Medical Appointment Advocate is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Prepare to get the most out of a medical appointment — for yourself or someone you care for — with the right questions, the information to bring, and how to make sure you're heard. Use when asked help me prepare for a doctor's appointment, questions to ask the doctor, advocate for my parent at the doctor, or how do I get the most from this appointment.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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 Knowledge Management, covering Note-taking. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked help me prepare for a doctors appointment
  • Questions to ask the doctor
  • Advocate for my parent at the doctor
  • How do I get the most from this appointment

Example prompts

  • “re heard. Use when asked help me prepare for a doctor”
  • “teach-back”
  • “/medical-appointment-advocate”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Prioritize the agenda. Appointments are short — lead with the most important concern and the questions that matter most, in case time runs…
  2. Bring the information. A symptom timeline, a current medication list, relevant records, and written questions make the visit far more…
  3. Ensure understanding. Take notes, ask for plain-language explanations, and use teach-back ("so what I should do is...") to catch…
  4. Advocate respectfully. If a real concern is brushed off, it's okay to say "I'm still worried about X — what else could it be?" or ask for…
  5. Confirm before leaving. Lock down the diagnosis/plan, any medications and how to take them, the follow-up, the warning signs to watch, and…
  6. Stay in your lane. This helps you navigate and be heard; the clinician makes the medical calls.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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

Medical Appointment Advocate loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 171 tokens; SKILL.md has 614 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~171
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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.

description
Prepare to get the most out of a medical appointment — for yourself or someone you care for — with the right questions, the information to bring, and how to make sure you're heard. Use when asked help me prepare for a doctor's appointment, questions to ask the doctor, advocate for my parent at the doctor, or how do I get the most from this appointment. Produces a focused list of what to raise and ask (prioritized, since time is short), the history and info to bring, note-taking and 'teach-back' tactics so you actually understand, how to speak up if dismissed, and what to confirm before leaving — not medical advice, but better navigation of care.

Medical-Appointment Advocate

Medical appointments are short, stressful, and easy to leave without your real questions answered — especially when advocating for an aging parent or a sick family member. Good preparation changes the outcome: knowing what to raise first, what to bring, how to make sure you understood, and how to speak up when concerns get brushed off. This helps you walk in ready and walk out clear. It's navigation help, not medical advice.

What This Skill Produces

  • A prioritized agenda — the concerns and questions to raise, ordered (appointments run short, so the most important thing comes first)
  • What to bring — symptom history/timeline, current medications, past records, and specific questions written down
  • Understanding tactics — note-taking, asking for plain-language explanations, and "teach-back" (repeating it back) to confirm you actually got it
  • How to be heard — respectful ways to push if a concern is dismissed, ask "what else could this be?", and request next steps
  • The before-you-leave checklist — the diagnosis/plan, medications, follow-up, warning signs, and who to call — confirmed before you walk out
  • A boundary — this is advocacy/navigation support, not medical advice; the clinician is the authority

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • Who & why — yourself or someone you care for, and the reason for the appointment
  • The concerns — symptoms, questions, and worries to cover
  • The history — relevant background, current meds, past visits
  • The dynamic — new issue, ongoing condition, or a specialist referral
  • Past frustrations — feeling rushed, dismissed, or confused before

Framework: Prepare, Understand, Confirm

  1. Prioritize the agenda. Appointments are short — lead with the most important concern and the questions that matter most, in case time runs out.
  2. Bring the information. A symptom timeline, a current medication list, relevant records, and written questions make the visit far more productive.
  3. Ensure understanding. Take notes, ask for plain-language explanations, and use teach-back ("so what I should do is...") to catch misunderstandings before leaving.
  4. Advocate respectfully. If a real concern is brushed off, it's okay to say "I'm still worried about X — what else could it be?" or ask for the reasoning; persistence, politely, gets you heard.
  5. Confirm before leaving. Lock down the diagnosis/plan, any medications and how to take them, the follow-up, the warning signs to watch, and who to contact — don't leave fuzzy.
  6. Stay in your lane. This helps you navigate and be heard; the clinician makes the medical calls.

Output Format

Appointment: [for whom] · reason [x]

Agenda (prioritized): [most important concern/question first → then the rest]. Bring: symptom timeline · current medication list · relevant records · written questions. To understand: take notes · ask for plain language · teach-back ("so I should…"). If dismissed: "[I'm still worried about X — what else could it be?]" · ask for the reasoning + next steps. Before you leave, confirm: diagnosis/plan · medications (how/when) · follow-up · warning signs · who to call.

Navigation and advocacy support — not medical advice. Your clinician is the authority on diagnosis and treatment.

Quality Checks

  • Provides a prioritized agenda (most important first)
  • Lists the history/info to bring
  • Includes understanding tactics (notes, plain language, teach-back)
  • Gives respectful ways to advocate if dismissed
  • Has a before-you-leave confirmation checklist
  • States it's navigation help, not medical advice

Anti-Patterns

  • An unprioritized list that runs out of time on minor things.
  • Not bringing meds/history the doctor needs.
  • Leaving without confirming understanding or the plan.
  • Not speaking up when genuinely dismissed.
  • Giving medical advice instead of navigation help.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Help me prepare for my doctor's appointment — I always forget what to ask."
  • "Questions to ask the doctor about my mom's condition."
  • "How do I advocate for my dad at his specialist visit?"
  • "I feel rushed and dismissed at appointments — how do I get heard?"
  • "What should I confirm before leaving a medical appointment?"
