running-zeroshot-ner

running-zeroshot-ner is a skill for Claude Code from maziyarpanahi/openmed. It costs 133 tokens per session (1,759 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for extracting custom types of information from clinical or biomedical text without training a new model. You provide labels such as Drug, Symptom, Device, or Procedure when you run it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for quick prototypes, one-off extraction jobs, or evolving schemas that need custom biomedical entity types.
Why use it?
It removes the need for labelled examples and fine-tuning when the information categories are new, unusual, or still changing. The trade-off is that a specialized trained model may be more accurate for a fixed set of labels.

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

running-zeroshot-ner 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 9d 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.

Running Zero-Shot NER

Zero-shot NER lets you extract entity types you name at inference time — no training, no labelled data. OpenMed wraps GLiNER (v1) and GLiNER2 behind a small index + inference layer, exposed via the openmed zero CLI and the openmed.ner Python API. It runs on-device.

When to use

  • Your label set is custom or evolving ("Device", "Implant", "Allergen") and no fine-tuned OpenMed model emits exactly those labels.
  • You have no labelled data to fine-tune with.
  • You need a quick prototype or a one-off extraction over an unusual schema.

When to prefer a fine-tuned model instead (extracting-clinical-entities): for a fixed, well-supported schema (diseases, drugs, anatomy), a fine-tuned OpenMed model is more accurate and faster than zero-shot. Zero-shot trades some accuracy for total label flexibility — use it for coverage of new types, then graduate to a fine-tuned model once the schema stabilises.

Install

pip install "openmed[gliner]"   # pulls GLiNER (and GLiNER2 if a recent gliner is installed)
openmed zero deps               # diagnostic: prints "GLiNER v1: ok" / "GLiNER v2: ok"

openmed zero deps only checks availability — it does not install anything.

The two-step workflow: index, then infer

GLiNER checkpoints live as local model directories. OpenMed resolves them by a short model_id via an index.json, so you build the index once and run inference many times.

  1. openmed zero index <models_dir> — scan a directory of downloaded GLiNER / GLiNER2 checkpoints and write index.json (model ids, family, domains, paths).
  2. openmed zero infer "<text>" --model-id <id> — run extraction against a model from the index, with labels you supply.
# 1) Build the index over your local models (writes <models_dir>/index.json)
openmed zero index /models/gliner --output /models/gliner/index.json

# 2) Run zero-shot NER with your OWN labels (comma-separated)
openmed zero infer "Patient on insulin glargine via an insulin pump for type 1 diabetes." \
  --model-id gliner-biomedical \
  --labels "Drug,Device,Disease" \
  --threshold 0.5 \
  --index-path /models/gliner/index.json

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.
