What it does

Initiate is an agent skill from hh-health-AI/healthcare-equity. This skill should be used when the user says "initiate on [TICKER]", "scope this name", "build an initiation memo", "write an industry primer on [sub-segment]", "construct bull/base/bear scenarios for a new name", or is building coverage of a healthcare company from zero.

Its SKILL.md is about 670 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/prompts.md`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR. The repository describes itself as: Synthesis engine for buy-side healthcare equity research. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Says initiate on [TICKER]
Scope this name
Build an initiation memo
Write an industry primer on [sub-segment]

Example prompts

“initiate on [TICKER]”
“scope this name”
“build an initiation memo”
“/initiate”

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

Initiate loads about 669 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 247 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: ~669
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.

Initiation of Coverage

Build a new name from zero — quick scoping through full institutional initiation. Prompts (verbatim, with inputs/outputs) in ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/initiate/references/prompts.md.

Route by stage

Stage	Prompt	Output
Fast triage — "worth deeper work?"	INIT-01 (30-minute scoping memo)	One-page memo with keep-going verdict
Unfamiliar sub-segment	INIT-04 (industry primer)	1,500–2,500-word primer
Committed — structure the work	INIT-02 (full memo skeleton)	Long-form skeleton with TBD checklist
Clinical-stage biotech	INIT-06 (science/clinical layer)	Pipeline, PoS, readouts, regulatory path
Device/capital-equipment name	INIT-07 (procedure/reimbursement/adoption layer)	Reimbursement, adoption curve, KPIs
Scenario set for the PT	INIT-05 (bull/base/bear decomposition)	Probability-weighted PT
A sell-side initiation just dropped	SS-02 (initiation note decoder)	One-page decode

Execution rules

Follow the standing instructions (${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/CLAUDE.md): filings first, time-stamped numbers, facts/inference separation, confidence score.
Delegate the data layers to the engines rather than working from priors: INIT-06's pipeline/competition/readout sections → clinical-catalysts (pipeline-landscape, readout-handicap, catalyst-calendar); INIT-07's reimbursement section → cms-reimbursement (coverage-check, reimbursement-impact) and its adoption section → provider-adoption + procedure-exposure; epidemiology/TAM inputs → procedure-exposure epi-funnel-input. Collect their EVIDENCE BRIEF blocks and cite them in the memo.
For INIT-04 primers, ground unit-economics claims in the model-valuation references (valuation map by industry) and, when attached to the project, project_search the KB books for domain depth.
Scenario work (INIT-05) obeys MOD-10 discipline: mechanism-distinct scenarios, probabilities sum to 1.00 with ≥5% unknown-unknown residual, early signal per scenario.
Chain: INIT-01 → (INIT-04 if unfamiliar) → INIT-02 → INIT-06/07 → model-valuation (sub-sector model) → thesis (INIT-03 variant perception) → INIT-05 → esg-stewardship (materiality) → comms-compliance (COMM-01 IC memo). Offer the evidence-assembler agent to run the engine legwork in one pass.

Initiate is an agent skill from hh-health-AI/healthcare-equity. This skill should be used when the user says "initiate on [TICKER]", "scope this name", "build an initiation memo", "write an industry primer on [sub-segment]", "construct bull/base/bear scenarios for a new name", or is building coverage of a healthcare company from zero.

When should I use Initiate?

Initiate fits situations like: says initiate on [TICKER]; scope this name; build an initiation memo; write an industry primer on [sub-segment].

How do I install Initiate in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add hh-health-AI/healthcare-equity --skill initiate -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/initiate in hh-health-AI/healthcare-equity) into .claude/skills/initiate in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Initiate in Codex?

Run `npx skills add hh-health-AI/healthcare-equity --skill initiate -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/initiate in hh-health-AI/healthcare-equity) into .agents/skills/initiate in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Initiate in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add hh-health-AI/healthcare-equity --skill initiate -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/initiate, .gemini/skills/initiate, .github/skills/initiate and .opencode/skills/initiate in your project.

What does Initiate need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Initiate is instructions for the agent only.

Does Initiate access the network?

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.

Is Initiate safe to install?

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. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Initiate use?

Initiate is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Initiate use?

About 669 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.7k 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 2.2k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.

What are the alternatives to Initiate?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Initiate: Technical Analyst (tradermonty/claude-trading-skills, 3k stars), Theme Detector (tradermonty/claude-trading-skills, 3k stars), Creating Financial Models (Chen-zexi/open-ptc-agent, 729 stars) and Stock API (zhangxiangliang/stock-api, 2k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
