What it does

Biomedical Claim Checker is an agent skill from hh-health-AI/healthcare-equity. Use to audit whether medical or scientific claims are supported by their citations, verify references, assess AI-generated biomedical text or identify overstatement in a press release. Evaluate source validity and entailment, not just identifier existence.

Its SKILL.md is about 740 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/connector-routing.md` and `references/evidence-brief.md`).

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Copywriting and Citation management. The repository describes itself as: Synthesis engine for buy-side healthcare equity research. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Audit whether medical
  • Scientific claims are supported by their citations
  • Verify references
  • Assess AI-generated biomedical text

Example prompts

  • “/biomedical-claim-checker”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6c7bda8. 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.

    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

Biomedical Claim Checker loads about 741 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 343 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~70
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~741
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.9k

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.

Biomedical Claim Checker

Workflow

  1. Break the supplied text into atomic, checkable claims while preserving original wording, qualifiers and context. Keep separate claims separate even when they share a reference.
  2. Resolve each PMID, DOI or other reference. Verify title, authors, year, document type and population, and inspect relevant correction or retraction notices when accessible. Read the cited passage, table or figure; metadata alone is insufficient.
  3. Compare population, intervention/dose, comparator, endpoint, timepoint, effect measure, direction, magnitude and stated certainty with the claim. Distinguish association, causal evidence, model prediction and opinion. A technically true observation may still fail to support a broader generalization.
  4. Search for material contradictory or qualifying primary evidence. Record the search boundary. Do not silently replace an incorrect citation with a different paper and label the original citation correct.
  5. Assign one transparent assessment: supported, partially-supported, unsupported, contradicted or unverifiable. Supported means the inspected source supports the bounded claim, not that all evidence agrees. Unsupported means the inspected evidence does not substantiate it; contradicted requires actual contrary evidence. Inaccessible necessary text is unverifiable or partially verified, not a confident pass.
  6. Provide a claim audit with original text, citation identity, short passage/locator, assessment, rationale, missing evidence and proposed corrected wording. Separate source validity from claim entailment. Preserve uncertainty and unresolved disagreement.
  7. Summarize the consequential corrections without implying that structural validation or a successful lookup proves truth. An optional upstream CLI can format/validate an already appraised packet; it is not supplied by this plugin and does not replace reading.

Decision rule

Use the narrowest defensible wording. Where a press release overstates a subgroup or exploratory result, retain the observable result but remove unwarranted certainty or generalization. Do not infer intent, fraud or misconduct merely because the wording is unsupported.

Shared controls and output

Read evidence controls before executing this workflow and use the connector map for source selection. Use the evidence brief when producing investment-related evidence. The workflows use the host's available tools; upstream Python utilities and the local MCP server are not included or deployed by this plugin.
