LABSCO SUMMARY
Ten of the sixteen have real descriptions to go on. icd10-cm-skill and procedure-coding assign diagnosis and procedure codes the way a professional coder builds a claim, clinical-note-extract-skill pulls structured fields out of a note with span-level citations, and fhir-developer-skill is pure API reference for building FHIR endpoints yourself — none of these four need anything beyond the conversation. The rest reach outward: fhir connects to a live hospital EHR (Epic, Cerner, MEDITECH, or any SMART-on-FHIR server) and pulls a patient's real chart, clinical-trial-protocol-skill and prior-auth-review-skill lean on the plugin's own hosted MCP servers, and contracts, doc-extract, and fraud-detection work over documents or a claims corpus that has to already be sitting on your local filesystem — the contracts skill's own description says so directly.
This is for payer, provider, or pharma teams working from Anthropic's own healthcare plugin: prior authorization review, FHIR development, and clinical trial protocol drafting are the three the readme actually documents, installed with /plugin marketplace add anthropics/healthcare then /plugin install healthcare@healthcare. The five hosted MCP servers named in the readme — CMS Coverage, ICD-10 Codes, NPI Registry, Clinical Trials, and PubMed — need no separate account or key to reach, since they're wired into the plugin's own .mcp.json; connecting fhir to a real hospital system still means real EHR credentials on your end.
READ THE FULL ANALYSIS
The readme's own table covers three of the sixteen. Its "What's inside" section names only prior-auth, clinical-trial-protocol, and fhir-developer — the other thirteen aren't mentioned by name anywhere in the text we could read, including six that carry no description of their own anywhere in the package: citations, knowledge-harvest, queue-triage, reformulate, sweep, and synthesize. We can't say what triggers them or what they do, only that they're there.
Checked 19 September 2026 against the plugin's 16 current skills and its own readme; the older per-skill v1 plugins (prior-auth-review, fhir-developer, clinical-trial-protocol, cms-coverage, icd10-codes, npi-registry, pubmed) still install as deprecated aliases into this same one.

AGENT PERSONALITIES
3 itemsAGENT PERSONALITY
documents-reader-cli
Internal sweep worker for /contracts in CLI transport — reads one shard of dumped contract text and records findings through the engine binary named in its spawn prompt. No MCP tools and no ToolSearch by design; a discovered server may be a different build with a different schema.
AGENT PERSONALITY
documents-reader-mcp
Internal sweep worker for /contracts — reads one shard of dumped contract text and records findings with verified citations. Do not invoke directly; spawned in parallel by the /contracts sweep step with shard files and a rubric.
AGENT PERSONALITY
note-extract-worker
Isolated extraction worker for clinical-note-extract batch runs. Reads one note from its prompt, returns one structured record.

SETUP
Showing all 10 skills
clinical-note-extract-skill
A doctor's notes are free-flowing text — you name the facts you want out of them, and this fills each one in with the exact sentence it came from, or marks it plainly as not stated.
clinical-trial-protocol-skill
Writes the first draft of the written plan for testing a new drug or medical device on patients, drawing on FDA guidance and trials that have already been run.
contracts
You ask a plain-English question about a folder of contracts and get back a written answer where every fact and number is backed by an exact quote from the document it came from.
doc-extract
Before any of the document-reading skills can work, the file itself has to become text — this is the piece that does that, for PDFs, Word files, spreadsheets, slides and web pages alike.
fhir
You connect to a hospital's electronic health record system, pull a patient's notes and clinical data, and get back structured findings extracted from them.
fhir-developer-skill
Hospitals exchange patient records in a standard format called FHIR; this is the reference a programmer needs to build software that speaks it correctly, with Python and TypeScript examples to copy.
fraud-detection
Combs through a health insurer's Medicare or Medicaid claims for billing patterns that look like fraud, and turns what it finds into referrals an investigations team can act on.
icd10-cm-skill
Every visit to a doctor is billed with standard codes for what was wrong with the patient — this reads the doctor's note and works out which codes belong on that bill, and only those.
prior-auth-review-skill
When a doctor asks an insurer to approve a treatment before it happens, this runs the insurer's side of that review in minutes rather than the half-hour or more it takes by hand.
procedure-coding
An insurance claim has to list every service a visit actually involved, not just the main procedure — this reads the notes and works out the CPT and HCPCS billing code for each one.
No skill in this package matches that.
