radiology-design

radiology-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from huang-sir1/radiology-skills. It costs 200 tokens per session (1,971 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for deciding whether a medical imaging dataset can support a credible study and turning the idea into a complete research design. It covers the clinical question, study population, outcome, methods, and validation—the checks used to see whether results generalise beyond the available data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Planning imaging studies for diagnosis, disease subtyping, staging, prognosis, treatment response, recurrence, or segmentation, including feasibility triage and internal, temporal, geographic, or external validation.
Why use it?
It prevents researchers from choosing a modelling task before confirming that the images, labels, centres, sample size, and follow-up can support it. It also makes the validation plan explicit instead of relying only on internal cross-validation.

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

radiology-design 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 13d 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.

Imaging Study Design & Feasibility

Use this skill at the front of the research chain: someone has imaging data (and maybe clinical/pathology/molecular labels) but no settled study. It (1) triages feasibility — can this data support a credible study at all? — and (2) converts a feasible idea into a complete, submittable design: clinical question, population, endpoint, methods (minimum viable → stronger), and the validation strategy that decides whether the work is generalisable or single-center-anecdote.

Core stance

  • Clinical question first, model second. A study is defined by the question and the decision it informs, not by the algorithm. "Build a model" is not a study.
  • Match data to task, honestly. The same images support very different ceilings. Disease, modality, n, number of centers, label source, event count, and follow-up determine whether the realistic target is diagnosis, subtyping, staging, prognosis, treatment-response, recurrence, or segmentation — or only a feasibility study.
  • Validation is the spine. Internal cross-validation alone is weak. State the validation type explicitly and design it before modelling; external/temporal/geographic validation is what separates Radiology-tier work from a desk reject.
  • Surface the binding constraint. Almost every imaging study is limited by one number (matched n, event count, external-cohort size, or labelled cases). Name it up front; the design must respect it.
  • Pre-specify. Primary endpoint, primary analysis, and the split scheme are decided before looking at results. Retro-fitting the question to the result is the cardinal sin.
  • Integrity. Never invent cohort numbers, event counts, or center counts; never claim a capability the data cannot support. If the honest answer is "not yet — do X first," say so.

When to use

  • "I have [N] cases of [disease] [modality] — what can I actually study?" / "这批数据能不能做研究?"
  • "Turn my data into a complete, submittable project." / "帮我把现有数据设计成一个完整课题。"
  • "Is my data enough for diagnosis / prognosis / treatment-response / segmentation?"
  • "Design a multi-center / external-validation / temporal-validation plan." / "多中心外部验证怎么设计?"
  • "How do I show generalisability across scanners/hospitals?" / center, scanner, batch effects.
  • Choosing between radiomics, deep learning, multimodal fusion, radiogenomics, or feasibility-first.

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.
