--- name: referral-letter-generator description: Generate medical referral letters with patient summary, reason for referral. license: MIT skill-author: AIPOCH --- # Medical Referral Letter Generator A tool for generating professional medical referral letters for healthcare providers. ## When to Use - Use this skill when the task is to Generate medical referral letters with patient summary, reason for referral. - Use this skill for academic writing tasks that require explicit assumptions, bounded scope, and a reproducible output format. - Use this skill when you need a documented fallback path for missing inputs, execution errors, or partial evidence. ## Key Features - Scope-focused workflow aligned to: Generate medical referral letters with patient summary, reason for referral. - Packaged executable path(s): `scripts/main.py`. - Reference material available in `references/` for task-specific guidance. - Reusable packaged asset(s), including `assets/sample_referral.json`. - Structured execution path designed to keep outputs consistent and reviewable. ## Dependencies See `## Prerequisites` above for related details. - `Python`: `3.10+`. Repository baseline for current packaged skills. - `dataclasses`: `unspecified`. Declared in `requirements.txt`. - `docx`: `unspecified`. Declared in `requirements.txt`. - `enum`: `unspecified`. Declared in `requirements.txt`. - `reportlab`: `unspecified`. Declared in `requirements.txt`. ## Example Usage See `## Usage` above for related details. ```bash cd "20260318/scientific-skills/Academic Writing/referral-letter-generator" python -m py_compile scripts/main.py python scripts/main.py --help ``` Example run plan: 1. Confirm the user input, output path, and any required config values. 2. Edit the in-file `CONFIG` block or documented parameters if the script uses fixed settings. 3. Run `python scripts/main.py` with the validated inputs. 4. Review the generated output and return the final artifact with any assumptions called out. ## Implementation Details See `## Workflow` above for related details. - Execution model: validate the request, choose the packaged workflow, and produce a bounded deliverable. - Input controls: confirm the source files, scope limits, output format, and acceptance criteria before running any script. - Primary implementation surface: `scripts/main.py`. - Reference guidance: `references/` contains supporting rules, prompts, or checklists. - Packaged assets: reusable files are available under `assets/`. - Parameters to clarify first: input path, output path, scope filters, thresholds, and any domain-specific constraints. - Output discipline: keep results reproducible, identify assumptions explicitly, and avoid undocumented side effects. ## Quick Check Use this command to verify that the packaged script entry point can be parsed before deeper execution. ```bash python -m py_compile scripts/main.py ``` ## Audit-Ready Commands Use these concrete commands for validation. They are intentionally self-contained and avoid placeholder paths. ```bash python -m py_compile scripts/main.py python scripts/main.py --help python scripts/main.py --input "Audit validation sample with explicit symptoms, history, assessment, and next-step plan." --format json ``` ## Workflow 1. Confirm the user objective, required inputs, and non-negotiable constraints before doing detailed work. 2. Validate that the request matches the documented scope and stop early if the task would require unsupported assumptions. 3. Use the packaged script path or the documented reasoning path with only the inputs that are actually available. 4. Return a structured result that separates assumptions, deliverables, risks, and unresolved items. 5. If execution fails or inputs are incomplete, switch to the fallback path and state exactly what blocked full completion. ## Overview This skill generates structured medical referral letters containing: - Patient demographic information - Reason for referral - Relevant medical history - Current medications and treatments - Contact information for follow-up ## Use Cases - Referring patients to specialists (cardiology, neurology, oncology, etc.) - Transferring care between hospitals or clinics - Urgent referrals for emergency conditions - Routine specialist consultations ## Usage ### Command Line ```text python scripts/main.py --input patient_data.json --output referral_letter.pdf ``` ### Python API ```python from scripts.main import generate_referral_letter letter = generate_referral_letter( patient_data={...}, referring_provider={...}, receiving_provider={...}, reason="...", output_format="pdf" # or "docx", "html", "txt" ) ``` ## Input Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | |-----------|------|----------|-------------| | patient_name | str | Yes | Patient full name | | patient_dob | str | Yes | Date of birth (YYYY-MM-DD) | | patient_id | str | Yes | Medical record number | | diagnosis | str | Yes | Primary diagnosis/reason for referral | | history | str | No | Relevant medical history | | medications | list | No | Current medications | | urgency | str | No | Routine/Urgent/Emergent | | referring_doctor | str | Yes | Referring physician name | | receiving_provider | str | Yes | Target specialist/facility | ## Output Formats - **PDF**: Professional formatted document (default) - **DOCX**: Editable Word document - **HTML**: Web-viewable format - **TXT**: Plain text ## Example ```json { "patient_name": "John Doe", "patient_dob": "1975-03-15", "diagnosis": "Suspected coronary artery disease", "reason": "Cardiology evaluation for chest pain", "urgency": "Urgent" } ``` ## Technical Notes - **Difficulty**: Medium - **Dependencies**: Python 3.8+, reportlab (PDF), python-docx (DOCX) - **Compliance**: Follows HIPAA guidelines for PHI handling - **Validation**: Input validation for required fields ## References See `references/` folder for: - Sample referral letter templates - Medical terminology guidelines - Privacy compliance checklist ## Safety & Privacy - All patient data is processed locally - No external API calls for patient information - Automatic PHI redaction in logs - Secure temporary file handling ## Risk Assessment | Risk Indicator | Assessment | Level | |----------------|------------|-------| | Code Execution | Python/R scripts executed locally | Medium | | Network Access | No external API calls | Low | | File System Access | Read input files, write output files | Medium | | Instruction Tampering | Standard prompt guidelines | Low | | Data Exposure | Output files saved to workspace | Low | ## Security Checklist - [ ] No hardcoded credentials or API keys - [ ] No unauthorized file system access (../) - [ ] Output does not expose sensitive information - [ ] Prompt injection protections in place - [ ] Input file paths validated (no ../ traversal) - [ ] Output directory restricted to workspace - [ ] Script execution in sandboxed environment - [ ] Error messages sanitized (no stack traces exposed) - [ ] Dependencies audited ## Prerequisites ```text # Python dependencies pip install -r requirements.txt ``` ## Evaluation Criteria ### Success Metrics - [ ] Successfully executes main functionality - [ ] Output meets quality standards - [ ] Handles edge cases gracefully - [ ] Performance is acceptable ### Test Cases 1. **Basic Functionality**: Standard input → Expected output 2. **Edge Case**: Invalid input → Graceful error handling 3. **Performance**: Large dataset → Acceptable processing time ## Lifecycle Status - **Current Stage**: Draft - **Next Review Date**: 2026-03-06 - **Known Issues**: None - **Planned Improvements**: - Performance optimization - Additional feature support ## Output Requirements Every final response should make these items explicit when they are relevant: - Objective or requested deliverable - Inputs used and assumptions introduced - Workflow or decision path - Core result, recommendation, or artifact - Constraints, risks, caveats, or validation needs - Unresolved items and next-step checks ## Error Handling - If required inputs are missing, state exactly which fields are missing and request only the minimum additional information. - If the task goes outside the documented scope, stop instead of guessing or silently widening the assignment. - If `scripts/main.py` fails, report the failure point, summarize what still can be completed safely, and provide a manual fallback. - Do not fabricate files, citations, data, search results, or execution outcomes. ## Input Validation This skill accepts requests that match the documented purpose of `referral-letter-generator` and include enough context to complete the workflow safely. Do not continue the workflow when the request is out of scope, missing a critical input, or would require unsupported assumptions. Instead respond: > `referral-letter-generator` only handles its documented workflow. Please provide the missing required inputs or switch to a more suitable skill. ## Response Template Use the following fixed structure for non-trivial requests: 1. Objective 2. Inputs Received 3. Assumptions 4. Workflow 5. Deliverable 6. Risks and Limits 7. Next Checks If the request is simple, you may compress the structure, but still keep assumptions and limits explicit when they affect correctness.
