Score a discovery-stage target × modality candidate before any clinical PoS exists, decomposing conviction into P(biology holds) × P(modality deliverable) × position-on-arc × competitive-timing, anchored to empirical phase/modality/therapeutic-area base rates rather than management optimism.

From the source SKILL.md

Most early-stage biology is scored on narrative. A founder pitches a "bulletproof" target, a novel modality, a paradigm shift — and the listener's prior quietly drifts toward the optimism in the room. This skill exists to refuse that drift. Drug-development success is mostly priced by a small set of observable, discovery-stage features — therapeutic area, modality maturity, human genetic support, biomarker strategy, orphan status — and the base rates for those features have been stable across fifteen years of meta-analyses. The honest answer at discovery is never "model the cash flows"; it is…

What this skill does

Frontier Conviction Scorer is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the biology-medicine sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/frontier-conviction-scorer/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

Who uses this skill

The Frontier Conviction Scorer Claude Code skill is built for researchers, data scientists, academics, and analysts working with complex data and scientific literature. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 168,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).

Is this skill free to install?
Yes. ClaudSkills is an open registry — every skill keeps its source repository's license, and manual install via copy is free. ClaudSkills Pro ($9/mo, $79/yr, or $149 one-time) adds one-click install via the desktop app and a multi-signal Quality Score.
When should I use the Frontier Conviction Scorer skill?
Use Frontier Conviction Scorer when your Claude Code task falls under the Science & Research category — specifically in the biology medicine area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Frontier Conviction Scorer" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at /category/science/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Frontier Conviction Scorer skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Frontier Conviction Scorer is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Science & Research category.
