pubmed-rag-synthesizer

pubmed-rag-synthesizer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from YuliaNuzhnenko/bioinformatics-agent-skills. It costs 39 tokens per session (447 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A literature-search workflow for PubMed, a database of biomedical research articles. It indexes article abstracts for similarity search and guides agents to produce evidence summaries with exact PMID citations, where a PMID is PubMed's article identifier.

In plain words
What is it for?
Searching selected PubMed abstracts, synthesizing clinical evidence, creating structured summaries, and citing the supporting articles.
Why use it?
It helps find relevant papers and keep clinical claims tied to identifiable sources.

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-rag-synthesizer 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.

What it actually says

Agent Skill: PubMed Literature RAG & Citation Agent Skill

Domain Version

📌 Description

Vectorizes PubMed abstracts using PubMedBERT, builds FAISS indices, and instructs agents to synthesize clinical evidence with exact PMID citations.


🤖 Agent Execution Protocol

When an AI Agent is tasked with pubmed-rag-synthesizer:

  1. Input Validation: Verify that the required input files or coordinates are supplied.
  2. Environment Check: Ensure dependencies (LangChain, PubMedBERT, FAISS, EUtils API) are installed.
  3. Execution: Run the protocol pipeline snippet below.
  4. Output Generation: Produce actionable Markdown/JSON summaries with publication figures.

💻 Protocol Code Snippet

def build_pubmed_rag(pmid_list):
    # Vector Search Pipeline
    print(f"Indexing {len(pmid_list)} PubMed abstracts for RAG synthesis.")

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.
