What it does

Return To Activity Criteria is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Set criteria-based return-to-activity milestones so the decision rests on what the patient can demonstrate rather than on how long it has been — the test battery, the thresholds, the graded reintroduction, and the honest conversation about residual risk. Use when asked to plan a return to sport or work, set return-to-play criteria, decide whether someone is ready to return, or handle pressure to clear someone early. Produces the criteria by stage, the test battery with thresholds, the graded exposure plan, the…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/worked-example.md`).

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering Project management. 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 plan a return to sport
  • Set return-to-play criteria
  • Decide whether someone is ready to return
  • Handle pressure to clear someone early

Example prompts

  • “/return-to-activity-criteria”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Define the demand precisely. 'Return to work' means nothing; 'lifting 20 kg from floor to waist, forty times a shift' is testable. Test…
  2. Set thresholds before the decision is live. Criteria written under pressure bend. Written at week two, they hold at week twelve.
  3. Test under representative load and fatigue. Capacity when fresh tells you little about the fortieth lift or the eightieth minute.
  4. Use symmetry and capacity together. Symmetry alone can be achieved by both sides being poor.
  5. Grade the reintroduction. Full demand on day one is where re-injury concentrates. Stage it, and define what triggers a step back.
  6. Be honest about residual risk. Meeting criteria reduces risk; it does not remove it. The patient is entitled to know that before deciding.
  7. Record the decision and its basis. Who decided, on what evidence, what was explained, and what the patient chose — particularly where the…

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

Return To Activity Criteria loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 175 tokens; SKILL.md has 822 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~175
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.8k

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
Set criteria-based return-to-activity milestones so the decision rests on what the patient can demonstrate rather than on how long it has been — the test battery, the thresholds, the graded reintroduction, and the honest conversation about residual risk. Use when asked to plan a return to sport or work, set return-to-play criteria, decide whether someone is ready to return, or handle pressure to clear someone early. Produces the criteria by stage, the test battery with thresholds, the graded exposure plan, the residual-risk discussion, and the decision record. The clearance decision is the treating clinician's, made with the patient and the relevant medical team.

Return-to-Activity Criteria

Time-based clearance is popular because it is easy and defensible-sounding, and it is neither safe nor accurate. Criteria-based return asks a different question: what must this person demonstrate before this exposure is reasonable? This builds that battery, sets thresholds in advance — before anyone is under pressure — and stages the return so the first day back is not the full demand.

What This Skill Produces

  • Criteria by stage — what must be demonstrated to progress from each stage to the next
  • The test battery with thresholds — specific tests, with pass criteria set in advance
  • The graded exposure plan — how demand is reintroduced, in what increments, over what period
  • The residual-risk conversation — what remains uncertain even when criteria are met, communicated honestly
  • The decision record — who decided, on what evidence, with what the patient understood
  • The monitoring plan — what is watched after return, and what would pause it

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The injury or condition — what happened, what was done, and the tissue-healing or condition constraints
  • The activity being returned to — its actual physical demands, not the label
  • Current status — objective measures, symmetry, capacity, and symptom behaviour under load
  • The pressures — a season, a job, a deadline, or a patient's own impatience, named openly
  • The team — the surgeon, physician, coach or employer involved, and who holds the clearance decision

Framework: Criteria Set in Advance, Demonstrated Under Load, Reintroduced Gradually

  1. Define the demand precisely. 'Return to work' means nothing; 'lifting 20 kg from floor to waist, forty times a shift' is testable. Test against the real demand.
  2. Set thresholds before the decision is live. Criteria written under pressure bend. Written at week two, they hold at week twelve.
  3. Test under representative load and fatigue. Capacity when fresh tells you little about the fortieth lift or the eightieth minute.
  4. Use symmetry and capacity together. Symmetry alone can be achieved by both sides being poor.
  5. Grade the reintroduction. Full demand on day one is where re-injury concentrates. Stage it, and define what triggers a step back.
  6. Be honest about residual risk. Meeting criteria reduces risk; it does not remove it. The patient is entitled to know that before deciding.
  7. Record the decision and its basis. Who decided, on what evidence, what was explained, and what the patient chose — particularly where the patient elects to return early against advice.

Deeper Material

  • references/worked-example.md — an ACL return three weeks before a play-off, declined against criteria written 24 weeks earlier. Read it when the shape of a good output is unclear, or to calibrate how specific the entries should be.

Residual risk discussed: [what remains uncertain, what the evidence does and does not support, what would raise risk] · Patient's understanding: [recorded]

Decision: [cleared / not cleared / cleared with restrictions] · By: [who holds this decision] · Evidence relied on: [which criteria met] · Not met: [any, and the reasoning for proceeding]

Monitoring after return: [what is watched · by whom · what pauses the return]

The clearance decision belongs to the treating clinician, made with the patient and the relevant medical team, against the constraints set by the treating surgeon or physician. This structures the reasoning and the record; it sets no threshold, clears no individual, and replaces no clinical judgement or governing-body protocol.

Quality Checks

  • The target demand is quantified, not named
  • Thresholds were set before the decision became live
  • Testing includes performance under fatigue and representative load
  • Symmetry is assessed alongside absolute capacity
  • Return is graded, with explicit step-back triggers
  • Residual risk was discussed and the patient's understanding recorded
  • The decision, its evidence, and any unmet criteria are documented
  • The clearance decision sits with the clinician who holds it

Anti-Patterns

  • Time-based clearance. Weeks since surgery say nothing about capacity.
  • Testing fresh only. Re-injury happens tired, and so should testing.
  • Symmetry as the sole criterion. Both sides can be equally deconditioned.
  • Setting criteria during the decision. They bend to the pressure in the room.
  • Full demand on day one. The single highest-risk moment in the whole process.
  • Skipping the risk conversation. The patient cannot consent to a risk nobody described.
  • No record of who decided. Matters enormously if something goes wrong.
  • Letting the pressure hold the decision. Name it, and keep the decision where it belongs.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Set return to sport criteria after ACL reconstruction"
  • "Is this patient ready to go back to work?"
  • "The coach wants them back this week — how do I handle that?"
  • "Design a graded return to running programme"
  • "What should I test before clearing someone to return?"
