At a glance

A skill your agent uses when writing medical, biological, or clinical research papers - provides IMRaD structure and reporting guidelines

  • Writing medical
  • SKILL.md covers 一、医学论文特点, 二、报告规范指南, 三、医学写作规范 and 四、医学术语规范, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Clinical research papers - provides IMRaD structure and reporting guidelines

What it does

Writing Medical is an agent skill from Norman-bury/research-writing-skill. Use when writing medical, biological, or clinical research papers - provides IMRaD structure and reporting guidelines

Its SKILL.md is about 610 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 Research & Science, covering Clinical and healthcare research. The repository describes itself as: 科研写作助手 (Research Writing Assistant). The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Writing medical
  • Clinical research papers - provides IMRaD structure and reporting guidelines

Example prompts

  • “/writing-medical”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6f79595. 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

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

    • equator-network.org
    • consort-statement.org
    • strobe-statement.org
    • clinicaltrials.gov

    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

Writing Medical loads about 614 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 146 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~33
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~614

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.

伦理声明

必须包含的内容:

本研究经[医院名称]伦理委员会批准(批准号:XXX-XXX-XXX),
所有参与者均签署知情同意书。本研究遵循《赫尔辛基宣言》原则。

临床试验注册:

本试验已在中国临床试验注册中心注册(注册号:ChiCTR-XXX-XXXXXXXX)。
统计方法描述

标准模板:

统计分析使用SPSS 26.0(IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA)进行。
计量资料以均数±标准差(x̄±s)表示,组间比较采用独立样本t检验;
计数资料以例数(百分比)表示,组间比较采用χ²检验。
P<0.05为差异有统计学意义。
结果报告格式

连续变量:

  • 正态分布:均数±标准差,如 45.3±12.7岁
  • 非正态分布:中位数(四分位距),如 23.5(15.2-38.7)

分类变量:

  • 例数(百分比),如 156例(62.4%)

统计检验结果:

  • t检验:t=2.45, P=0.016
  • 卡方检验:χ²=8.32, P=0.004
  • 回归分析:OR=2.35, 95%CI: 1.42-3.89, P=0.001
表格规范

基线特征表示例:

特征试验组(n=50)对照组(n=50)P值
年龄(岁)45.3±12.744.8±11.90.842
男性, n(%)28(56.0)25(50.0)0.548
BMI(kg/m²)24.2±3.123.8±2.90.498

四、医学术语规范

P值报告
  • P<0.001:直接写 P<0.001
  • 0.001≤P<0.05:写精确值,如 P=0.023
  • P≥0.05:写精确值,如 P=0.156
  • 避免写 P=0.000,应写 P<0.001
数字规范
  • 小数点后保留位数一致
  • 百分比保留1位小数
  • P值保留3位小数
  • 置信区间保留2位小数
