Ask for a locally verified clinician-authored record or route the matter to the responsible licensed professional. Do not redirect to another skill to obtain a patient-specific recommendation.\n\nIf a concern may be urgent or emergent, stop this workflow and route it through the institution's current clinical escalation or emergency process. This skill does not decide urgency and does not provide emergency instructions.\n\n## Required visible notice\n\nEvery component and derived schedule must display:\n\n> **DRAFT — NOT MEDICAL ADVICE — DOCUMENTATION-ONLY — AUTHORIZED CLINICIAN SIGN-OFF REQUIRED**\n\nStructural success never removes this notice. Only the authorized local workflow may set the release gate.\n\n## Data gate\n\nPrefer synthetic or qualified de-identified structured manifests. Do not place patient names, medical-record numbers, contact details, dates of birth, addresses, free-text notes, images, or other direct identifiers in examples.\n\nFor any real-patient or patient-derived data:\n\n1. Work only in a locally authorized environment under the institution's current privacy, security, retention, and access policies.\n2. Use the minimum information necessary for the documented purpose, even when a legal exception may apply.\n3. Do not send content to a model, search engine, API, image service, telemetry service, or any other external tool.\n4. Do not copy content into chat prompts, command history, logs, test fixtures, examples, screenshots, or reports.\n5. Run bundled scripts only against local paths. Their reports identify rule codes and field paths, not clinical values.\n6. Require qualified privacy review before treating patient-derived material as de-identified or releasing it.\n\nIf these conditions are not documented, do not read or process the content. Use synthetic templates only.\n\n## Allowed inputs\n\nAccept only bounded UTF-8 JSON objects built from these generic templates:\n\n- `assets/source_fact_manifest_template.json`\n- `assets/clinician_authored_intervention_template.json`\n- `assets/goals_monitoring_checkpoint_template.json`\n- `assets/informed_preference_shared_decision_template.json`\n- `assets/transition_reconciliation_template.json`\n- `assets/intended_use_handoff_template.json`\n\nThe templates contain no disease-specific recommendations, example patients, clinical intervals, doses, targets, thresholds, or inferred care pathways. Empty template arrays and pending attestations are intentional release blockers.\n\n## Workflow\n\n### 1. Establish authority and intended use\n\n- Confirm the accountable clinical owner and authorized licensed signatory.\n- Confirm that every clinical decision already exists in a verified local source.\n- Record jurisdiction, institution, setting, document owner, local policies, retention rule, and intended recipients.\n- Record whether the package is synthetic, qualified de-identified, or real-patient minimum-necessary data.\n- Keep the release gate `blocked` until every required review is complete.\n\nRead `references/safety_scope.md` and `references/privacy_governance.md` before processing patient-derived material.\n\n### 2. Generate a generic package\n\n```bash\npython3 scripts/generate_template.py \\\n  --output-dir ./local-plan-package \\\n  --subject-ref SYNTHETIC-CASE-001 \\\n  --classification synthetic\n```\n\nThe generator copies all six templates. It does not create clinical content and does not overwrite existing files.\n\n### 3. Transcribe supplied decisions without inference\n\n- Copy only clinician-authored facts and interventions from verified local sources.\n- Preserve source locators, versions/dates, author role, verification role, and verification time.\n- Record goals, monitoring items, checkpoint dates, and transition dates exactly as supplied.\n- Record options, benefits, harms, uncertainty, preferences, and the outcome only as documented by the responsible clinician.\n- Leave missing fields unresolved. Never fill them from general knowledge.\n- For medication content, record the clinician-authored text and current local source references; do not interpret or validate it.\n\nSee `references/documentation_workflow.md`, `references/source_boundaries.md`, and `references/shared_decision_handoff.md`.\n\n### 4. Run deterministic local checks\n\nFrom the skill directory:\n\n```bash\npython3 scripts/validate_treatment_plan.py ./local-plan-package\npython3 scripts/validate_traceability.py ./local-plan-package\npython3 scripts/check_completeness.py ./local-plan-package\npython3 scripts/privacy_process_check.py ./local-plan-package\npython3 scripts/check_consistency.py ./local-plan-package\npython3 scripts/timeline_generator.py ./local-plan-package \\\n  --output ./local-plan-package/explicit-date-schedule.json\n```\n\nThe scripts:\n\n- reject non-local paths, symlinks, duplicate JSON keys, unknown fields, oversized inputs, excessive nesting, and unbounded collections;\n- never use network access, environment variables, dynamic execution, pickle, subprocesses, images, or LLMs;\n- never assess diagnosis, medication safety, interactions, contraindications, clinical appropriateness, urgency, prognosis, or guideline concordance;\n- schedule only dates already supplied in the package and never derive recurrence or clinical intervals;\n- minimize reports to counts, rule codes, document types, and field paths.\n\n### 5. Human review and release\n\nRequire the accountable authorized team to:\n\n- compare every transcribed item with its signed source;\n- perform medication reconciliation and all clinical checks in approved systems;\n- verify current FDA labeling, Medication Guide, REMS materials, and local formulary/policy when applicable;\n- resolve every discrepancy and missing item;\n- review shared-decision and informed-preference documentation;\n- review transition recipients, ownership, pending results, and local escalation routing;\n- complete privacy, security, legal, regulatory, records, and institutional review as applicable;\n- sign, date, and release through the authorized record system.\n\nThe final handoff must retain provenance and unresolved-item routing. A script pass is not authorization to use the package for care.\n\n## Source boundaries\n\n- Use FDA labeling databases, current Medication Guides, and REMS materials as authoritative source records only when an authorized clinician or pharmacist verifies applicability. This skill does not interpret them.\n- Use WHO or Joint Commission transition guidance only for process structure such as information transfer, reconciliation documentation, ownership, and checklists.\n- Use AHRQ, NICE, or applicable professional guidance to document that shared decision-making occurred; do not generate options or risk estimates.\n- Apply CMS documentation requirements only when the exact program, provider type, jurisdiction, and current local policy are confirmed.\n- Route safety events, product reports, privacy incidents, and other reportable matters through current local governance. This skill records a route; it does not submit reports.\n\nSee `references/source_ledger.md` for the dated official-source ledger.\n\n## Verification\n\n```bash\nPYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 python3 -m unittest discover \\\n  -s tests/treatment-plans -p 'test_*.py' -v\n```\n\nRun AST parsing without bytecode:\n\n```bash\nPYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 python3 -c \\\n  \"import ast,pathlib; [ast.parse(p.read_text()) for p in pathlib.Path('scripts').glob('*.py')]\"\n```\n\n## Reference map\n\n- `references/README.md` — scope and navigation\n- `references/safety_scope.md` — refusal, routing, and release boundaries\n- `references/privacy_governance.md` — local handling and de-identification limits\n- `references/documentation_workflow.md` — package lifecycle and review gates\n- `references/source_boundaries.md` — FDA labeling, REMS, and governance boundaries\n- `references/shared_decision_handoff.md` — informed preferences, reconciliation, and transitions\n- `references/source_ledger.md` — dated authoritative sources\n- `references/security_validation.md` — baseline findings and validation record\n\n## Citing Scientific Agent Skills\n\nThis skill is part of Scientific Agent Skills by K-Dense.

They do not contain disease-specific treatment guidance and do not authorize clinical use.\n\nRead in this order:\n\n1. `safety_scope.md` — hard boundary, refusal rules, emergency routing, and accountable roles.\n2. `privacy_governance.md` — local-only handling, minimum-necessary practice, de-identification limits, and report minimization.\n3. `documentation_workflow.md` — package lifecycle, deterministic checks, sign-off, and release gates.\n4. `source_boundaries.md` — FDA labeling, Medication Guide, REMS, CMS, and official reporting boundaries.\n5. `shared_decision_handoff.md` — shared-decision records, transitions, reconciliation, and ownership.\n6. `source_ledger.md` — authoritative sources reviewed on 2026-07-23.\n7. `security_validation.md` — baseline security findings and post-redesign validation.\n\n## Governing rule\n\nOnly format information already supplied and verified by authorized licensed professionals. Missing or conflicting clinical content remains unresolved and is routed back to the responsible professional.\n\nThe bundled scripts perform structural, traceability, completeness, privacy-process, date, and consistency checks. They do not establish clinical correctness, medical necessity, safety, effectiveness, regulatory status, legal compliance, privacy compliance, or fitness for care.\n\n## references/documentation_workflow.md (verbatim)\n\n# Documentation Package Workflow\n\nLast reviewed: **2026-07-23**\n\n## Package contract\n\nA complete package contains exactly one JSON object for each document type:\n\n- `source_fact_manifest`\n- `clinician_authored_intervention_record`\n- `goals_monitoring_checkpoint_record`\n- `informed_preference_shared_decision_record`\n- `transition_reconciliation_record`\n- `intended_use_handoff_record`\n\nAll six must use schema version `2.0` and the same `subject_ref`, `data_classification`, draft status, and notice.\n\n## 1. Intended-use gate\n\nComplete the intended-use/handoff record first:\n\n- purpose and authorized users;\n- local setting and accountable roles;\n- prohibited-use list;\n- privacy and processing attestations;\n- local policy, retention, change-control, and reporting routes;\n- local emergency-process reference;\n- handoff sender, recipient, and acknowledgment;\n- clinician sign-off and documentation-handoff release gate.\n\nDo not remove prohibited uses. The generator restores the complete list in every new package.\n\n## 2. Source-fact manifest\n\nEvery clinical or process statement used elsewhere must have a source fact. A fact records:\n\n- a stable fact ID;\n- fact kind;\n- the exact bounded statement supplied;\n- source type, title, local locator, and version/date;\n- verification status, verifier role, and time;\n- applicability status when an official source or policy is involved.\n\nAllowed source categories distinguish signed local records, authorized EHR records, current FDA labeling, current REMS materials, current official guidance, and local policy.\n\nThe manifest does not decide which source applies. An authorized professional must confirm applicability.\n\n## 3. Clinician-authored interventions\n\nEach intervention record must:\n\n- state that the decision was supplied and verified by an authorized licensed professional;\n- preserve the clinician-authored action without rewriting it into a recommendation;\n- link to at least one verified source fact;\n- record parameters only as supplied;\n- identify the responsible role;\n- preserve explicit start/end dates when supplied;\n- include verifier role and time.\n\nThe validator checks structure and provenance only. It does not parse or judge a medication, procedure, therapy, device, referral, or instruction.\n\n## 4. Goals, monitoring, and checkpoints\n\nSeparate:\n\n- goals — statement, measurement, target, target date, and source facts;\n- monitoring items — item, method, supplied frequency text, explicit next due date, owner, and source facts;\n- checkpoints — exact supplied date, purpose, owner, linked records, and source facts.\n\nDo not convert a narrative frequency into dates. Do not infer a checkpoint from a target, medication, intervention type, standard interval, or prior appointment.\n\n## 5. Informed preferences and shared decisions\n\nRecord only what the authorized clinician documented:\n\n- decision topic;\n- options actually presented;\n- whether benefits, harms, and uncertainty were documented;\n- the person's stated preference;\n- the clinician-documented outcome;\n- participant and author roles;\n- source facts, time, and acknowledgment status.\n\nDo not generate missing options, risk estimates, benefit claims, alternatives, or consent language.\n\n## 6. Transition and reconciliation\n\nRecord:\n\n- sending and receiving settings and roles;\n- exact handoff date;\n- medication-reconciliation status;\n- source and destination list fact references;\n- discrepancy status and authorized reviewer;\n- handoff items, owners, recipients, and acknowledgment;\n- unresolved items and their local route.\n\n`completed_by_authorized_clinician` is a declaration to be verified against the local record. The script does not perform reconciliation.\n\n## 7. Deterministic checks\n\nRun in this order:\n\n```bash\npython3 scripts/validate_treatment_plan.py PACKAGE_DIRECTORY\npython3 scripts/validate_traceability.py PACKAGE_DIRECTORY\npython3 scripts/check_completeness.py PACKAGE_DIRECTORY\npython3 scripts/privacy_process_check.py PACKAGE_DIRECTORY\npython3 scripts/check_consistency.py PACKAGE_DIRECTORY\npython3 scripts/timeline_generator.py PACKAGE_DIRECTORY --output SCHEDULE.json\n```\n\nThe checks answer different questions:\n\n- structural validator — are document types, fields, types, enums, bounds, and dates valid?\n- traceability validator — do all clinical/process records point to existing verified facts?\n- completeness checker — are required records, reviews, routes, acknowledgments, sign-off, and release declarations complete?\n- privacy/process checker — are local authorization, minimization, external-tool prohibition, qualified review, retention, and direct-identifier safeguards documented?\n- consistency checker — do package IDs, statuses, classifications, references, and explicit date order agree?\n- timeline generator — what events occur on dates already supplied?\n\nRun every check again after any change.\n\n## 8. Minimized issue handling\n\nReports use field paths, not values. For example, a report may identify `interventions[0].verification.status` without printing the action text.\n\nResolve each issue in the authoritative local record:\n\n1. Locate the field path.\n2. Compare with the signed source.\n3. Ask the responsible authorized role to supply or verify the missing value.\n4. Update provenance.\n5. Re-run all checks.\n\nNever correct clinical content from memory or general guidance.\n\n## 9. Sign-off and handoff\n\nBefore releasing for authorized documentation handoff:\n\n- all source facts are verified;\n- source applicability is confirmed where required;\n- interventions are verified;\n- reconciliation is completed or explicitly not applicable by an authorized reviewer;\n- unresolved items are routed and acknowledged;\n- privacy/process review is complete;\n- local policy and reporting routes are populated;\n- the recipient is identified;\n- the authorized licensed signer completes the attestation;\n- the release gate is set to `released_for_authorized_documentation_handoff`;\n- blocker codes are empty.\n\nThe visible draft/not-medical-advice notice remains. Release does not authorize implementation by an agent.\n\n## 10. Change control\n\nFor every revision:\n\n- preserve the prior authorized version according to local records policy;\n- update source versions and verification times;\n- re-run every check;\n- obtain new sign-off when clinical content, recipient, classification, purpose, or governing source changes;\n- record disposition of superseded local copies;\n- never overwrite a source record or silently reuse an old approval.\n\n## references/privacy_governance.md (verbatim)\n\n# Privacy and Data Governance\n\nLast reviewed: **2026-07-23**\n\n## No compliance claim\n\nPassing a template or script does not establish de-identification, HIPAA compliance, authorization, lawful disclosure, security, or appropriate retention. Those determinations belong to qualified local privacy, security, legal, and records personnel.\n\n## Data classes\n\nUse exactly one package-wide classification:\n\n- `synthetic` — invented records with no relationship to a real person.\n- `deidentified_qualified_review` — patient-derived information that a qualified reviewer has approved under the applicable method and context.\n- `real_patient_minimum_necessary` — identifiable or potentially identifiable data handled only in an authorized local environment.\n\nNever relabel real data as synthetic. Hashing, pseudonymization, redaction of obvious fields, using a patient code, or removing direct identifiers does not by itself make data de-identified.\n\n## HHS de-identification boundary\n\nHHS describes two HIPAA Privacy Rule methods:\n\n1. **Expert Determination** — a qualified expert determines that re-identification risk is very small and documents methods and results.\n2. **Safe Harbor** — specified identifiers are removed and the covered entity lacks actual knowledge that remaining information could identify an individual.\n\nThis skill performs neither method. Free text, dates, geography, rare combinations, longitudinal patterns, and other contextual information can retain identification risk. HHS specifically notes that clinical narratives are information-rich and may allow identification.\n\nFor patient-derived material:\n\n- document which method and policy were applied;\n- record the qualified reviewer's role, review date, scope, assumptions, and expiration or re-review condition;\n- keep the determination and supporting analysis in the authorized local system;\n- re-review after material data, recipient, linkage, technology, or purpose changes;\n- treat uncertainty as a release blocker.\n\nDo not place a de-identification analysis or patient-derived examples in this repository.\n\n## Minimum-necessary handling\n\nHHS states that the HIPAA minimum necessary standard generally requires reasonable steps to limit uses, disclosures, and requests for protected health information, while identifying exceptions including disclosures to or requests by a healthcare provider for treatment.\n\nThis skill does not decide whether an exception applies. As a conservative process safeguard, always minimize what enters the package and follow the institution's current role-based access and disclosure policies.\n\nRecord:\n\n- the specific documentation purpose;\n- authorized users and recipient;\n- required data categories;\n- excluded data categories;\n- local authorization and environment references;\n- retention and disposition requirements;\n- who approved any exception or broader access.\n\n## Real-patient gate\n\nBefore any real-patient package is opened:\n\n1. Confirm local authorization and an approved environment.\n2. Confirm the accountable clinical and privacy owners.\n3. Confirm the minimum-necessary field set and intended recipient.\n4. Confirm no external service, model, API, search, telemetry, image, or cloud-processing step will receive content.\n5. Confirm content will not be copied into prompts, logs, examples, tests, screenshots, issue reports, or commit messages.\n6. Confirm retention, deletion, access, and incident-response rules.\n7. Run only local standard-library scripts against file paths.\n\nIf any confirmation is absent, use synthetic templates and stop before reading values.\n\n## Structured-data preference\n\nPrefer discrete identifiers, enums, dates, booleans, role labels, and source references. Use bounded clinician-authored text only where exact transcription is necessary.\n\nAvoid:\n\n- copied progress notes, discharge narratives, portal messages, or full record exports;\n- names, addresses, contact information, dates of birth, medical-record numbers, account numbers, images, biometrics, or device identifiers;\n- exact free-text descriptions when a structured status or local record locator is sufficient;\n- patient details in filenames or directory names.\n\nThe generic `subject_ref` must be a locally controlled pseudonymous reference. It is not proof of de-identification.\n\n## Report minimization\n\nBundled scripts must not echo clinical values. Reports are limited to:\n\n- rule codes;\n- pass/fail status;\n- document types;\n- field paths;\n- counts;\n- nonclinical dates already needed for a schedule;\n- local filenames without parent-directory expansion.\n\nDo not run scripts with shell tracing. Do not redirect reports to shared logs. Review local command history policies before working with sensitive paths.\n\n## Local path controls\n\nThe scripts:\n\n- reject URL-like input paths and network-share syntax;\n- reject symlink inputs and outputs;\n- accept only bounded regular UTF-8 JSON files;\n- reject duplicate keys, excessive nesting, oversized text, excessive records, and unknown fields;\n- create private outputs without implicit overwrite;\n- do not inspect environment variables or credential files.\n\nThese are defense-in-depth controls, not privacy determinations.\n\n## Incident routing\n\nIf accidental disclosure, unauthorized access, or suspected mishandling occurs:\n\n- stop processing;\n- preserve only what local policy requires;\n- use the institution's current privacy/security incident route;\n- do not investigate by copying content into another tool;\n- do not decide whether an event is reportable;\n- record the responsible role and local case/reference number only after authorization.\n\nHHS OCR breach reporting sources are listed in `source_ledger.md`. The skill does not file reports.\n\n## references/safety_scope.md (verbatim)\n\n# Safety, Scope, and Routing\n\nLast reviewed: **2026-07-23**\n\n## Purpose\n\nThis skill is a transcription, formatting, provenance, and process-validation aid. It accepts clinical decisions only after an authorized licensed professional has made and verified them in a current local source.\n\nThe skill is not a clinical decision-support system, medical device, prescribing tool, medication checker, triage service, or patient education service.\n\n## Prohibited functions\n\nDo not:\n\n- identify or infer a diagnosis, differential, severity, stage, risk class, or eligibility;\n- propose, compare, rank, select, substitute, or optimize a treatment;\n- generate medication names, doses, routes, frequencies, durations, start dates, stop dates, hold criteria, titration steps, or taper schedules;\n- judge an interaction, allergy, contraindication, precaution, organ-function issue, pregnancy issue, or formulary suitability;\n- generate a monitoring parameter, target, threshold, interval, follow-up frequency, or escalation criterion;\n- interpret a symptom, test, image, score, trend, medication list, adverse event, or patient preference;\n- determine urgency, triage disposition, emergency status, prognosis, expected response, or likely outcome;\n- create patient-specific instructions, education, warning signs, crisis plans, or emergency actions;\n- recommend a specialist, setting, service level, procedure, device, or referral;\n- certify compliance, clinical completeness, standard of care, informed consent, capacity, or professional scope.\n\nFormatting a supplied decision does not validate it. A citation does not make a decision current or applicable.\n\n## Request handling\n\nProceed only when the request is equivalent to:\n\n- \"Place these already signed clinician decisions into the generic records.\"\n- \"Check whether this local JSON package has the required fields.\"\n- \"Verify that every record points to a verified source fact.\"\n- \"List checkpoints on the exact dates already provided.\"\n- \"Identify missing acknowledgments or sign-off fields without suggesting clinical content.\"\n\nStop and route when the request asks:\n\n- \"What should the plan be?\"\n- \"What treatment, medication, dose, or schedule is best?\"\n- \"Should this be started, stopped, held, resumed, increased, reduced, or tapered?\"\n- \"Are these medicines safe together or contraindicated?\"\n- \"Is this urgent, an emergency, or likely to worsen?\"\n- \"What should the patient do now?\"\n\nDo not soften a prohibited request into a recommendation-shaped template. Do not ask another skill, model, search tool, or API to make the decision.\n\n## Missing or conflicting content\n\nWhen a required clinical field is missing:\n\n1. Leave it empty or mark the record pending.\n2. Record a nonclinical blocker code and field path.\n3. Route it to the responsible authorized professional.\n4. Do not infer a value from neighboring records, standard practice, prior examples, a product label, or a guideline.\n\nWhen sources conflict, record the conflict without deciding which source controls. The authorized local team must reconcile it in an approved system.\n\n## Emergency and escalation boundary\n\nUse this exact process statement:\n\n> If a concern may be urgent or emergent, stop this documentation workflow and use the institution's current clinical escalation or emergency process; this package does not determine urgency or provide emergency instructions.\n\nThe package records only the local process reference and responsible role. It must not include generated symptom thresholds, emergency numbers, destinations, or action steps. Current institution-approved material may be linked by a local reference after authorized review.\n\n## Accountable roles\n\nAt minimum, identify:\n\n- clinical owner — owns clinical decisions and conflict resolution;\n- authorized licensed verifier — compares transcribed content with current sources;\n- medication-reconciliation owner — performs reconciliation in approved systems;\n- privacy reviewer — reviews patient-derived data handling and de-identification claims;\n- records/governance owner — controls retention, access, versioning, and release;\n- handoff sender and recipient — own transfer and acknowledgment;\n- local reporting owner — determines whether and where an event must be reported.\n\nOne person may hold multiple roles only if local policy permits it. A script can verify that roles are named; it cannot verify competence, licensure, authority, independence, or completion.\n\n## Release boundary\n\nThe documentation package remains visibly marked:\n\n> **DRAFT — NOT MEDICAL ADVICE — DOCUMENTATION-ONLY — AUTHORIZED CLINICIAN SIGN-OFF REQUIRED**\n\nRelease means only that the package may enter the authorized documentation handoff named in the manifest. It does not turn the package into stand-alone medical advice or authorize an agent to implement care.\n\nBlock release when any of these remain:\n\n- unverified facts or interventions;\n- missing source links;\n- unresolved discrepancies not routed to an owner;\n- absent shared-decision documentation when required by the local workflow;\n- incomplete reconciliation;\n- missing privacy/process attestations;\n- missing current local policy or labeling verification;\n- missing handoff recipient or acknowledgment;\n- unsigned clinician attestation;\n- inconsistent subject reference, classification, status, or dates.\n\n## references/security_validation.md (verbatim)\n\n# Security Validation Record\n\nValidation date: **2026-07-23**\n\n## Baseline\n\nThe repository `SECURITY.md` entry recorded **11 findings** with maximum severity **CRITICAL**:\n\n- three CRITICAL cross-file/environment/network exfiltration findings;\n- one HIGH API-key transmission finding;\n- five MEDIUM findings involving environment harvesting, command chaining, and mandatory external-tool behavior;\n- two LOW findings involving unsafe template content and unpinned dependencies.\n\nThe affected files included the former `generate_schematic.py`, `generate_schematic_ai.py`, `SKILL.md`, and `medical_treatment_plan.sty`.\n\n## Remediation\n\n- Deleted both schematic-generation scripts.\n- Removed network requests, API keys, environment access, `.env` loading, subprocesses, external models, image generation, and cross-skill calls.\n- Deleted the hardcoded LaTeX style and all specialty templates containing clinical treatment content.\n- Replaced them with generic, fail-closed JSON records.\n- Rebuilt every remaining script as a dependency-free, bounded, deterministic local JSON helper.\n- Added strict duplicate-key, schema, unknown-field, collection, depth, path, symlink, and output controls.\n- Added minimized reports that do not echo clinician-authored content.\n- Added AST tests prohibiting network libraries, dynamic execution, executable serialization, subprocesses, and environment access.\n\n## Validation results\n\n- Agent Skills reference validator: **PASS**\n- Dependency-free CLI help checks: **PASS**\n- Synthetic standard-library tests: **21 passed**\n- Explicit AST parse with bytecode disabled: **8 scripts parsed**\n- Bytecode artifacts after cleanup: **0**\n- IDE lints: **0**\n- Documented local-path check: **PASS**\n- External source links: **PASS** (HTTP 403 from HHS/AHRQ is access control; REMS@FDA returned HTTP 200 with a browser user agent)\n- Direct behavioral security scan: **SAFE, 0 findings**\n- Pull-request gate with `--fail-on HIGH`: **PASS**\n  - CRITICAL: 0\n  - HIGH: 0\n  - LOW: 2\n\nThe first direct scan reported a CRITICAL test-only false positive because the synthetic AST test contained literal names for dynamic-execution functions and used a subprocess to exercise `--help`. The help test was changed to call each parser directly and the prohibited names were constructed without executable references. The final direct scan is clean.\n\n## Residual LOW findings\n\nThe LLM-assisted pull-request scan reported:\n\n1. **Missing `allowed-tools` declaration** — informational. The field is optional. The compatibility statement and body explicitly limit bundled tools to local standard-library JSON processing, and the direct behavioral scan confirms no network, credential, process, model, or image behavior.\n2. **Invented missing-file variants** — scanner false positive. It claimed files under `templates/` and swapped `assets/` and `references/` paths that do not appear in the skill. The deterministic documented-local-path test resolves every actual local path and passes.\n\nNeither LOW finding permits data transmission or clinical decision-making. No actual CRITICAL or HIGH finding remains. The repository-level `SECURITY.md` is intentionally not edited in this scoped refresh; its generated snapshot will update through the repository's normal process.\n\n## Reproduction\n\n```bash\nPYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 python3 -m unittest discover \\\n  -s tests/treatment-plans -p 'test_*.py' -v\n\nuv run skills-ref validate skills/treatment-plans\n\nuv run skill-scanner scan skills/treatment-plans --use-behavioral\n\nuv run python scan_pr_skills.py \\\n  --fail-on HIGH \\\n  --output /tmp/treatment-plans-pr-scan.md \\\n  skills/treatment-plans\n```\n\n## references/shared_decision_handoff.md (verbatim)\n\n# Shared Decisions, Informed Preferences, and Handoffs\n\nLast reviewed: **2026-07-23**\n\n## Documentation-only role\n\nAHRQ describes shared decision-making as a clinician-led process that explores options, benefits, harms, risks, and what matters to the person. NICE similarly describes healthcare professionals and people working together on treatment and care decisions and communicating risks, benefits, and consequences.\n\nThis skill records that process after it occurred. It does not conduct the conversation, generate options, quantify risks, assess capacity, obtain consent, or decide the outcome.\n\n## Shared-decision record\n\nFor each decision, the authorized clinician supplies:\n\n- the decision topic;\n- options actually presented;\n- source facts for each option;\n- whether benefits, harms, and uncertainty were discussed;\n- the preference as documented;\n- the agreed or clinician-recorded outcome;\n- participant roles;\n- author role and time;\n- acknowledgment status.\n\nUse the person's words only when necessary and permitted. Prefer a bounded structured summary over copied narrative.\n\nDo not:\n\n- add an option the clinician did not document;\n- characterize an option as preferred, safer, better, first-line, standard, or equivalent;\n- calculate or restate probabilities;\n- infer preference from adherence, demographics, prior care, or silence;\n- treat a checked box as proof of understanding, voluntariness, capacity, or informed consent;\n- create a consent form or legal attestation.\n\n## Informed preference versus informed consent\n\nThe template documents an informed preference and shared-decision process. It does not replace:\n\n- jurisdiction-specific informed-consent requirements;\n- procedure- or product-specific consent;\n- capacity evaluation;\n- surrogate or guardian authority review;\n- language-access or accessibility requirements;\n- research consent;\n- local refusal or declination documentation.\n\nThe authorized local team decides which separate records are required.\n\n## Communication quality\n\nThe record may note whether the clinician documented:\n\n- benefits, harms, and material uncertainty;\n- alternatives, including no action, when actually discussed;\n- questions and responses;\n- language, interpreter, communication, or accessibility support;\n- decision aid identity and version;\n- need for revisiting the decision.\n\nDo not infer quality from presence alone. Do not score the conversation.\n\n## Transition handoff\n\nWHO transition guidance supports timely, accurate information transfer, medication reconciliation, patient/carer involvement, clear ownership, standardized processes, checklists, and tracking.\n\nA handoff record should identify:\n\n- sending and receiving settings and responsible roles;\n- exact handoff date supplied by the clinical team;\n- source records and their versions;\n- interventions, goals, monitoring, checkpoints, and pending results that were actually supplied;\n- ownership of each item;\n- reconciliation status;\n- unresolved items and route;\n- sender and recipient acknowledgment;\n- local follow-up and escalation references.\n\nThe skill does not decide which clinical items are important enough to hand off. The responsible clinicians do.\n\n## Medication reconciliation boundary\n\nMedication reconciliation is a clinical process, not a list-diff script. The authorized team must obtain and compare the relevant lists, make clinical decisions about discrepancies, communicate the result, and document completion in approved systems.\n\nThis package may record:\n\n- source-list fact IDs;\n- destination-list fact IDs;\n- `pending_authorized_review`, `completed_by_authorized_clinician`, or `not_applicable`;\n- discrepancy status;\n- reviewer role and completion time.\n\nIt must not:\n\n- parse medication text to normalize products;\n- identify duplicates, interactions, contraindications, omissions, or dose differences;\n- decide which list is correct;\n- propose changes;\n- mark reconciliation complete automatically.\n\nIf a discrepancy is detected outside the authorized clinical workflow, leave it unresolved and route it to the named medication-reconciliation owner.\n\n## Pending and unresolved items\n\nEvery unresolved item needs:\n\n- a stable item ID;\n- a bounded description supplied by the local team;\n- source-fact references;\n- responsible local role;\n- route status.\n\nAn item may be `open_routed`, `acknowledged_by_owner`, or `resolved_by_authorized_professional`. The skill never selects the owner or resolution.\n\n## Emergency routing\n\nDo not include generated warning signs, thresholds, destinations, emergency numbers, or instructions.\n\nRecord only:\n\n> If a concern may be urgent or emergent, stop this documentation workflow and use the institution's current clinical escalation or emergency process; this package does not determine urgency or provide emergency instructions.\n\nThe authorized institution supplies and verifies the local process reference.\n\n## Handoff release\n\nBefore authorized documentation handoff:\n\n- source and destination roles are named;\n- all included items link to verified facts;\n- reconciliation status is verified;\n- unresolved items are routed;\n- the recipient acknowledgment is complete;\n- privacy and local governance checks pass;\n- the clinician sign-off is complete;\n- the release gate has no blocker codes.\n\nThese gates document process completion. They do not prove safe care, successful communication, or recipient action.\n\n## references/source_boundaries.md (verbatim)\n\n# Source, Labeling, and Governance Boundaries\n\nLast reviewed: **2026-07-23**\n\n## General source rule\n\nSources support provenance; they do not authorize the agent to make a clinical decision. A current source may still be inapplicable to a specific person, setting, product, formulation, route, indication, jurisdiction, or institution.\n\nOnly an authorized licensed professional may:\n\n- decide whether a source applies;\n- interpret a label, Medication Guide, REMS requirement, guideline, policy, or standard;\n- resolve conflicts among sources;\n- convert source content into a patient-specific decision;\n- determine whether a requirement was satisfied.\n\nThe package stores the professional's verified decision and source locator. It does not reproduce a recommendation from the source.\n\n## FDA prescribing information\n\nFDA's human prescription-drug labeling resources distinguish FDA-approved labeling from other \"current\" or \"in use\" labeling. FDA states that Drugs@FDA contains the most recent CDER-approved Prescribing Information and patient labeling for covered products, while other databases may include company-submitted changes under review.\n\nFor an already selected medication, the authorized clinician or pharmacist must verify, as applicable:\n\n- exact product, application, formulation, route, and strength;\n- current FDA-approved Prescribing Information;\n- current FDA-approved patient labeling;\n- current safety-related labeling changes;\n- local formulary and institutional policy;\n- whether a product is outside the scope of Drugs@FDA and requires another authoritative FDA source.\n\nThis skill records fact IDs and verification. It must not search for a product while processing real-patient content, interpret sections, compare alternatives, or decide dosing, contraindications, interactions, monitoring, or eligibility.\n\n## Medication Guides and patient labeling\n\nFDA-approved patient labeling includes Medication Guides, Patient Package Inserts, and Instructions for Use. FDA notes that not every prescription drug has FDA-approved patient labeling and that consumer medication information developed outside the applicant is not reviewed or approved by FDA.\n\nDo not:\n\n- invent or paraphrase a Medication Guide as patient instructions;\n- assume a generic consumer handout is FDA-approved;\n- omit a required current document based on a template;\n- decide whether a risk changes treatment.\n\nRecord only which current material the authorized clinician or pharmacist verified and where it is held in the local system.\n\n## REMS\n\nREMS are product-specific safety programs. FDA explains that participant roles, communications, required activities, certifications, enrollment, monitoring, and safe-use conditions vary by medication. Current requirements and materials are maintained in REMS@FDA.\n\nThe package may document:\n\n- whether an authorized reviewer checked REMS@FDA;\n- the REMS material version/date and local locator;\n- the participant role and requirement as already verified;\n- completion status recorded by the authorized local process.\n\nThe skill must not decide whether a REMS applies, enroll anyone, certify a prescriber or site, interpret a safe-use condition, or determine whether prescribing or dispensing may proceed.\n\n## WHO and Joint Commission process guidance\n\nWHO transition guidance supports process concepts such as:\n\n- timely and accurate transfer of information;\n- medication reconciliation at transitions;\n- patient and carer involvement;\n- explicit ownership and follow-up;\n- standardized terminology, checklists, and tracking.\n\nJoint Commission materials similarly emphasize reliable identification, handoff communication, and continuity. Use these sources only to structure documentation and local governance.\n\nDo not copy proprietary standards, claim accreditation compliance, or convert process guidance into patient-specific content. The current institution policy controls.\n\n## CMS boundary\n\nCMS publishes person-centered care concepts and program-specific documentation requirements. Requirements vary by program, provider type, setting, state, contract, and date.\n\nDo not treat a CMS innovation concept, job aid, measure, billing rule, or conditions-of-participation excerpt as a universal treatment-plan requirement.\n\nBefore recording a CMS requirement, the authorized compliance owner must identify:\n\n- exact program and authority;\n- current effective version;\n- provider and setting applicability;\n- state or contractor variation;\n- local policy implementation.\n\nThe skill does not support coding, billing-level selection, medical-necessity decisions, or reimbursement claims.\n\n## Local and professional guidance\n\nThe responsible clinician must use:\n\n- current institution-approved clinical guidance;\n- current specialty guidance appropriate to the case;\n- current product-specific information;\n- current jurisdictional and scope-of-practice rules;\n- current professional judgment and approved systems.\n\nThis repository intentionally contains no disease-specific treatment recommendations or specialty schedules. Do not add them to templates, tests, examples, or references.\n\n## Reporting and governance\n\nThe package records local routes; it does not submit reports.\n\nPotential routes may include:\n\n- local patient-safety or quality reporting;\n- local pharmacy/medication-safety review;\n- FDA MedWatch for medical-product events when the responsible reporter determines it applies;\n- privacy/security incident response and HHS OCR breach reporting when qualified personnel determine it applies;\n- AHRQ Common Formats within an authorized Patient Safety Organization workflow.\n\nNever decide reportability, causality, seriousness, legal duty, deadline, recipient, or content. Never transmit patient data from a bundled script.\n\n## Currency control\n\nAt each authorized revision:\n\n1. Verify source currency in an approved workflow.\n2. Record source version or content date.\n3. Record who verified applicability and when.\n4. Preserve the prior local record as policy requires.\n5. Re-run structural and traceability checks.\n6. Obtain new sign-off if a governing source changed.\n\nThe dated ledger in `source_ledger.md` documents the process sources used to design this skill. It is not a substitute for current case-specific review.\n\n## references/source_ledger.md (verbatim)\n\n# Authoritative Source Ledger\n\nResearch and access date: **2026-07-23**\n\nMethod: targeted `parallel-cli search` restricted to official domains, followed by `parallel-cli extract` for canonical pages and documents. No research output files were retained in the repository.\n\nThis ledger supports the skill's documentation and governance design. It is not a clinical evidence review and must not be used to select treatment.\n\n## Privacy and data governance\n\n### HHS OCR — HIPAA de-identification guidance\n\n- URL: https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/special-topics/de-identification/index.html\n- Page date observed: **2026-03-20**\n- Used for: the distinction between Expert Determination and Safe Harbor; required documentation for Expert Determination; Safe Harbor's actual-knowledge condition; risks in free text and clinical narratives.\n- Boundary: the bundled checklist performs neither method and never claims de-identification or HIPAA compliance.\n\n### HHS OCR — Minimum Necessary Requirement\n\n- URL: https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/privacy/guidance/minimum-necessary-requirement/index.html\n- Page date observed: **2026-03-18**\n- Used for: reasonable limitation of uses, disclosures, and requests; role-based policies; routine/non-routine procedures; listed exceptions including treatment-purpose disclosures and requests.\n- Boundary: the skill does not decide whether an exception applies and adopts data minimization as a conservative process safeguard.\n\n### HHS OCR — Breach Notification\n\n- URL: https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/breach-notification/index.html\n- Portal: https://ocrportal.hhs.gov/ocr/breach/breach_report.jsf\n- Accessed: **2026-07-23**\n- Used for: identifying the official privacy-incident reporting authority and preserving a local reporting route.\n- Boundary: the skill does not determine breach status, legal duty, deadline, or report content and does not submit reports.\n\n## FDA labeling and medication-risk programs\n\n### FDA — Human prescription-drug labeling resources\n\n- URL: https://www.fda.gov/drugs/laws-acts-and-rules/fdas-labeling-resources-human-prescription-drugs\n- Content-current date observed: **2026-03-15**\n- Used for: distinguishing FDA-approved labeling in Drugs@FDA from other current/in-use labeling; identifying official labeling and safety-change databases.\n- Boundary: an authorized clinician or pharmacist verifies exact product applicability.
