A medical-research-native literature reading skill for users with clinical, bioinformatics, translational, and basic experimental backgrounds. Use this skill whenever a user wants to read, analyze, critique, or interpret a medical or scientific paper — whether they provide a PDF, abstract, DOI, PMID, or just a title. Triggers include requests like "analyze this paper", "critique this study", "is this a strong paper?", "give me similar studies", "prepare me for journal club", "help me understand this bioinformatics paper", "what are the weaknesses here?", or "turn this into a mind map". Also activate for any downstream deliverables such as journal club kits, comparison tables, PI decision briefs, replication starters, or follow-up experiment designs. Do NOT treat as a generic summarizer — this skill performs structured evidence-type classification, track-specific critical appraisal, interpretation-boundary judgment, and research-grade follow-up generation.

From the source SKILL.md

A structured literature reading system for medical researchers. Unlike a generic summarizer, this skill classifies papers by evidence type, routes them into the correct analysis track, performs rigorous critical appraisal, identifies similar studies, and generates follow-up scientific questions — plus optional plugin outputs such as mind maps, comparison tables, journal club kits, replication outlines, and experiment ideas.

What this skill does

Medical Research Literature Reader Pro 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/medical-research-literature-reader-pro/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

Who uses this skill

The Medical Research Literature Reader Pro 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 146,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
