ask-openmed

ask-openmed is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from maziyarpanahi/openmed. It costs 69 tokens per session (2,486 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A routing skill that selects the first appropriate OpenMed workflow for a request involving clinical or personal data. OpenMed is a toolset for processing medical text and related data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to route requests involving intake, privacy, extraction, exchange, or verification to an existing OpenMed skill. It only chooses the workflow; it does not process data or make clinical decisions.
Why use it?
It prevents a broad or unclear request from starting in the wrong workflow, especially when sensitive data may need privacy handling first.

About the project

OpenMed is local-first healthcare AI software that extracts clinical information and removes personally identifying details from clinical text on hardware controlled by the user. Healthcare developers use its Python runtime, Apple Silicon and mobile SDKs, and browser support for on-device clinical NER and PII de-identification.

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

ask-openmed 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 10d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 155 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Ask OpenMed

Use this skill as the first pass when a request does not name a focused OpenMed workflow. It selects an existing skill identifier; it does not process input, download a model, call a service, or make a clinical decision. No mandatory network call is part of this route.

Deterministic routing contract

Apply these rules in order:

  1. Normalize only the stated goal: lowercase it, trim surrounding whitespace, and collapse repeated whitespace. Do not inspect or copy the data payload.
  2. Apply the intake boundary. If the goal matches an Intake row, select the first matching intake skill even when the goal also names a later stage. If sensitivity is unclear, its next handoff is the privacy gate: deidentifying-clinical-text, before extraction, exchange, or verification sees the parsed content.
  3. For a goal with no intake cue, apply the privacy override. If it asks to analyze, extract, exchange, share, upload, or verify clinical or personal content and is not explicitly marked safe, start at the privacy gate. The only safe markers are synthetic input, synthetic note, synthetic record, synthetic dataset, input is synthetic, data is synthetic, already de-identified, and already deidentified. A marker does not count when no, not, never, unknown, or uncertain occurs in the four normalized words before it. Treat every ambiguous safety statement as sensitive.
  4. Otherwise inspect the remaining tables in the fixed handoff order shown below. Treat each comma-separated cue as a case-insensitive substring of the normalized goal, and select the first matching row. Every cue cell is a comma-separated list of alternatives; conjunctions have no special meaning. Do not add synonyms or infer cues from the payload. This stage order and row order break every tie.
  5. If no row matches, use building-with-openmed as the orientation fallback.

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.
