dicom-processing

dicom-processing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from awslabs/hcls-agent-skills. It costs 91 tokens per session (2,870 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT-0.

A skill for working with DICOM and NIfTI, file formats commonly used for medical images and brain-imaging data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Converting DICOM to NIfTI, reading or changing DICOM headers, de-identifying scans, detecting identifying text embedded in images, and preparing data for BIDS research projects.
Why use it?
Medical imaging files contain both image data and technical or identifying information in their headers. Processing them correctly matters when converting formats, organizing studies, or removing personal information.

About the project

awslabs/hcls-agent-skills is a collection of reusable instructions that help AI agents handle healthcare and life sciences work, including genomics, medical imaging, claims, and drug discovery. It is intended for agents running on Agent Skills-compatible platforms, and the catalogue entries are its individual domain skills.

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

dicom-processing scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

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.
