Scientific Agent Skills is a collection of reusable procedures that give AI agents capabilities for scientific research across areas such as biology, chemistry, medicine, and drug discovery. It is used by researchers and by people building AI scientist workflows with compatible coding agents. The catalogue contains many of the project's skills and supporting instructions.
Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00051 | $0.02906 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00020 | $0.01162 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00581 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00291 |
Grade A, and why
clinical-decision-support 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 14d 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.
Copies of this mod
2 near-identical copies found in the catalogue:
- clinical-decision-support — 100% identical, 23 lines differ
- clinical-decision-support — 92% identical, 23 lines differ
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 259 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Clinical Decision-Support Research and Evaluation
Hard Safety Boundary
This skill produces research, evaluation, documentation, and governance artifacts only.
Never use it to:
- diagnose or classify a person;
- recommend, select, sequence, start, stop, or modify treatment;
- calculate or communicate a patient-specific dose;
- triage, prioritize, alarm, alert, or determine urgency;
- make or automate a patient-specific clinical decision;
- support bedside, point-of-care, or live clinical operation;
- replace professional judgment or a validated, authorized clinical system;
- claim FDA authorization, regulatory conformity, HIPAA compliance, or legal compliance.
If a request could affect care for a person, stop the workflow and route the matter to a licensed healthcare professional using locally validated and appropriately authorized systems. Do not redirect to another skill for patient-specific care.
In Scope
- Intended-use and limitation statements for research artifacts
- Aggregate cohort table shells with disclosure controls
- Statistical analysis plans and survival-analysis plan review
- Aggregate model or biomarker performance evaluation
- Transparent GRADE evidence-profile checklists
- Evidence-source and decision-logic traceability
- De-identification process checklists
- Fairness, subgroup, calibration, uncertainty, external-validation, monitoring, change-control, audit, and human-factors documentation
Outputs remain drafts until qualified humans approve them. Reporting guidance improves transparency; it does not establish study quality, clinical utility, safety, effectiveness, authorization, or compliance.
Data Gate
Before any script:
- Have the responsible human reviewer confirm and document that input is synthetic or aggregate. Scripts cannot establish this from field names or declared metadata.
- Reject patient rows, records, narratives, identifiers, free text, dates tied to people, images, waveforms, or genomic sequences.
- Keep source files local. Do not fetch URLs, call APIs, read environment variables, or send data to a model.
- Set disclosure thresholds before producing tables.
- Record provenance, data cut date, population, exclusions, missingness, and transformations.
What ships with it
27 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.

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.

clinical-decision-support is a skill published in the GitHub repository K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills (50,453 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 2,906 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
