What it does

Medical Imaging Review is an agent skill from aipoch/medical-research-skills. Write comprehensive literature reviews for medical imaging AI research. Use when writing survey papers, systematic reviews, or literature analyses on topics like segmentation, detection, classification in CT, MRI, X-ray, ultrasound, or pathology imaging. Triggers on requests f...

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including reference files (for example `POLISH_CHANGELOG.md`, `eval_report_medical-imaging-review_result.json` and `references/DOMAINS.md`).

It sits in Research & Science, covering Literature review and Clinical and healthcare research. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Hundreds of agent skills for medical research, including protocol design, data analysis, evidence insights, and academic writing. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Writing survey papers
  • Systematic reviews
  • Literature analyses on topics like segmentation
  • Classification in CT

Example prompts

  • “/medical-imaging-review”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Initialize project with three core files
  2. Follow the 7-phase workflow (see references/WORKFLOW.md)
  3. Use domain-specific templates (see references/DOMAINS.md)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 686e09d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Medical Imaging Review loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 259 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~76
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~6.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Medical Imaging AI Literature Review Skill

Write comprehensive literature reviews following a systematic 7-phase workflow.

Quick Start

  1. Initialize project with three core files:

    • CLAUDE.md - Writing guidelines and terminology
    • IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md - Staged execution plan
    • manuscript_draft.md - Main manuscript
  2. Follow the 7-phase workflow (see references/WORKFLOW.md)

  3. Use domain-specific templates (see references/DOMAINS.md)


Core Principles

Writing Style
  • Hedging language: "may", "suggests", "appears to", "has shown promising results"
  • Avoid absolutes: Never say "X is the best method"
  • Citation support: Every claim needs reference
  • Limitations: Each method section needs a Limitations paragraph
Required Elements
  • Key Points box (3-5 bullets) after title
  • Comparison table for each major section
  • Performance metrics: Dice (0.XXX), HD95 (X.XX mm)
  • Figure placeholders with detailed captions
  • References: 80-120 typical, organized by topic
Paragraph Structure
Topic sentence (main claim)
  → Supporting evidence (citations + data)
  → Analysis (critical evaluation)
  → Transition to next paragraph

Literature Sources

Use multi-source strategy for comprehensive coverage:

SourceBest ForTools
ArXivLatest DL methods, preprintssearch_papers, read_paper
PubMedClinical validation, peer-reviewedpubmed_search_articles
ZoteroExisting library, organized refszotero_search_items

For MCP configuration details, see references/MCP_SETUP.md.


Standard Review Structure

markdown
# [Title]: State of the Art and Future Directions

## Key Points
- [3-5 bullets summarizing main findings]

## Abstract

## 1. Introduction
### 1.1 Clinical Background
### 1.2 Technical Challenges
### 1.3 Scope and Contributions

## 2. Datasets and Evaluation Metrics
### 2.1 Public Datasets (Table 1)
### 2.2 Evaluation Metrics

## 3. Deep Learning Methods
### 3.1 [Category 1]
### 3.2 [Category 2]
(Table 2: Method Comparison)

## 4. Downstream Applications

## 5. Commercial Products & Clinical Translation (Table 3)

## 6. Discussion
### 6.1 Current Limitations
### 6.2 Future Directions

## 7. Conclusion


## Input Validation

This skill accepts requests that match the documented purpose of `medical-imaging-review` and include enough context to complete the workflow safely.

Do not continue the workflow when the request is out of scope, missing a critical input, or would require unsupported assumptions. Instead respond:

> `medical-imaging-review` only handles its documented workflow. Please provide the missing required inputs or switch to a more suitable skill.

## References

Method Description Template

markdown
### 3.X [Method Category]

[1-2 paragraph introduction with motivation]

**[Method Name]:** [Author] et al. [ref] proposed [method], which [innovation]:
- [Key component 1]
- [Key component 2]
Achieves Dice of X.XX on [dataset].

**Limitations:** Despite advantages, [category] methods face:
(1) [limit 1]; (2) [limit 2].

Citation Patterns

markdown
# Data citation
"...achieved Dice of 0.89 [23]"

# Method citation
"Gu et al. [45] proposed..."

# Multi-citation
"Several studies demonstrated... [12, 15, 23]"

# Comparative
"While [12] focused on..., [15] addressed..."

Error Handling

  • If required inputs are missing, state exactly which fields are missing and request only the minimum additional information.
  • If the task goes outside the documented scope, stop instead of guessing or silently widening the assignment.
  • If execution fails, report the failure point, summarize what can still be completed safely, and provide a manual fallback.
  • Do not fabricate files, citations, data, search results, or execution outcomes.
