What it does

Procedure Volume Tracker is an agent skill from hh-health-AI/healthcare-equity. This skill should be used when the user asks "are [procedure] volumes growing or recovering", "procedure volume trends for [category]", "utilization trend behind [TICKER]", "track surgical/diagnostic volumes", or needs the volume evidence behind a medtech, provider, or diagnostics thesis.

Its SKILL.md is about 570 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 Education, covering Essays and academic help. The repository describes itself as: Synthesis engine for buy-side healthcare equity research. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asks are [procedure] volumes growing
  • Procedure volume trends for [category]
  • Utilization trend behind [TICKER]
  • Track surgical/diagnostic volumes

Example prompts

  • “are [procedure] volumes growing or recovering”
  • “procedure volume trends for [category]”
  • “utilization trend behind [TICKER]”
  • “/procedure-volume-tracker”

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

Procedure Volume Tracker loads about 572 tokens when it runs, and up to ~789 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 229 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~79
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~572
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~789

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.

Procedure Volume Tracker

Track code-keyed procedure volumes and triangulate the utilization trend behind a name or category.

Workflow

  1. Fix the code set first (from exposure-map, or build it): the CPT/HCPCS and DRG codes that define the procedure/category, with the ICD-10 dx families that gate them (ICD10 Codes connector). Record the set with the output — comparability depends on it.
  2. Run the SUB-MED-01 prompt (in ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/procedure-volume-tracker/references/prompts.md): claims-data trend → hospital operator commentary → site-of-service shift → capacity constraints → 4-quarter forward outlook → leveraged names. Benchmark against the industry's ~3–5% procedure-volume growth anchor.
  3. Sources, each labeled with universe and vintage: CMS public utilization files (Medicare FFS — annual, lagged; state both), hospital operator prints and transcripts (HCA/THC/UHS as the fastest quarterly read — cross-read via healthcare-equity earnings SUB-SVC-01), device-maker procedure disclosures (e.g., robotics procedure counts), and society/registry publications via web research. Reconcile disagreements explicitly rather than averaging.
  4. Decompose the trend: volume vs acuity/mix vs site-of-service migration (HOPD→ASC repricing the same case — pull payment context from cms-reimbursement) vs backlog/recovery effects. Name which component the thesis actually needs.
  5. Apply funnel discipline (${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/funnel-discipline.md): performed procedures are not paid procedures are not revenue — state the stage observed, and for diagnostics use paid tests × cash contribution, never ordered tests.
  6. End with the EVIDENCE BRIEF block (layer: commercial-volume). Feed utilization deltas to healthcare-equity model-valuation (razor-blade and capex-cycle models) and pair with provider-adoption's capacity evidence before concluding demand inflection.
