med-paper-assistant: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/idea-validation/SKILL.md

idea-validation is a skill for Claude Code from u9401066/med-paper-assistant. It costs 98 tokens per session (856 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A framework for checking whether a medical research hypothesis is testable and whether a study plan is feasible. It analyses PICO—population, intervention, comparison, and outcome—and suggests study designs based on the question.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess hypotheses, organise clinical questions, check feasibility, recommend a study design, and evaluate factors such as sample size, treatment effects, risk factors, or prevalence.
Why use it?
It helps turn broad research ideas into questions with a clear comparison and measurable outcome. It also flags sample sizes or study types that may not support the planned conclusion.

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

idea-validation 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.

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.
