<a id="what-is-medsci-skills"></a> MedSci Skills is a set of Agent Skills for clinical research: literature and references, study design, statistics, figures, manuscript drafting, reporting-guideline checks and journal submission, plus a lane for building and validating medical-imaging AI models. It is for physicians and biomedical or medical-engineering researchers who work in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or GitHub Copilot. The skills draft and check, bundled scripts recompute what can be recomputed, and every output still needs review by a qualified researcher; it is not a diagnostic tool or an autonomous author.

Installation

It also turns on update reminders and puts an Update MedSci Skills icon on your Desktop. If you have not installed Claude Code, Python or Node yet, the setup guides for Mac and Windows go step by step.

In a terminal, with Node 18+ and Python 3.9+ installed:

npx medsci-skills install

This copies every skill into ~/.claude/skills/ (read by Claude Code, Cursor and Copilot in VS Code) and ~/.agents/skills/ (read by Codex, Cursor and GitHub Copilot). Restart your agent, type /orchestrate, and describe what you want to do; it routes the request to the right skill. To be told when a new version ships, add --enable-update-notify: a one-line notice at Claude Code session start, off by default, no telemetry.

Other ways to install, each described in docs/install.md:

• Claude Code plugin: /plugin marketplace add Aperivue/medsci-skills, then enable the plugins you want; skills are then namespaced, e.g. /medsci-analysis:analyze-stats.
• GitHub CLI 2.90+: gh skill install Aperivue/medsci-skills --all --agent claude-code --scope user, or name a single skill. The two flags put the skills where Claude Code looks; the linked section gives the values for other hosts.
• git: clone the repository and copy skills/* into ~/.claude/skills/.
• A fixed version, for a paper that cites the version it used: npx medsci-skills@6.1.0 install; the plugin and gh equivalents are in docs/install.md.

Updating, what individual skills need (pandoc, R, PyTorch), where the files go and the optional routing block for plain-language requests are on the same page.

Three workflows to start with
