What it does

Radiology Search is an agent skill from huang-sir1/radiology-skills. Search/deduplicate imaging papers or datasets into reproducible corpora; not claim checks or review synthesis. CN: 文献检索、公共数据集

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 15 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `README.md`, `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/dataset-sources.md`).

It sits in Research & Science. It works with arXiv.

When your agent uses it

  • Research & Science work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/radiology-search”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in NCBI_API_KEY

Workflow steps

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

  1. For survey-level or local-corpus work, open literature-survey-workflow.md and choose
  2. Classify the need — papers vs datasets; quick lookup vs systematic recall.
  3. Build the query — concepts (translate Chinese → English scientific terms); for PubMed
  4. Search the right sources (source-tiers.md), per-source limits; for data use
  5. Merge & dedup across sources by identifier/title.
  6. Verify key identifiers; flag unresolved.
  7. For ongoing corpora or full-text acquisition, open living-literature-and-acquisition.md;
  8. For an executed retrieval, open retrieval-run-receipt.md; bind the exact query and
  9. Return a ranked, deduplicated candidate list (+ a logged strategy for systematic

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit aaa0fe6. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • NCBI_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Radiology Search loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 687 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~6.2k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 687 words (~1,631 tokens).

“Find and verify imaging-research papers and datasets across the right sources, merge without double-counting, and hand clean candidates to citation/export.”

Can I use Radiology Search 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 huang-sir1/radiology-skills --skill radiology-search -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/radiology-search, .gemini/skills/radiology-search, .github/skills/radiology-search and .opencode/skills/radiology-search in your project.

What does Radiology Search need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Radiology Search needs Python for the scripts in its folder and credentials named NCBI_API_KEY. Our summary lists: Python 3; A credential in NCBI_API_KEY.

Does Radiology Search 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 Radiology Search 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. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.

What licence does Radiology Search use?

Radiology Search has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.

How many tokens does Radiology Search use?

About 1.6k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 6.5k 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 4.5k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
