epidemiology-guide

epidemiology-guide is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from wentorai/research-plugins. It costs 22 tokens per session (1,905 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to epidemiology, the study of how diseases and other health outcomes occur in populations. It covers study designs, measures of disease and association, bias, and public-health data analysis.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan or assess cohort, case-control, cross-sectional, randomised, and review studies, and to select appropriate measures for public-health questions.
Why use it?
It helps researchers choose a suitable study design and interpret relationships between exposures and outcomes. It also explains common sources of bias that can make findings misleading.

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

epidemiology-guide 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 6d 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.

Epidemiology Guide

A skill for designing and analyzing epidemiological studies. Covers study design selection, measures of disease frequency and association, bias assessment, and public health data analysis methods.

Study Design Selection

Design Hierarchy

                    Evidence Strength
                         |
    Systematic Review / Meta-Analysis   (Highest)
                         |
         Randomized Controlled Trial
                         |
              Cohort Study (Prospective)
                         |
            Case-Control Study
                         |
         Cross-Sectional Study
                         |
         Case Report / Case Series       (Lowest)

When to Use Each Design

Design Research Question Time Cost Bias Risk
RCT Does intervention X prevent outcome Y? Years Very high Lowest
Prospective Cohort Does exposure X increase risk of Y? Years High Moderate
Retrospective Cohort Historical exposure-outcome relationship? Months Moderate Moderate-High
Case-Control What exposures are associated with rare disease? Months Low High
Cross-Sectional What is the prevalence of X? Weeks Low High
Ecological Do population-level factors correlate with disease? Weeks Very low Very high

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.

epidemiology-guide is a skill published in the GitHub repository wentorai/research-plugins (291 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 22 tokens to every session and 1,905 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-03.
