What it does

Openevidence Common Errors is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Diagnose weak, incomplete, or poorly grounded OpenEvidence results using prompt, model, citation, and workflow checks. Use when working with OpenEvidence in a healthcare organization. Trigger with "openevidence common errors", "OpenEvidence troubleshooting", or a matching workflow request.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/official-docs.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code; requires authorized OpenEvidence access and qualified clinical review for patient-care use

It sits in Research & Science, covering Citation management. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Working with OpenEvidence in a healthcare organization
  • With openevidence common errors
  • OpenEvidence troubleshooting
  • A matching workflow request

Example prompts

  • “openevidence common errors”
  • “OpenEvidence troubleshooting”
  • “/openevidence-common-errors”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code; requires authorized OpenEvidence access and qualified clinical review for patient-care use
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

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

  1. Classify the symptom as access, missing context, irrelevant evidence, conflicting evidence, citation mismatch, or product failure.
  2. Reduce the question to the clinical decision, population, intervention, comparator, outcome, and time horizon that matter.
  3. Compare an ordinary Ask response with an appropriate model or Snow only when the current guide supports that choice.
  4. Open the cited sources and verify population, date, endpoint, recommendation strength, and applicability.
  5. Ask a qualified clinician to review the result and document uncertainty or conflicting guidance.
  6. Create a redacted support packet only when the behavior appears technical rather than clinical.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • WebFetch
    • Write
    • Edit

    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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • openevidence.com

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code; requires authorized OpenEvidence access and qualified clinical review for patient-care use

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Openevidence Common Errors loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 476 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
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.8k

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.

OpenEvidence Answer-Quality Troubleshooting

Overview

Separate access trouble, prompt ambiguity, evidence limitations, and unsafe interpretation before anyone acts on an answer. Keep inputs minimal, separate observed facts from assumptions, and leave consequential decisions with the named accountable owner.

Prerequisites

  • A clearly bounded workflow, accountable clinical owner, and organizational policy
  • Current first-party OpenEvidence documentation and applicable institution agreements
  • Synthetic or properly authorized minimum-necessary data

Tool Discipline

Use Read, Glob, and Grep to inspect supplied policies, plans, and evidence. Use WebFetch only for current first-party OpenEvidence documentation. Use Write or Edit only when the user requests a named deliverable with an approved destination. Never expose credentials, PHI, recordings, or unrestricted environment output.

Current Contract

  • OpenEvidence answers cite sources and may expose EvidenceGrade; neither removes the need for professional review.
  • Model and feature behavior can change, so the live guide and visible product state outrank cached instructions.
  • Do not paste identifiable patient data into a diagnostic packet.

Authentication

Use only the official OpenEvidence web/mobile sign-in or an institution-approved access path. Do not invent API keys, OAuth clients, SDK credentials, service accounts, or private endpoints. Never ask a user to reveal a password, session token, cookie, or recovery code.

Instructions

  1. Classify the symptom as access, missing context, irrelevant evidence, conflicting evidence, citation mismatch, or product failure.
  2. Reduce the question to the clinical decision, population, intervention, comparator, outcome, and time horizon that matter.
  3. Compare an ordinary Ask response with an appropriate model or Snow only when the current guide supports that choice.
  4. Open the cited sources and verify population, date, endpoint, recommendation strength, and applicability.
  5. Ask a qualified clinician to review the result and document uncertainty or conflicting guidance.
  6. Create a redacted support packet only when the behavior appears technical rather than clinical.

Approval Boundaries

Do not create or share accounts; change access, roles, agreements, consent, retention, or security settings; enter PHI; record a conversation; copy content into another system; contact a patient; make a diagnosis or treatment decision; submit billing; transmit a support packet; run a production pilot; or represent vendor capabilities without explicit approval from the accountable owner. A qualified professional remains responsible for clinical decisions.

Output

Return scope, current first-party evidence and date, data classification, workflow or findings, citations reviewed, assumptions rejected, clinical and governance owners, approval state, unresolved risk, and the exact next action. Redact patient and credential data.

Error Handling

ConditionResponse
No useful evidenceBroaden terminology or state that evidence is limited; do not manufacture certainty.
Citation does not support claimTreat the claim as unverified and escalate with a redacted example.
Urgent patient concernLeave the tool and follow the organization’s urgent-care or emergency protocol.

Examples

This compact example shows the minimum reviewable handoff; adapt fields to the approved workflow without adding sensitive data.

Input:

text
symptom=answer ignores renal impairment; query=de-identified medication comparison

Expected handoff:

text
cause=missing constraint; citations=reviewed; revised-prompt=ready; clinical-owner=assigned
