academic-figures-mcp: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/pubmed-pico-search/SKILL.md

pubmed-pico-search is a skill for Claude Code from u9401066/academic-figures-mcp. It costs 47 tokens per session (1,396 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A clinical research search workflow based on PICO: population, treatment, comparison, and outcome. It turns a treatment question into structured search terms and searches biomedical literature.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to parse clinical questions, expand terminology, build Boolean searches, classify the question, and find relevant studies.
Why use it?
It helps turn a vague question such as whether one treatment is better than another into a focused, searchable clinical query.

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

pubmed-pico-search 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.

PICO 臨床問題搜尋

描述

這個 workflow 用在臨床比較問題。先把自然語言拆成 PICO,再對各元素做術語擴展,最後組成一個可以執行的臨床查詢並用 unified_search 搜尋。

觸發條件

  • 「A 比 B 好嗎?」
  • 「哪個治療效果更好?」
  • 「在某類病人中,某藥是否改善某結果?」
  • 提到 PICO、臨床問題、療效比較

PICO 元素

元素 說明 例子
P Population ICU patients
I Intervention remimazolam
C Comparison propofol
O Outcome delirium

正確工作流程

parse_pico
→ generate_search_queries × 每個 PICO 元素
→ 組合 Boolean 查詢
→ analyze_search_query
→ unified_search

這個流程不再依賴舊的逐步搜尋與合併流程。臨床問題的重點是把 PICO 結構轉成一個清楚的臨床查詢,再用 unified_search 執行。


Step 1: 解析 PICO

自然語言輸入

parse_pico(
    description="remimazolam 在 ICU 鎮靜比 propofol 好嗎?會減少 delirium 嗎?"
)

或直接提供結構化欄位

parse_pico(
    description="",
    p="ICU patients",
    i="remimazolam",
    c="propofol",
    o="delirium"
)

你要關注的輸出是:

  • pico: 解析出的 P/I/C/O
  • question_type: 例如 therapy, diagnosis, prognosis, etiology
  • suggested_filter: 後續可轉進 filters="clinical:..."

Step 2: 擴展各元素術語

generate_search_queries(topic="ICU patients")
generate_search_queries(topic="remimazolam")
generate_search_queries(topic="propofol")
generate_search_queries(topic="delirium")

實務上,只對有值的元素呼叫即可。如果 C 不明確,就不要硬塞進查詢。


Step 3: 組 Boolean 查詢

高精確度版本

query = '''
("intensive care"[Title/Abstract] OR ICU[Title/Abstract])
AND
(remimazolam[Title/Abstract] OR "CNS 7056"[Title/Abstract])
AND
(propofol[Title/Abstract] OR Diprivan[Title/Abstract])
AND
(delirium[Title/Abstract] OR "Delirium"[MeSH Terms])
'''

高召回版本

query = '''
("intensive care"[Title/Abstract] OR ICU[Title/Abstract])
AND
((remimazolam[Title/Abstract] OR "CNS 7056"[Title/Abstract])
 OR
 (propofol[Title/Abstract] OR Diprivan[Title/Abstract]))
AND
(delirium[Title/Abstract] OR sedation[Title/Abstract])
'''

Step 4: 執行前分析

analyze_search_query(query=query)

這一步可以先檢查查詢是否合理,再決定要不要執行。


Step 5: 執行搜尋

unified_search(
    query=query,
    limit=50,
    ranking="quality",
    filters="year:2018-2025, species:humans, clinical:therapy",
    output_format="json"
)

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.

pubmed-pico-search is a skill published in the GitHub repository u9401066/academic-figures-mcp (0 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 1,396 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
