## AI overview

This post presents 38 open-source agent skills spanning 11 healthcare and life sciences domains. The skills encode domain decision procedures for AI agents, and the reported evaluation found a 70-86% head-to-head win rate over agents without the skills.

## Source excerpt

AI agents on foundation models often misapply healthcare and life sciences decision frameworks, citing the right guideline but applying it incorrectly. This post shares 38 open-source agent skills across 11 HCLS domains that close this gap, with installation steps, three worked use cases, and a 410-prompt evaluation showing a 70-86% win rate.
