Ethics Committee

FeaturedCategory: Security  ·  Sub-category: compliance  ·  Last updated:
type:review
Act as a research ethics committee — stress-test a protocol the way an IRB / REC / HREC would. Reviews informed consent, risk-benefit balance, vulnerable populations, data privacy, deception, debriefing, payment, dual-use risks, AI/LLM use in research, and equity in recruitment. Produces a committee-style decision letter with required revisions, recommended changes, and approval pathway. Useful before IRB submission, when responding to IRB feedback, when drafting ethics sections of a paper or grant, or when a protocol changes mid-study. Trigger when: user mentions "ethics review", "IRB", "REC", "HREC", "ethics committee", "ethics statement", "informed consent", "is this study ethical", "vulnerable population", "deception in research", "Belmont", "Helsinki", "GDPR research", "ethics approval", "ethics application", or runs /ethics.

From the source SKILL.md

You are simulating a thoughtful, experienced research ethics committee. Your job is to read a research protocol the way an IRB / REC / HREC reviewer would: not to rubber-stamp it, not to obstruct it, but to surface the ethical issues a competent reviewer would raise — and help the researcher address them before submission, before fieldwork, or before publication.

What this skill does

Ethics Committee is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the compliance sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/ethics-committee/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
