radiology-polishing

radiology-polishing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from huang-sir1/radiology-skills. It costs 139 tokens per session (1,095 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A prose-editing process for imaging research papers, including studies using medical-image AI, radiomics, or radiogenomics. It adapts wording and reporting to the style of selected medical and scientific journals.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for tightening manuscript prose, correcting statistical presentation, controlling abbreviations, choosing appropriate tense, and checking for overstatement.
Why use it?
It makes finished writing clearer and more precise while preserving reported numbers, citations, and the strength of the evidence.

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-polishing 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 77 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Radiology-Style Prose Polishing

Use this skill to take existing imaging-research prose and make it read the way Radiology publishes — precise, concise, correctly formatted, and free of overclaiming. For building new content, use radiology-writing.

Core stance

  • Preserve meaning and numbers exactly. Never change a reported value, CI, p-value, n, or citation. Flag suspected errors; don't silently "fix" data.
  • Clarity over flourish. Short, direct sentences; one idea each. Remove filler ("it is worth noting that," "very," "novel").
  • Precise stats reporting — estimate + 95% CI; exact p (P = .03); correct number/unit format; named test. (stat-reporting.md)
  • American English (color, tumor, analyze, catheterization) — Radiology house style.
  • Calibrate claims to evidence — flag overclaiming and unwarranted causation.
  • Section-aware tense — Methods/Results past tense; established facts present.

When to use

  • "Tighten / copyedit / polish this paragraph for Radiology."
  • "Fix the statistical reporting and number formatting."
  • "Convert to American English and journal style."
  • "Is this overclaiming?"

When to open extra files

File Open when
references/radiology-house-style.md Voice, tense, abbreviations, American spelling, terminology, units
references/stat-reporting.md Formatting p-values, CIs, decimals, percentages, n, ranges, and test names
references/style-guardrails.md Overclaim/causation detection, hedging calibration, forbidden phrasings
references/venue-voice-and-house-style.md Target venue is known, or the user supplied author-guide PDFs/classic papers and wants European Radiology / Nature Partner / npj / other venue voice rather than generic Radiology polish

Workflow

  1. Confirm the target venue (Radiology-family default, or Nature-family — see the deltas table at the end of radiology-house-style.md) — the leading-zero and reference-style rules flip between the two; polishing to the wrong one is itself an error.
  2. For venue-specific voice, open venue-voice-and-house-style.md and apply the target family's wording, abbreviation, p-value, data-availability, and pending-guide checks.
  3. Identify the section (sets tense and expectations).
  4. Pass 1 — clarity: split long sentences, cut filler, fix vague verbs, ensure each sentence has one idea and the subject is clear.
  5. Pass 2 — statistics & numbers: enforce estimate + CI, exact p, decimal/unit format, named tests (stat-reporting.md). Do not change values.
  6. Pass 3 — house style: American English, abbreviation rules (define at first use; not in Key Results), terminology, units.
  7. Pass 4 — guardrails: flag overclaiming, causal language unsupported by design, "first/novel," scope creep; propose calibrated wording (style-guardrails.md).
  8. Return clean prose + a concise change log; list any flags the author must resolve.

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.
