bmi-bsa-calculator

Calculate Body Mass Index (BMI) and Body Surface Area (BSA) for clinical assessment, obesity screening, and chemotherapy dosing. Supports multiple BSA formulas (DuBois, Mosteller, Haycock), WHO weight classification, pediatric calculations, and metric/imperial input.

71%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The body is well-structured, concise, and actionable with executable examples and a validated workflow, but the in-body Python API diverges from the actual script and most listed reference files are missing.

Suggestions

Reconcile the body's Python examples with scripts/main.py so the documented methods (calculate_bmi, calculate_bsa, calculate_dose signature, pediatric_mode) actually exist, or note which capabilities are planned.

Create the missing reference files referenced in the References section (bsa_formulas_comparison.md, pediatric_norms.md, chemotherapy_dosing.md, ethnic_adjustments.md) or remove the broken links.

Add an explicit re-validate/retry loop after script execution so failures feed back into a fix step rather than only triggering the static fallback message.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	Mostly efficient with executable code blocks and tight reference tables; assumes Claude's competence rather than explaining what BMI/BSA are. A few sections (e.g. the duplicated WHO table and Common Pitfalls) could be trimmed slightly without losing value.	4 / 5
Actionability	Provides copy-paste-ready Python and CLI examples covering the common cases, but the body's Python API (calculate_bmi, calculate_bsa, calculate_dose with drug/max_dose, pediatric_mode) does not match the actual scripts/main.py, which only exposes calculate() and calculate_dose(bsa, standard_dose_mg).	4 / 5
Workflow Clarity	A clear 5-step workflow with an explicit validation checkpoint (step 2: validate ranges; stop if out of bounds) and a named fallback path, but there is no validate→fix→retry loop on script output beyond the fallback switch.	4 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	References are clearly signaled one level deep in a References section, but four of the five named files (bsa_formulas_comparison.md, pediatric_norms.md, chemotherapy_dosing.md, ethnic_adjustments.md) do not exist in references/ — only guidelines.md is present — so most referenced paths are broken.	3 / 5

Description

66%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

The description is specific and distinct, naming concrete actions and natural trigger terms, but lacks an explicit 'Use when...' trigger clause, capping completeness at 3. Adding a clear when-to-use clause would raise the score.

Suggestions

Append an explicit 'Use when...' clause, e.g. 'Use when calculating BMI or BSA for clinical screening, obesity classification, or chemotherapy dosing from weight and height.'

Add common synonyms users say, such as 'body mass index', 'weight and height calculator', to broaden natural trigger coverage.

State the dosing action more concretely (e.g. 'compute BSA-based drug doses') rather than only listing 'chemotherapy dosing' as a use context.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists several concrete capabilities ('Calculate Body Mass Index (BMI) and Body Surface Area (BSA)', 'Supports multiple BSA formulas (DuBois, Mosteller, Haycock)', 'WHO weight classification, pediatric calculations, and metric/imperial input') with only minor gaps such as naming but not enumerating the chemotherapy dosing action.	4 / 5
Completeness	The 'what' is clear and detailed, but there is no 'Use when...' clause or equivalent explicit trigger guidance, which per the judging guidelines caps completeness at 3.	3 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Good natural keywords users would say — 'BMI', 'BSA', 'obesity screening', 'chemotherapy dosing' — though common variants like 'body mass index', 'weight and height', and file/extension synonyms are absent.	4 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	The BMI/BSA clinical-calculator niche with named formulas and chemotherapy dosing is mostly distinct from other skills, with only minor overlap risk against general medical or health skills.	4 / 5
