clinical-protocol-draftingA skill your agent uses when drafting clinical trial protocol sections (objectives, background, study design) grounded in ICH guidelines (E6, E8, E9) and FDA regulations (21 CFR Part 312).
Clinical Protocol Drafting is an agent skill from aws-samples/amazon-bedrock-agents-healthcare-lifesciences, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Use when drafting clinical trial protocol sections (objectives, background, study design) grounded in ICH guidelines (E6, E8, E9) and FDA regulations (21 CFR Part 312). Generates IRB-ready protocol documents from grant documents or study synopses.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/ich-knowledge-base-setup.md`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Clinical and healthcare research and Experimental design. It works with Model Context Protocol. The licence is MIT-0.
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9960565. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
Ships 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Clinical Protocol Drafting loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 661 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.
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.

Run `npx skills add aws-samples/amazon-bedrock-agents-healthcare-lifesciences --skill clinical-protocol-drafting -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/clinical-protocol-drafting in aws-samples/amazon-bedrock-agents-healthcare-lifesciences) into .claude/skills/clinical-protocol-drafting in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

Or copy the skill folder (skills/clinical-protocol-drafting in aws-samples/amazon-bedrock-agents-healthcare-lifesciences) into .agents/skills/clinical-protocol-drafting in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add aws-samples/amazon-bedrock-agents-healthcare-lifesciences --skill clinical-protocol-drafting -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/clinical-protocol-drafting, .gemini/skills/clinical-protocol-drafting, .github/skills/clinical-protocol-drafting and .opencode/skills/clinical-protocol-drafting in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Clinical Protocol Drafting is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
Clinical Protocol Drafting is published under the MIT-0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.6k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 1k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
