What it does

Physio Initial Assessment is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Structure a physiotherapy initial assessment so the subjective drives the objective and the plan follows from both — the history that localises the problem, the red and yellow flags screened deliberately, and goals set in the patient's own terms. Use when asked to structure a physio initial assessment, write an assessment template, document a first appointment, or improve subjective examination.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

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 to structure a physio initial assessment
  • Write an assessment template
  • Document a first appointment
  • Improve subjective examination

Example prompts

Workflow steps

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

  1. Start with function lost, not pain location. 'I cannot lift my daughter' orients the whole assessment better than a point on a body chart.

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

Physio Initial Assessment loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 160 tokens; SKILL.md has 897 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~160
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~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.

description
Structure a physiotherapy initial assessment so the subjective drives the objective and the plan follows from both — the history that localises the problem, the red and yellow flags screened deliberately, and goals set in the patient's own terms. Use when asked to structure a physio initial assessment, write an assessment template, document a first appointment, or improve subjective examination. Produces the subjective structure, the flag screen, the objective examination plan, the working hypothesis with competing explanations, and patient-centred goals. A documentation framework for a licensed clinician.

Physiotherapy Initial Assessment

A weak subjective produces an objective examination that tests everything and localises nothing. The assessment that works spends its time in the history — what the patient can no longer do, what changes the symptoms, and what they are afraid of — and then examines to confirm or refute a hypothesis rather than to fill in a form. This structures that sequence, and makes the flag screening deliberate rather than incidental.

What This Skill Produces

  • A structured subjective — history, behaviour of symptoms, aggravating and easing factors, and the 24-hour pattern
  • A deliberate flag screen — red flags checked and recorded as checked, and yellow flags identified rather than noticed in passing
  • A targeted objective plan — the tests that would confirm or refute the working hypothesis, rather than a standard battery
  • The working hypothesis, with competitors — what you think it is, and what else would explain the same picture
  • Patient-centred goals — in the patient's own functional terms, measurable, with a timeframe
  • The reassessment markers — the specific findings that will tell you whether treatment is working

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The presenting problem — what happened, when, how it has behaved since, and what the patient can no longer do
  • Symptom behaviour — location, quality, aggravating and easing factors, 24-hour pattern, and any change over time
  • Screening information — general health, medications, weight change, previous episodes, and relevant medical history
  • The patient's beliefs and concerns — what they think is wrong, what they are afraid of, and what they have been told already
  • Context — occupation, activities, sport, home demands, and what recovery needs to allow them to do

Framework: Subjective Localises, Objective Confirms, Goals Come From the Patient

  1. Start with function lost, not pain location. 'I cannot lift my daughter' orients the whole assessment better than a point on a body chart.
  2. Establish symptom behaviour precisely. What makes it worse, what eases it, and the 24-hour pattern. This is what separates plausible hypotheses more efficiently than any test.
  3. Screen red flags deliberately and record that you did. Not as a background impression. An unrecorded screen is indistinguishable from no screen.
  4. Identify yellow flags in the subjective. Fear of movement, catastrophising, low recovery expectation, and work dissatisfaction predict outcome strongly and change the plan.
  5. Form a hypothesis before examining. Then choose tests that could refute it. An examination with no hypothesis produces findings with no meaning.
  6. List the competing explanations. What else fits this presentation, and what would distinguish them.
  7. Set goals in the patient's words, and make them measurable. 'Return to running 5 km without symptoms by week eight' can be reassessed; 'improve function' cannot.

Initial assessment: [patient] · [date] · [clinician]

Presenting problem: [in the patient's words] · Onset: [when, mechanism, gradual or sudden] · Course since: [better/worse/unchanged]

Function lost: [what they can no longer do — specific activities]

Symptom behaviour: location [body chart reference] · quality [description] · severity [scale, at best and worst] · aggravating [what, how long to onset, how long to settle] · easing [what] · 24-hour pattern [night, morning, through day]

Red flag screen — checked and recorded [relevant screening questions for this presentation] · Findings: [none identified / detail] · Action: [none required / onward referral, to whom, urgency]

Yellow flags: fear of movement [ ] · catastrophising [ ] · low recovery expectation [ ] · work/activity dissatisfaction [ ] · Detail: [what was said]

History: general health · medications · previous episodes and response to treatment · relevant medical history · investigations already done

Patient's beliefs: what they think is wrong [ ] · what they fear [ ] · what they have been told [ ]

Working hypothesis: [the leading explanation] · Competing explanations: [alternatives and what would distinguish them]

Objective examination plan: [the specific tests chosen, and what each would confirm or refute]

Findings: [observation · movement · strength · special tests · palpation — recorded against the plan]

GoalMeasureTimeframe

Reassessment markers: [the specific findings that will be re-tested to judge progress]

A documentation and reasoning framework for a licensed clinician. It does not diagnose, does not determine the appropriateness of any assessment or treatment for an individual, and does not replace clinical judgement or your profession's standards. Red flag screening and onward referral thresholds must follow current guidance and local pathways.

Quality Checks

  • The subjective establishes lost function, not just pain location
  • Symptom behaviour includes aggravating, easing and the 24-hour pattern
  • Red flag screening is recorded as having been performed, with findings
  • Yellow flags are actively identified, not noted incidentally
  • A hypothesis exists before the objective examination, and the tests target it
  • Competing explanations are listed with what would distinguish them
  • Goals are in the patient's words and measurable
  • Reassessment markers are identified at the first visit

Anti-Patterns

  • Examining without a hypothesis. Produces a page of findings and no reasoning.
  • A body chart with no functional impact. You cannot set a goal against a diagram.
  • Screening red flags silently. An unrecorded screen provides no protection and no information.
  • Treating yellow flags as personality. They are prognostic factors and they change the plan.
  • Goals written by the clinician. 'Improve ROM' motivates nobody and measures little.
  • A standard test battery. Time spent on tests that could not change the plan.
  • No reassessment markers. Progress then gets judged on how the patient says they feel today.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Structure an initial physio assessment for low back pain"
  • "Write an assessment template for a new patient"
  • "How do I make my subjective examination more efficient?"
  • "What should I document at a first appointment?"
  • "How do I set goals with a patient?"
