alterlab-clinical-decision

alterlab-clinical-decision is a skill for Claude Code from AlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-Skills. It costs 140 tokens per session (5,501 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of clinical-decision-support, MIT.

A document-generation tool for group-level clinical and pharmaceutical research. It creates analyses of patient groups divided by biomarkers and treatment recommendation reports with evidence ratings and decision algorithms.

In plain words
What is it for?
Compare outcomes between biomarker-defined patient groups and prepare evidence-based treatment recommendations for research, pharmaceutical, or clinical guideline settings.
Why use it?
It helps turn clinical research findings into structured documents that can support treatment strategy, drug development, or guideline work.

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

alterlab-clinical-decision 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (scripts/biomarker_classifier.py, scripts/build_decision_tree.py, scripts/create_cohort_tables.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Clinical Decision Support Documents

Description

Generate professional clinical decision support (CDS) documents for pharmaceutical companies, clinical researchers, and medical decision-makers. This skill specializes in analytical, evidence-based documents that inform treatment strategies and drug development:

  1. Patient Cohort Analysis - Biomarker-stratified group analyses with statistical outcome comparisons
  2. Treatment Recommendation Reports - Evidence-based clinical guidelines with GRADE grading and decision algorithms

All documents are generated as publication-ready LaTeX/PDF files optimized for pharmaceutical research, regulatory submissions, and clinical guideline development.

Note: For individual patient treatment plans at the bedside, use the alterlab-treatment-plans skill instead. For single-patient case reports for journal submission (e.g. CARE-guideline cases), use alterlab-clinical-reports. This skill focuses on group-level analyses and evidence synthesis for pharmaceutical/research settings.

Writing Style: For publication-ready documents targeting medical journals, consult the alterlab-venue-templates skill's medical_journal_styles.md for guidance on structured abstracts, evidence language, and CONSORT/STROBE compliance.

Capabilities

Document Types

Patient Cohort Analysis

  • Biomarker-based patient stratification (molecular subtypes, gene expression, IHC)
  • Molecular subtype classification (e.g., GBM mesenchymal-immune-active vs proneural, breast cancer subtypes)
  • Outcome metrics with statistical analysis (OS, PFS, ORR, DOR, DCR)
  • Statistical comparisons between subgroups (hazard ratios, p-values, 95% CI)
  • Survival analysis with Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank tests
  • Efficacy tables and waterfall plots
  • Comparative effectiveness analyses
  • Pharmaceutical cohort reporting (trial subgroups, real-world evidence)

Treatment Recommendation Reports

  • Evidence-based treatment guidelines for specific disease states
  • Strength of recommendation grading (GRADE system: 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 2C)
  • Quality of evidence assessment (high, moderate, low, very low)
  • Treatment algorithm flowcharts with TikZ diagrams
  • Line-of-therapy sequencing based on biomarkers
  • Decision pathways with clinical and molecular criteria
  • Pharmaceutical strategy documents
  • Clinical guideline development for medical societies

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.
