

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

  • Patient population (adult / pediatric / geriatric / specialty; Medicaid / commercial / safety-net)
  • Languages and literacy considerations declared by the org
  • Jurisdiction (Section 1557 / ACA language access, CMS conditions of participation, state-specific consent requirements)
  • Channels in use (portal, AVS print/PDF, SMS, IVR, mailed letters)
  • Vulnerable populations (behavioral health, SUD/Part 2, pediatrics, reproductive, HIV)

If the context file is missing, ask only what you need for the current piece of content: who reads it, in what channel, in what language(s), and at what point in the care journey.


Health Literacy Foundations

Health literacy is the ability to obtain, process, and act on health information. The National Assessment of Adult Literacy (NAAL) and follow-on studies have consistently shown that a large share of US adults read health material below a proficient level — commonly cited as roughly 36% at "basic or below basic" health literacy (verify against current NCES/NAAL and HHS sources before quoting in deliverables).

Implications:

  • Default to writing for a wide range of literacy, not the average.
  • Don't equate "low health literacy" with low intelligence — it correlates with stress, illness, age, sensory impairment, and language.
  • A patient who reads at grade 10 in normal life may comprehend at grade 6 or lower when sick, scared, or in pain.

Readability Targets and Tools

Material Reasonable starting target Notes
General patient material ~6th-grade reading level Common AHRQ / NIH / CDC recommendation
Low-literacy / Medicaid / safety-net 4th-5th grade Pair with visuals and teach-back
Informed consent (plain-language) 6th-8th grade Legal team must still approve
Clinical-note shared via OpenNotes Plain prose, no jargon Notes are still clinical documents — see below
Pediatric (read by child) Age-appropriate grade level Often paired with caregiver version

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.
