What it does

Healthtech Advisor is an agent skill from borghei/Claude-Skills. Strategic advisory for digital health founders on HIPAA scope, FDA SaMD classification, EHR integration, and payor/provider GTM. Use when scoping a healthtech idea, classifying PHI, or mentioning HIPAA, FDA SaMD, EHR, or telehealth.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/hipaa_scope_template.md`, `references/fda_samd_basics.md` and `references/gtm_patterns.md`).

It sits in Legal & Compliance, covering Healthcare and finance regulation, Go-to-market strategy and Clinical and healthcare research. The repository describes itself as: 385 AI skills, 77 expert agents, and 900 stdlib Python tools for every team: engineering, PM, marketing, C-level, compliance, business ops, research, and a LinkedIn toolkit… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Scoping a healthtech idea
  • Classifying PHI
  • Mentioning HIPAA

Example prompts

  • “/healthtech-advisor”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Write a 1-paragraph description of what your product does and what data it touches
  2. Run python scripts/phi_scope_checker.py description.txt
  3. Use the output to scope HIPAA exposure and identify whether you're a Business Associate, Covered Entity, neither, or both

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4a698e8. 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

Healthtech Advisor loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~9.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 741 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~9.1k

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.

Healthtech Advisor

Strategic frameworks for digital health and healthtech founders, operators, and product leaders. Complements (does not replace) the RA/QM compliance domain. RA/QM covers regulatory and quality management for medical devices; this skill covers business-side strategy for health software companies.

Disclaimer: Frameworks and orientation only. Not legal, regulatory, clinical, or compliance advice. Healthtech businesses need licensed counsel (HIPAA, FDA, fraud-and-abuse), clinical advisors, and qualified RA/QM specialists. Use this skill to organize strategy; engage specialists for binding decisions.

Quick Start

10-Minute Scope Check
  1. Write a 1-paragraph description of what your product does and what data it touches
  2. Run python scripts/phi_scope_checker.py description.txt
  3. Use the output to scope HIPAA exposure and identify whether you're a Business Associate, Covered Entity, neither, or both
Pick a GTM
  1. Read references/gtm_patterns.md
  2. Identify your buyer: payor, provider, employer, individual, pharma, government
  3. Each GTM has a different sales motion, contract length, and economics — pick before committing engineering

Core Workflows

Workflow 1: HIPAA Scope and BAA Strategy

Goal: Determine whether HIPAA applies, in what capacity (Covered Entity, Business Associate, neither), and what BAAs you need with whom.

Steps:

  1. Run PHI scope checker on your product description
  2. Identify: do you handle PHI on behalf of a Covered Entity (you're a BA), are you a CE yourself, or are you handling consumer-generated health data outside HIPAA?
  3. Map BAA requirements: with which Covered Entities you operate as BA, with which subcontractors you operate as BA-of-BA
  4. Engage HIPAA-specialist counsel to review scope before launch
  5. Operationalize: BA-grade hosting, encryption, access controls, audit logs, breach notification process

Time Estimate: 4-8 weeks for first scope and BAA template.

Workflow 2: FDA SaMD Classification

Goal: Determine whether your software is regulated as a medical device by the FDA, and at which classification.

Steps:

  1. Read references/fda_samd_basics.md
  2. Apply IMDRF risk categorization framework: severity of healthcare situation × significance of information
  3. Determine FDA class (I, II, III) or unregulated wellness category
  4. If regulated: pair with ra-qm-team/fda-compliance/ and ra-qm-team/iec-62304-compliance/ for the implementation work
  5. If unregulated wellness: document why, and avoid claims that would cross into regulated territory

Time Estimate: 4-12 weeks for classification, then RA/QM-driven submission timelines.

Workflow 3: GTM Selection

Goal: Pick the buyer segment and sales motion that matches your product.

Steps:

  1. Read references/gtm_patterns.md
  2. Map your product's value proposition to each buyer's purchase criteria
  3. Recognize the constraints: payor 24-36 month sales cycles, provider IT integration, employer benefits-cycle timing
  4. Pick one primary motion to start; expand later
  5. Build the team that matches the motion — payor sales is different from provider sales is different from D2C

Time Estimate: 4-8 weeks for GTM strategy decision.


Tools

phi_scope_checker.py

Scans a product description for indicators of PHI handling and HIPAA scope. Identifies whether you're likely a Covered Entity, Business Associate, both, or operating outside HIPAA (consumer wellness data).

bash
python scripts/phi_scope_checker.py description.txt
python scripts/phi_scope_checker.py description.txt --json

Reference Guides

  • references/fda_samd_basics.md — Software as Medical Device classification, IMDRF framework, US vs EU
  • references/gtm_patterns.md — Payor, provider, employer, individual, pharma, government — sales cycles, contract structures, decision criteria
  • references/value_based_care_primer.md — Fee-for-service vs VBC, capitation, shared savings, ACOs, common models

Templates

  • assets/hipaa_scope_template.md — Document template for capturing HIPAA scope decisions and BAA inventory

Best Practices

  • Engage HIPAA counsel before architecture decisions. Same point as fintech: regulatory shapes infrastructure.
  • Don't claim HIPAA compliance — be HIPAA compliant. Marketing claims attract regulator attention; the actual program protects the company.
  • Don't conflate HIPAA and FDA. They cover different things. HIPAA = data; FDA = device.
  • PHI vs consumer health data. Apple Health data, fitness tracker data, and consumer wellness data are not always PHI. The status depends on context (Covered Entity relationship), not the data type alone.
  • Plan for state laws. California (CMIA), Washington (My Health My Data), and others extend beyond HIPAA. Texas, NY have their own.
  • EHR integrations are slow. Epic, Cerner, athenahealth integrations take months and require partnership programs. Plan accordingly.

Integration Points

  • ra-qm-team/ for medical-device-grade compliance work (ISO 13485, MDR, FDA, IEC 62304)
  • legal/ for BAA / DPA templates and contract review
  • engineering/cs-security-engineer — healthtech security goes beyond standard SaaS
  • business-growth/pricing-strategy — healthtech pricing has unusual constraints (PMPM, capitation, fee-for-service)
  • c-level-advisor/cs-fundraising-advisor — healthtech investor expectations differ from generic SaaS
