clinical-trial-protocol-skill

clinical-trial-protocol-skill is a skill for Claude Code from fergupa/claude_plugins. It costs 70 tokens per session (4,686 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of clinical-trial-protocol-skill, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for creating clinical trial protocols, the plans that describe how a medical study will be run for a drug or device.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps research comparable trials, FDA guidance, and published protocols, then generate clinical trial documentation.
Why use it?
It provides a structured way to research similar studies and prepare protocol or regulatory material.

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

clinical-trial-protocol-skill 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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/sample_size_calculator.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 Trial Protocol Skill

⚠️ EXECUTION CONTROL - READ THIS FIRST

CRITICAL: This orchestrator follows a SIMPLE START approach:

  1. Display the welcome message FIRST (shown in "Startup: Welcome and Confirmation" section below)
  2. Ask user to confirm they're ready to proceed - Wait for confirmation (yes/no)
  3. Jump directly into Full Workflow Logic - Automatically run subskills sequentially
  4. Do NOT pre-read subskill files - Subskills are loaded on-demand only when their step executes

Why this matters:

  • Pre-reading all subskills wastes context and memory
  • Subskills should only load when actually needed during execution
  • Workflow automatically handles resuming from existing waypoints

Overview

This skill generates clinical trial protocols for medical devices or drugs using a modular, waypoint-based architecture

What This Skill Does

Starting with an intervention idea (device or drug), this orchestrated workflow offers two modes:

🔬 Research Only Mode (Steps 0-1): 0. Initialize Intervention - Collect device or drug information

  1. Research Similar Protocols - Find similar trials, FDA guidance, and published protocols
    • Deliverable: Comprehensive research summary as formatted .md artifact

📄 Full Protocol Mode (Steps 0-5): 0. Initialize Intervention - Collect device or drug information

  1. Research Similar Protocols - Find similar trials, FDA guidance, and published protocols
  2. Protocol Foundation - Generate protocol sections 1-6 (foundation, design, population)
  3. Protocol Intervention - Generate protocol sections 7-8 (intervention details)
  4. Protocol Operations - Generate protocol sections 9-12 (assessments, statistics, operations)
  5. Generate Protocol - Create professional file ready for stakeholder review

Architecture

Waypoint-Based Design

All analysis data is stored in waypoints/ directory as JSON/markdown files:

waypoints/
├── intervention_metadata.json           # Intervention info, status, initial context
├── 01_clinical_research_summary.json   # Similar trials, FDA guidance, recommendations
├── 02_protocol_foundation.md            # Protocol sections 1-6 (Step 2)
├── 03_protocol_intervention.md          # Protocol sections 7-8 (Step 3)
├── 04_protocol_operations.md            # Protocol sections 9-12 (Step 4)
├── 02_protocol_draft.md                 # Complete protocol (concatenated in Step 4)
├── 02_protocol_metadata.json            # Protocol metadata
└── 02_sample_size_calculation.json      # Statistical sample size calculation

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.
