tooluniverse-clinical-guidelines

Search and retrieve clinical practice guidelines from 12+ authoritative sources — NICE, WHO, NCCN, AHA, ADA, SIGN, USPSTF, IDSA, NIH consensus, ESMO/ESC/EASL European societies, and US specialty associations. Use for evidence-graded treatment recommendations, dosing protocols, screening guidance, and authoritative-source-prioritized clinical guidance (NICE/WHO ranked above society guidelines).

Quality

Content

56%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 tool-workflow core is excellent and genuinely beyond Claude's prior knowledge, but roughly half the body is general clinical/MCQ knowledge Claude already knows, and nothing is split into reference files despite the volume. Trimming the off-purpose sections and externalizing the tool reference would lift both conciseness and progressive disclosure.

Suggestions

Remove or externalize the Clinical MCQ Reasoning Framework, Diagnostic Test Selection, and Lab Interpretation sections: they restate general medical knowledge and are off-purpose for a guideline-retrieval skill.

Move the full Tool Workflow tables and Evidence Grading reference into a separate REFERENCES.md, keeping SKILL.md a concise overview with one-level-deep pointers.

Add a concrete runnable Python example under 'COMPUTE, DON'T DESCRIBE' so the analysis directive is executable rather than aspirational.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Noticeably verbose: large sections restate general clinical knowledge Claude already knows (Diagnostic Test Selection, Lab Interpretation with SnNOut/SpPIn, Surgical Decision Making, and the ~60-line Clinical MCQ Reasoning Framework including TLICS and Holliday-Segar), which is off-purpose padding for a guideline-retrieval skill.

2 / 5

Actionability

Highly concrete tool guidance with exact parameter names and gotchas (e.g., 'SIGN_search_guidelines(query NOT q)', 'MAGICapp returns dict: use r.get(data, [])', 'NCCN_get_patient_guideline(url) takes full URL not integer ID'); minor gap is the absence of any runnable code example despite the 'COMPUTE, DON'T DESCRIBE' directive.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The search strategy is clearly sequenced (start narrow, broaden, query >=3 sources, retrieve full text) with a fallback ladder and checkpoints like 'Always check publication date' and 'verify the original source'; this is a read-only skill so the destructive-operation validation cap does not apply.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Good in-file header and table structure, but the skill is a 303-line monolith with zero references to separate files; content that clearly belongs in reference files (the full tool table, the MCQ reasoning framework) is inlined rather than split out.

Description

87%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.

A strong, third-person description that clearly states capabilities and explicit trigger conditions with rich named-source keywords. The only gap is a slightly narrow action verb set versus the most comprehensive anchor.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists concrete actions ('Search and retrieve clinical practice guidelines') plus several specific use cases (evidence-graded treatment recommendations, dosing protocols, screening guidance, source prioritization), but the core verb set is narrow compared to the comprehensive multi-verb anchor at 5.

4 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what ('Search and retrieve clinical practice guidelines from 12+ authoritative sources') and when via a concrete 'Use for...' trigger clause listing evidence-graded recommendations, dosing protocols, and screening guidance.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Strong natural keyword coverage ('clinical practice guidelines', 'treatment recommendations', 'dosing protocols', 'screening guidance') plus a dozen named source acronyms a clinician would say, though a few common variants like 'clinical pathways' or 'standards of care' are absent.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

A clear niche (authoritative clinical guideline search/retrieval) with distinct named-source triggers and an explicit prioritization rule, making conflict with unrelated skills unlikely.
