Discharge Summary Writer
Generate standardized, clinically accurate hospital discharge summaries by integrating all inpatient medical data.
When to Use
- Patient discharge preparation requires comprehensive summary documentation
- Compiling admission, treatment, and discharge data into unified records
- Generating follow-up instructions and medication lists for post-discharge care
- Creating legally compliant discharge documentation for medical records

Usage
Python Script
python scripts/main.py --input patient_data.json --output discharge_summary.md --format standard
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Default | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
--input |
string | - | Yes | Path to JSON file containing patient data |
--output |
string | discharge_summary.md | No | Output file path |
--format |
string | standard | No | Output format (standard, structured, json) |
--template |
string | - | No | Custom template file path |
--language |
string | zh | No | Output language (zh or en) |
Output Formats
Standard Format
Human-readable markdown document following clinical discharge summary structure:
- Patient Information
- Admission Information
- Hospital Course
- Discharge Status
- Discharge Medications
- Follow-up Instructions
- Physician Signature
Structured Format
Sectioned markdown with clear headers for EMR integration.
JSON Format
Machine-readable structured data for system integration.
Technical Difficulty
⚠️ HIGH - Manual Review Required
This skill handles critical medical documentation. Output requires:
- Physician verification before use
- Compliance with local medical documentation standards
- Review for accuracy and completeness
- Institutional approval for template formats
Safety Considerations
- Never use generated summaries without physician review
- Verify all medication dosages and instructions
- Confirm follow-up appointments with hospital scheduling system
- Ensure discharge diagnoses match official medical records
- Validate patient identifiers and dates

Limitations
- Does not access live EMR systems (requires manual data input)
- Medication interactions not validated
- Does not generate ICD-10 codes automatically
- Requires structured input data
- Output format must align with institutional requirements
Risk Assessment
| Risk Indicator | Assessment | Level |
|---|---|---|
| Code Execution | Python/R scripts executed locally | Medium |
| Network Access | No external API calls | Low |
| File System Access | Read input files, write output files | Medium |
| Instruction Tampering | Standard prompt guidelines | Low |
| Data Exposure | Output files saved to workspace | Low |
Security Checklist
- No hardcoded credentials or API keys
- No unauthorized file system access (../)
- Output does not expose sensitive information
- Prompt injection protections in place
- Input file paths validated (no ../ traversal)
- Output directory restricted to workspace
- Script execution in sandboxed environment
- Error messages sanitized (no stack traces exposed)
- Dependencies audited
Prerequisites
No additional Python packages required.

Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it claims, but before installing or running it consider: 1) This processes protected health information—run only in a secure, access-controlled environment and ensure compliance with your institution's privacy policies (HIPAA/GDPR equivalents). 2) The script reads the input JSON and writes output files in the workspace; verify output paths and restrict who can access the workspace to avoid PHI leakage. 3) SKILL.md's security checklist suggests input path validation and sandboxing, but the included script does not enforce path traversal checks—avoid passing untrusted paths and consider running in a sandbox/container. 4) Always require physician review of generated summaries (the skill itself does not validate clinical correctness or drug interactions). 5) If you need stricter guarantees, inspect/modify the script to add explicit input validation, logging controls, and an allowlist for output directories before deployment. 6) If institutional integration (EMR, scheduling) is required later, expect additional credentials and network safeguards to be necessary.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: discharge-summary-writer
Version: 0.1.0
The discharge-summary-writer skill is a legitimate utility designed to generate medical discharge summaries from structured JSON input. The core logic in scripts/main.py is a straightforward template engine that performs basic data validation and string formatting without any network calls, external dependencies, or high-risk execution patterns (like eval or subprocess). The documentation in SKILL.md and the reference files (e.g., section_guidelines.md) provide comprehensive safety warnings and clinical guidelines, emphasizing the necessity of physician review and data accuracy.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (discharge summary generation) match the included artifacts: SKILL.md, templates, example input, and a Python script that reads a JSON patient file and writes a summary. No unrelated environment variables, binaries, or cloud creds are requested.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are narrowly scoped (run scripts/main.py with a local JSON input). SKILL.md includes a security checklist item requiring input path validation (no ../ traversal) and sandboxing, but the provided scripts/main.py does not implement explicit path traversal or sandbox checks— it directly opens the supplied input path and writes output to the specified path. The code also prints and writes generated summaries to workspace storage (PHI exposure risk) as expected for the task.
Install Mechanism
No install spec; this is an instruction-only skill plus a local Python script that uses only the standard library. No network downloads or external package installation are required.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. The data the skill processes is patient data provided by the user; that is appropriate for the stated purpose. The only notable requirement is that it will read files and write output to the agent's workspace, which is proportional but carries PHI handling implications.
Persistence & Privilege
Skill is not always-on, does not request elevated platform privileges, and does not modify agent/system-wide settings. Autonomous invocation is allowed by default (normal), but there is no indication this skill requires permanent presence or other unusual privileges.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install discharge-summary-writer - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/discharge-summary-writer - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
