Agent skill

clinical-diagnostic-reasoning

Identify and counteract cognitive biases in medical decision-making through systematic error analysis and contextual algorithm application. For diagnostic reasoning, treatment decisions, and clinical judgment improvement. NOT for basic medical knowledge, technical procedures, or non-clinical healthcare domains.

# Clinical Diagnostic Reasoning Improve diagnostic accuracy and treatment decisions by recognizing and overcoming systematic cognitive errors in clinical thinking. ## When to Use ✅ Use for: - Diagnostic decision-making in clinical practice - Treatment planning and therapeutic choices - Case review and error analysis - Medical education on clinical reasoning - Patient communication and shared decision-making - Quality improvement and patient safety initiatives ❌ NOT for: - Learning basic medical facts or pathophysiology - Technical procedures or surgical skills - Healthcare administration or policy - Non-physician clinical roles without diagnostic responsibility - Population health management without individual patient focus ## Core Process ### Diagnostic Reasoning Flow ``` New patient presentation ↓ ┌───[Gather information through language/history] │ ↓ │ Does presentation suggest standard algorithm? │ ├─ NO → Continue hypothesis generation │ │ ↓ │ │ Develop differential diagnosis │ │ ↓ │ │ [Proceed to bias check] │ │ │ └─ YES → Does patient context match algorithm assumptions? │ ├─ YES → Apply algorithm │ │ ↓ │ │ Monitor outcomes │ │ ↓ │ │ [Proceed to bias check] │ │ │ └─ NO → What

About this skill
What does the clinical-diagnostic-reasoning skill do?

Identify and counteract cognitive biases in medical decision-making through systematic error analysis and contextual algorithm application. For diagnostic reasoning, treatment decisions, and clinical judgment improvement. NOT for basic medical knowledge, technical procedures, or non-clinical healthcare domains.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add FreedomIntelligence/OpenClaw-Medical-Skills --skill clinical-diagnostic-reasoning --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From FreedomIntelligence/OpenClaw-Medical-Skills, a repository with 2,909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
