What it does
Shift Handover Summarizer is an agent skill from aipoch/medical-research-skills. Generate structured shift handover summaries from EHR records, highlighting critical events, vital sign changes, and pending tasks for incoming clinical staff.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts (for example `POLISH_CHANGELOG.md`, `scripts/main.py` and `shift-handover-summarizer_audit_result_v2.json`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Clinical and healthcare research. 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
- Tasks that involve Clinical and healthcare research
Example prompts
- “/shift-handover-summarizer”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Confirm the patient records file, shift start/end times, and optional department filter.
- Validate that the input records are within the declared shift time range.
- Timezone validation: If --shift-start or --shift-end lacks a timezone offset (e.g., 2026-02-06T00:00:00 without Z or +HH:MM), emit a…
- Run the summarizer script or apply the manual extraction path.
- Return a structured summary with patients ranked by priority, key events, and pending tasks.
- If inputs are incomplete, state exactly which fields are missing and request only the minimum additional information.
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
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python
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
Shift Handover Summarizer loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 597 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Shift Handover Summarizer
Generate structured shift handover summaries from EHR updates, highlighting critical events that occurred during the shift.
Clinical Disclaimer: This tool generates summaries for handover support only. All clinical decisions must be verified by qualified medical staff. Patient data must comply with applicable data protection regulations (e.g., HIPAA).
Quick Check
python -m py_compile scripts/main.py
python scripts/main.py --helpWhen to Use
- Use this skill when generating a structured handover summary from EHR records at the end of a clinical shift.
- Use this skill when prioritizing patients by event severity for incoming staff.
- Do not use this skill as a substitute for direct clinical handover, real-time patient assessment, or emergency triage.
Workflow
- Confirm the patient records file, shift start/end times, and optional department filter.
- Validate that the input records are within the declared shift time range.
- Timezone validation: If
--shift-startor--shift-endlacks a timezone offset (e.g.,2026-02-06T00:00:00withoutZor+HH:MM), emit a warning: "Shift times appear to lack a timezone offset. Assuming UTC. Specify timezone explicitly (e.g.,2026-02-06T00:00:00+08:00) to avoid incorrect event filtering." - Run the summarizer script or apply the manual extraction path.
- Return a structured summary with patients ranked by priority, key events, and pending tasks.
- If inputs are incomplete, state exactly which fields are missing and request only the minimum additional information.
Usage
python scripts/main.py \
--records data/shift_records.json \
--shift-start "2026-02-06T00:00:00Z" \
--shift-end "2026-02-06T08:00:00Z" \
--department "Cardiology" \
--output summary.jsonParameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
--records | file path | Yes | JSON file of EHR records for the shift |
--shift-start | ISO 8601 | Yes | Shift start time |
--shift-end | ISO 8601 | Yes | Shift end time |
--department | string | No | Department filter |
--output | file path | No | Output file path (default: stdout) |
--no-vitals | flag | No | Exclude vital signs summary |
Event Priority Levels
| Priority | Event Type |
|---|---|
| High | Resuscitation, deterioration, serious complications, abnormal vitals |
| Medium | New symptoms, abnormal findings, medication adjustments, special procedures |
| Low | Routine treatment, condition improvement, daily care |
Output
- Shift summary with total patients and critical patient count
- Per-patient priority ranking, key events, vitals summary, medication summary, and pending tasks
- Plain-text handover narrative
Scope Boundaries
- This skill processes structured EHR records; it does not access live hospital systems.
- Event classification is based on preset thresholds and keywords; adjust thresholds for department-specific needs.
- This skill does not replace direct verbal handover or physician sign-off.

Stress-Case Rules
For complex multi-constraint requests, always include these explicit blocks:
- Assumptions
- Shift Period and Inputs Used
- Summary Output
- Critical Flags
- Risks and Manual Checks
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
scripts/main.pyfails, report the failure point, summarize what still can be completed safely, and provide a manual fallback. - Do not fabricate patient data, clinical events, or execution outcomes.
Input Validation
This skill accepts: a structured EHR records file with shift start and end times for handover summary generation.
If the request does not involve shift handover summary generation from EHR records — for example, asking for real-time patient monitoring, clinical diagnosis, or direct treatment recommendations — do not proceed with the workflow. Instead respond:
"shift-handover-summarizer is designed to generate structured handover summaries from EHR records. Your request appears to be outside this scope. Please provide a records file and shift times, or use a more appropriate clinical tool."
Response Template
Use the following fixed structure for non-trivial requests:
- Objective
- Inputs Received
- Assumptions
- Workflow
- Deliverable
- Risks and Limits
- Next Checks
If the request is simple, you may compress the structure, but still keep assumptions and limits explicit when they affect correctness.
