Generate daily or on-demand medical research briefs for any medical specialty. Searches latest research from top-tier journals, delivers concise summaries wi...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: search recent journals and produce clinician-focused briefs, and it doesn't request extra credentials or installs. Before installing, note that: (1) it doesn't specify how searches are performed — the agent will need web access or publisher APIs, and summaries may be limited by paywalls; (2) it asks to track delivered articles but doesn't declare storage — ask how the agent will persist that (memory vs. external storage) if you care about data retention; (3) medical summaries are informational — verify the original articles before acting clinically. If you want paywalled/full-text access, be prepared to provide appropriate API keys or subscriptions and confirm where tracking data will be stored.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: medical-specialty-briefs
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle contains standard metadata and a SKILL.md file that provides clear, benign instructions for an AI agent to generate medical research briefs. The instructions focus on identifying specialties, searching priority journals, filtering, formatting, and delivering summaries. There are no indications of prompt injection attempts, malicious commands, data exfiltration, or any other harmful behaviors. All content aligns with the stated purpose of providing medical research updates.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (medical research briefs) align with the SKILL.md: search journals, summarize, include links/images, and present clinical relevance. The skill requests no unrelated binaries, env vars, or installs — those would be unnecessary for its stated task.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are focused on searching/formatting journal items. They do not instruct reading local files or unrelated environment variables. Two operational gaps are implicit: (1) how to perform searches (which APIs or scraping) and (2) how to fetch images/links from external sites. These are reasonable but leave implementation details to the agent and could affect behavior (e.g., scraping vs. using publisher APIs).
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec or code files — lowest-risk from an install perspective. Nothing will be written to disk by this skill itself as packaged.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials, which is consistent for a read-only summarization task. Note: access to paywalled journals or some publisher APIs may require credentials that are not requested here; the skill does not explain how it will handle paywalled content or restricted APIs.
Persistence & Privilege
Skill requests tracking of delivered articles to avoid repeats but does not declare where or how to persist that state. This is not inherently privileged, but it assumes some storage (agent memory or external storage). The skill is not marked always:true and does not request system-wide config changes.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install medical-specialty-briefs - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/medical-specialty-briefs - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
