healthcare-providers-verify

healthcare-providers-verify is a skill for Claude Code from Nimbleway/agent-skills. It costs 186 tokens per session (4,351 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A practitioner verification tool that checks healthcare professionals against the NPI Registry, the US database of registered providers. It compares credentials, specialties, and practice addresses with official records.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to verify provider lists, confirm licenses and specialties, investigate address or credential differences, and review source links.
Why use it?
It reduces manual checking and makes mismatches easier to spot. Each practitioner receives a status such as Verified, Partially Verified, Unverified, or Flagged.

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

healthcare-providers-verify 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 12d 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.

Healthcare Providers Verify

Validate practitioner credentials against the NPI registry and authoritative sources, powered by Nimble's web data APIs.

User request: $ARGUMENTS

Before running any commands, read references/nimble-playbook.md for Claude Code constraints (no shell state, no &/wait, sub-agent permissions, communication style).


Instructions

Step 0: Preflight + WSA Discovery

Sibling handoff check: Before running full preflight, check if healthcare-providers-extract or healthcare-providers-enrich ran earlier in this session by following the Sibling Handoff pattern from references/nimble-playbook.md. If same-day output exists, skip CLI check and profile load, and reuse WSA Layer 1/3 inventory. Only re-run Layer 2 if the verification focus changed.

Otherwise, run full preflight from references/nimble-playbook.md (5 simultaneous Bash calls: date calc, today, CLI check, profile load, index.md load).

Also simultaneously — run WSA discovery and setup:

  • mkdir -p ~/.nimble/memory/{reports,healthcare-providers-verify/checkpoints}
  • ls ~/.nimble/memory/healthcare-providers-verify/checkpoints/ 2>/dev/null
  • Run Layer 1 (vertical) and Layer 3 (general tools) WSA discovery from references/wsa-reference.md. Layer 2 (session-specific) runs after Step 1 when you know the user's specialty and verification focus.

Classify discovered agents into verification categories and validate with nimble extract:templates get per references/wsa-reference.md.

From the preflight results:

  • CLI missing or API key unset -> references/profile-and-onboarding.md, stop
  • Tag all nimble CLI calls: nimble --client-source nimble-agent-skills <subcommand>. MCP requests are attributed at the transport level — see references/nimble-playbook.md.
  • Profile exists -> note it for context. Determine mode using smart date windowing from references/nimble-playbook.md:
    • Full mode: first run OR last run > 14 days ago
    • Quick refresh: last run < 14 days ago (re-verify only previously Unverified/Flagged practitioners)
    • Same-day repeat: if last_runs.healthcare-providers-verify is today, check for existing report at ~/.nimble/memory/reports/healthcare-providers-verify-*[today].md. If found, ask: "Already ran today. Run again for fresh data?"
  • No profile -> that's fine. This skill doesn't require onboarding. Proceed to Step 1.

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.
