Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 1 host that is neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: clinicaltrials.gov.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned microck/ordinary-claude-skills at 1056d293d4.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

This skill provides access to and querying capabilities of the ClinicalTrials.gov database. It allows users to search for clinical trials based on various criteria, retrieve trial details, and extract specific information related to ongoing research studies. The skill can be used to identify relevant trials for patients, researchers, or anyone interested in medical advancements.

When to use it

  • Patient Research: A patient wants to find clinical trials suitable for their condition and location.
  • Researcher Analysis: A researcher needs to gather data on trial protocols, inclusion/exclusion criteria, or study outcomes.
  • Competitive Intelligence: A pharmaceutical company seeks information about competing therapies in development.
  • Medical Information Retrieval: A medical professional requires quick access to details of specific clinical trials.

Key capabilities

  • Search for clinical trials by keyword, condition, location, and other parameters.
  • Retrieve detailed trial information including study design, eligibility criteria, contact information, and results (if available).
  • Filter search results based on various criteria.

Example prompts

  • "Find clinical trials in New York City for Alzheimer's disease."
  • "What are the inclusion/exclusion criteria for a Phase 3 trial of drug X?"
  • “Show me all cancer trials recruiting patients.”

Tips & gotchas

The ClinicalTrials.gov database is extensive; be specific with your search terms to refine results and avoid overwhelming amounts of data. Results may lag behind real-time updates in the database.
