Anwendungsfälle

Praxisnahe Nutzung: medsci-skills

Draft a STROBE-compliant observational study manuscript

👤 Clinical researchers with a cleaned dataset and ready to write ⏱ ~120 min advanced

Wann einsetzen: You have analyses done and need to turn them into a submittable IMRAD manuscript.

Voraussetzungen

Cleaned, de-identified dataset + analysis outputs — Use the de-identification and stats skills first if not done
Skill installed — git clone https://github.com/Aperivue/medsci-skills ~/.claude/skills/medsci-skills

Ablauf

Draft methods and results from outputs

Use medsci-skills. Here are my analysis outputs and study design (retrospective cohort). Draft the Methods and Results sections, STROBE-compliant.✓ Kopiert

→ Full drafts with STROBE item mapping
Run compliance audit

Now audit this manuscript against the STROBE checklist — flag every missing item.✓ Kopiert

→ Table: item / present? / note
Self-review from reviewer perspective

Now critique this manuscript as a reviewer at the target journal would. Be harsh.✓ Kopiert

→ Numbered critique with line-level references

Ergebnis: A manuscript that clears a reporting-guideline audit and has been stress-tested before submission.

Fallstricke

Citations that look right but don't exist — The skill enforces verification — never accept a citation you can't open in PubMed

Kombinieren mit: arxiv · biomcp

Run a PRISMA-compliant systematic review pipeline

👤 Researchers starting a systematic review / meta-analysis ⏱ ~240 min advanced

Wann einsetzen: You're beginning a PRISMA-guided review.

Ablauf

Build search strategy and fetch

Use medsci-skills to design a PRISMA search for '<topic>'. Run it against PubMed and Europe PMC.✓ Kopiert

→ Boolean strategy + hit counts per database
Screen and extract

For the included studies, extract into the meta-analysis pipeline format.✓ Kopiert

→ Structured extraction table
Generate PRISMA flow diagram and forest plot

Now generate the PRISMA diagram and forest plot figures at journal resolution.✓ Kopiert

→ PDF/PNG figures ready to paste

Ergebnis: A compliant SR manuscript scaffold with figures.

Fallstricke

Over-inclusive search returns 10k+ hits — Tighten terms with the skill's query-refinement helper

Kombinieren mit: arxiv

Calculate sample size with an IRB-ready justification paragraph

👤 PIs preparing an ethics submission ⏱ ~15 min intermediate

Wann einsetzen: Before IRB review, when you need the stats justification done right.

Ablauf

Specify effect size, alpha, power

Use medsci-skills sample-size. Design: two-arm RCT. Primary outcome: continuous, expected difference 0.3 SD, alpha 0.05, power 0.8, 1:1 allocation.✓ Kopiert

→ N per arm + the formula + an IRB-ready paragraph

Ergebnis: A justification block you can paste into the protocol.

Draft point-by-point responses to reviewer comments

👤 Authors preparing a revision ⏱ ~45 min intermediate

Wann einsetzen: You got R1 reviews back and need a disciplined response.

Ablauf

Structure the response letter

Here are the reviewer comments. Use medsci-skills to draft a point-by-point response — quote comment, response, revised manuscript location.✓ Kopiert

→ Structured table-like response with line refs

Ergebnis: A cover letter editors will thank you for.

Fallstricke

Agreeing with every comment and weakening the paper — Ask the skill to push back on comments you disagree with, with evidence

Kombinationen

Mit anderen MCPs für 10-fache Wirkung

medsci-skill + arxiv + biomcp

Pull primary literature with verifiable IDs for citations

Use biomcp + medsci-skills literature-search to find RCTs on <topic> from 2020–2025.✓ Kopiert

medsci-skill + filesystem

Keep protocol / manuscript / figures / stats in one versioned folder

Create project structure per medsci-skills conventions and initialize git.✓ Kopiert

Werkzeuge

Was dieses MCP bereitstellt

Werkzeug	Eingaben	Wann aufrufen
literature-search	topic, databases	Start of any research task
sample-size	design, effect size, alpha, power	Protocol writing
deidentify	clinical dataset	Before any data work
stats-code	design, data structure	Analysis phase
manuscript-imrad	outputs, design	Writing phase
compliance-audit	manuscript, guideline (STROBE/PRISMA/…)	Pre-submission
journal-recommender	manuscript	Picking where to submit
reviewer-response	reviews, manuscript	Revision phase

Kosten & Limits

Was der Betrieb kostet

API-Kontingent: None from the skill itself
Tokens pro Aufruf: Large — manuscript drafts run 10–30k tokens
Kosten in €: Free, OSS
Tipp: Draft with a smaller model, polish with Opus — the 2-pass approach halves spend

Sicherheit

Rechte, Secrets, Reichweite

Credential-Speicherung: No credentials stored; any DB API keys (PubMed, etc.) read from env

Datenabfluss: Only to databases you configure — PubMed, arXiv, etc. Never send PHI to external LLMs without de-identification.

Always run deidentify before feeding patient data to the manuscript/stats skills.
Citations must be spot-checked — the skill verifies, but humans sign the paper.

Fehlerbehebung

Häufige Fehler und Lösungen

literature-search returns no results

Broaden terms; the skill defaults to strict Boolean

Compliance audit flags many items as missing

That's expected on a first draft — work through them in order of severity

Alternativen

medsci-skills vs. andere

Alternative	Wann stattdessen	Kompromiss
biomcp	You mainly need biomedical data retrieval without the manuscript layer	Less writing support
arxiv	Pre-prints only	No medical guideline compliance
