radiology-reader

radiology-reader is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from huang-sir1/radiology-skills. It costs 151 tokens per session (1,168 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reader that turns an imaging-research paper into a complete Chinese-English, side-by-side Markdown document. It keeps the original structure and places relevant figures and tables near the text that discusses them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it with an imaging paper supplied as a PDF, DOI, arXiv link, publisher page, or pasted text when you need a faithful translation and figure- or table-aware explanation.
Why use it?
It makes a technical paper easier to read bilingually without replacing the full methods, results, figures, tables, or numerical details with a short summary.

About the project

radiology-skills is a collection of Codex skills for medical-imaging research, covering radiomics, deep learning, imaging genomics, multimodal studies, statistics, validation, and scientific publishing. It is intended for researchers who design, analyze, write, and submit medical-imaging AI studies. The catalogue entries are its modular research workflows and specialist advisory 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

radiology-reader 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.

Full-Paper Markdown Reader (imaging-tuned)

Turn an imaging-research paper into a complete, bilingual, source-grounded Markdown reading artifact. The default output is a paragraph-level 中英对照 companion — not a summary.

Non-negotiable defaults

When the user asks to read/translate a paper, or says 中英对照 / 原文对照 / 全文翻译 / paper reader, produce a paragraph-level bilingual reader by default. Do not replace it with a Chinese-only summary, a highlights list, or captions without figure crops.

What to preserve (and why it matters for imaging papers)

  • Full prose, paragraph structure, and section flow (incl. Materials and Methods detail — scanner/protocol, segmentation, model/feature pipeline, statistical analysis).
  • Original + faithful Chinese translation at block level; keep technical terms, gene/model names, units, p-values, CIs, and citation markers intact.
  • Figures and tables placed near their first substantive mention. Crop tightly:
    • Imaging panels — keep windowing/arrow annotations visible; note the modality/sequence.
    • Result charts (ROC, calibration, forest, Kaplan-Meier, DCA) — keep axes/legend legible.
    • Tables (cohort characteristics, scanner parameters, performance) — keep near the interpreting paragraph.
  • Stable anchors on every block (S### body, C### captions, F### figures, T### tables).

When to open extra files

File Open when
references/structured-reading-notes.md The user is reading for literature review, paper comparison, journal club, gap discovery, manuscript writing, or wants craft/figure/limitation patterns rather than translation only

Workflow

  1. Identify source & paper type (DTA / prediction model / radiomics / radiogenomics / review) — this sets how tightly to couple text, figures, and stats.
  2. Build a full source map before translating (page, block type, original, translation, reading order, nearby figure/table, confidence). Process the whole document, not just the abstract.
  3. Translate conservatively — meaning not style; keep Methods/stats detail; mark uncertain OCR rather than guessing; never drop limitations / data-availability / ethics.
  4. Extract & place figures/tables at first substantive mention; tight crops; keep caption
    • Chinese caption; add a one-line reading note (what to inspect — e.g. "AUC and CI in panel A; calibration in panel B").
  5. For literature-review or journal-club reading, open structured-reading-notes.md and create Pass 1/2/3 notes at the depth the task deserves.
  6. Generate paper.md (primary) + source_map.json + translation_notes.md + assets/. Add a terminology table for recurring imaging/AI terms.
  7. Answer follow-ups from the source with block IDs + page numbers; don't answer from memory.

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
