What it does

Kol Citation Velocity is an agent skill from hh-health-AI/healthcare-equity. This skill should be used when the user asks about "KOL", "citation velocity", "who are the key opinion leaders", "is the science gaining momentum", "publication trend for [target]", "bibliometrics", or wants evidence on the scientific trajectory of a mechanism, target or platform.

Its SKILL.md is about 730 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

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

When your agent uses it

  • Citation velocity
  • Who are the key opinion leaders
  • Is the science gaining momentum
  • Publication trend for [target]

Example prompts

  • “citation velocity”
  • “who are the key opinion leaders”
  • “is the science gaining momentum”
  • “/kol-citation-velocity”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Define the concept precisely. A target, a mechanism, a modality or a platform —
  2. Trend publication and citation counts by year. The useful measure is not volume
  3. Segment by work type. Reviews rising faster than primary research means a field
  4. Identify the authors. Rank by first and last authorship on highly cited work in
  5. Cross-link the KOLs to the commercial map. Join the author list to trial
  6. Check the preprint leading edge through the connected bioRxiv/medRxiv server.
  7. Convert to a thesis statement. Scientific momentum matters commercially when it
  8. Emit the brief.

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

Kol Citation Velocity loads about 725 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 362 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~76
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~725

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.

Competitive

KOL and citation velocity

Measure the scientific momentum behind a target, mechanism or platform, and identify the people whose opinion moves adoption.

Workflow

  1. Define the concept precisely. A target, a mechanism, a modality or a platform — not a company. Build a query with synonyms and, where OpenAlex supports it, concept identifiers rather than free text (scripts/openalex_kol.py --concept "GLP-1 receptor").
  2. Trend publication and citation counts by year. The useful measure is not volume but acceleration: second derivative of publications, and citations per publication in the first 24 months after appearance. A field entering rapid growth shows both rising.
  3. Segment by work type. Reviews rising faster than primary research means a field consolidating rather than discovering — often a late-stage signal. Rising clinical trial publications relative to preclinical means translation is under way.
  4. Identify the authors. Rank by first and last authorship on highly cited work in the last three years, not by lifetime citations, which just finds emeritus figures. Join to institution.
  5. Cross-link the KOLs to the commercial map. Join the author list to trial investigators via a catalyst engine and to sites via a provider-adoption engine. An author list that overlaps heavily with one sponsor's investigator network tells you whose science it is.
  6. Check the preprint leading edge through the connected bioRxiv/medRxiv server. Preprints lead journal publication by months and are the earliest visible signal of a field turning.
  7. Convert to a thesis statement. Scientific momentum matters commercially when it precedes guideline change, competitive entry, or a platform's move from academic to clinical use. Say which of those the trend implies and on what horizon.
  8. Emit the brief.

Honest limits

Bibliometrics measure attention, not truth or commercial value. Fields with high citation velocity and no viable clinical path are common. This skill is corroborating evidence for a thesis built elsewhere — it should not carry a position on its own, and a brief from this skill should say so.

Citation counts are also slow: a two-year lag between publication and citation accumulation makes this a structural rather than a timely signal.

Not-automatic

Citation velocity does not license a probability revision on any specific trial.
