# Pharmacovigilance Guide A skill for computational pharmacovigilance research, covering adverse drug event (ADE) databases, signal detection algorithms, disproportionality analysis, and safety surveillance methods used in post-market drug monitoring. ## Adverse Event Data Sources ### Key Databases | Database | Operator | Coverage | Access | |----------|----------|----------|--------| | FAERS (FDA Adverse Event Reporting System) | FDA | US spontaneous reports | Free quarterly downloads | | EudraVigilance | EMA | European reports | Research access via application | | VigiBase | WHO-UMC | Global (150+ countries) | Research license | | VAERS | CDC/FDA | US vaccine adverse events | Free download | | MAUDE | FDA | Medical device reports | Free download | ### Loading FAERS Data ```python import pandas as pd import zipfile import os def load_faers_quarter(data_dir: str, year: int, quarter: int) -> dict: """ Load FAERS quarterly data files into DataFrames.

What does the pharmacovigilance-guide skill do?
Adverse drug event detection, safety signal mining, and drug monitoring
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill pharmacovigilance-guide --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 brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills, a repository with 3,244 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.
