Best Claude skills for healthcare and medical software in 2026

Helps users discover and install agent skills when they ask questions like "how do I do X", "find a skill for X", "is there a skill that can...", or express interest in extending capabilities. This skill should be used when the user is looking for functionality that might exist as an installable skill.

Generates or debugs spec-correct CQL (Clinical Quality Language / FHIR R4) per the HL7 Clinical Reasoning architecture — FHIRHelpers-based, validated through a compile-to-ELM loop and cross-checked against the Alphora reference engine, optionally packaged as a FHIR Library resource. User-invoked only — say "use cql-helper" or type /cql-helper.

Extract text and tables from PDF files, fill forms, merge documents. Use when working with PDF files or when the user mentions PDFs, forms, or document extraction.

Query 14+ biomedical databases for drug repurposing, target discovery, clinical trials, and literature research. Access ChEMBL, PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, OpenTargets, OpenFDA, OMIM, Reactome, KEGG, UniProt, and more through a unified MCP endpoint. Use when researching disease targets, finding approved/investigational drugs, searching clinical evidence, discovering genetic associations, or analyzing compound bioactivity data.

Create publication-quality scientific diagrams using Nano Banana 2 AI with smart iterative refinement. Uses Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview for quality review. Only regenerates if quality is below threshold for your document type. Specialized in neural network architectures, system diagrams, flowcharts, biological pathways, and complex scientific visualizations.

Use when implementing any feature or bugfix, before writing implementation code

Create publication figures with matplotlib/seaborn/plotly. Multi-panel layouts, error bars, significance markers, colorblind-safe, export PDF/EPS/TIFF, for journal-ready scientific plots.

Production-ready PDF processing with forms, tables, OCR, validation, and batch operations. Use when working with complex PDF workflows in production environments, processing large volumes of PDFs, or requiring robust error handling and validation.

Core skill for the deep research and writing tool. Write scientific manuscripts in full paragraphs (never bullet points). Use two-stage process: (1) create section outlines with key points using research-lookup, (2) convert to flowing prose. IMRAD structure, citations (APA/AMA/Vancouver), figures/tables, reporting guidelines (CONSORT/STROBE/PRISMA), for research papers and journal submissions.

Use when encountering any bug, test failure, or unexpected behavior, before proposing fixes
