What it does

Healthcare Public Data is an agent skill from hh-health-AI/healthcare-equity. Use to retrieve official biomedical or healthcare public records, choose between ClinicalTrials.gov, PubMed, FDA and CMS sources, inspect data vintage and query completeness, or explain the optional upstream local CLI/MCP setup. Never equate a sample or missing result with the full market or absence of events.

Its SKILL.md is about 700 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/connector-routing.md` and `references/evidence-brief.md`).

It sits in Research & Science, covering Academic paper search. It works with Model Context Protocol and PubMed. The repository describes itself as: Synthesis engine for buy-side healthcare equity research. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Retrieve official biomedical
  • Healthcare public records
  • Choose between ClinicalTrials.gov
  • FDA and CMS sources

Example prompts

  • “/healthcare-public-data”

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

Healthcare Public Data loads about 696 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 318 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~696
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.4k

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.

Healthcare Public Data

Retrieval workflow

  1. Match the question to an authoritative source and define entity IDs, population, geography, period and required grain. Read the connector map and inspect the actual available tool schema before querying.
  2. Resolve ambiguous drug, provider, trial or coding identifiers using appropriate official mappings. Do not mix ingredient, brand, strength, formulation, organization and person identifiers.
  3. Retrieve through an available specialized connector or authorized primary-source browsing. Preserve the source envelope and provenance where returned: query, record IDs, source version, dates, reported total, returned count, pagination/cap, completeness scope and limitations. Do not fabricate a missing hash or timestamp.
  4. For CMS aggregate data, discover the exact dataset/distribution and reporting year, inspect the dictionary and grain, then apply valid fields/filters. Separate a sample from a complete query result. Capped rows cannot justify national totals, prevalence or market-share estimates. Suppressed data remain suppressed, not zero.
  5. Treat an empty response as a query result only. Check aliases, changed codes, date filters, publication lags, pagination and access failures before interpreting absence. Completeness relative to one query is not completeness of the research question.
  6. Hand off source-bounded observations to the relevant trial, evidence or financial workflow. State units, denominator, dataset vintage and material gaps. Do not extrapolate beyond supported coverage without an explicit model and labeled assumptions.

Optional upstream software setup

Read upstream runtime only for a separately requested local CLI or MCP setup task. This skills plugin does not include the Python package, new data credentials, a hosted server, or registered MCP tools. Do not invoke a command by name merely because upstream documentation mentions it.

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.
