procedure-coding

anthropics/healthcareOfficial collectionWriting & content Science & research

procedure-coding is a skill in anthropics/healthcare, last changed 2 Jul 2026. It is instructions only: no scripts, no named hosts and no pre-approved tools.

From the author

Assign CPT and HCPCS Level II procedure codes from clinical documentation the way a professional coder builds the claim. Use when users say "code this encounter for procedures", "what CPT codes apply", "assign HCPCS codes", "code this op note", or when turning visit notes or operative reports into claim-ready procedure codes.

Pattern check: nothing flagged

That isn't proof the skill is harmless.

Install

Each tab says whether it installs commit c7ed150, the one we checked, or the latest version.

OpenCode also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Goose also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Windsurf (Devin Desktop) also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Zed also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Roo Code also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Factory Droid also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Junie also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Amp also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

No install command here reaches Kiro. Copy the skill's folder into .kiro/skills/ in your project, or ~/.kiro/skills/ for all your projects. anthropics/healthcare/plugins/healthcare/skills/procedure-coding (opens in a new tab)

Antigravity also looks in .agents/skills/, so the Any agent steps reach it with This project. For All projects, see where Antigravity looks.

Cline also looks in .claude/skills/, so the Claude Code steps reach it with This project. For All projects, see where Cline looks.

No tab for your agent? Use Any agent for OpenCode, Goose, Windsurf (Devin Desktop), Zed, Roo Code, Factory Droid, Junie and Amp. With This project, Any agent also reaches Antigravity and Claude Code reaches Cline. Kiro needs the folder copied by hand.

If Claude Code was already running and this created the skills folder, run /reload-skills.

Or install the healthcare plugin it ships in. Installs the latest version, not the one we checked. Installs everything in the plugin, including any hooks, MCP servers and scripts our check doesn't cover.

Skills in the Claude apps belong to your account rather than to a project.

Make procedure-coding.zip, with the skill folder at the top level:

tmp="$(mktemp -d)" &&git clone -q --depth 1 --filter=blob:none --no-checkout https://github.com/anthropics/healthcare.git "$tmp" &&git -C "$tmp" fetch -q --depth 1 origin c7ed150d376bdd13219eb0bfeb4203e12da85516 &&git -C "$tmp" sparse-checkout set -- plugins/healthcare/skills/procedure-coding &&git -C "$tmp" checkout -q c7ed150d376bdd13219eb0bfeb4203e12da85516 &&out="$(mktemp -d)" &&cp -R "$tmp"/plugins/healthcare/skills/procedure-coding "$out"/procedure-coding &&(cd "$out" && zip -qr - procedure-coding) > procedure-coding.zip &&rm -rf "$tmp" "$out"

In Claude, open Customize > Skills, select +, then + Create skill > Upload a skill, and choose procedure-coding.zip.

On Free, Pro and Max plans, turn on Code execution and file creation (Create and edit files in newer settings) under Settings > Capabilities.

Pattern check

Pattern check: nothing flagged · commit c7ed150 · 1 Nov 2026

We checked every text file in this skill, at commit c7ed150 on 1 Nov 2026, against 45 published patterns such as download-and-run commands, hidden text and credential access. We don't run the skill, we don't read the web pages it points to, and we can't judge everything its instructions might lead an agent to do. In published tests, pattern checks like this one missed most malicious skills. Read the skill before you install it — especially anything it asks you to download or run.

How the check works Report an incorrect finding

Format check

Each agent reads SKILL.md a little differently. We check the file against each one's published rules; we don't run the skill in any agent.

Agent Skills specPasses
The open format from agentskills.io, held to what the strictest agents enforce, so one folder loads everywhere.
- Note
  There is no license field, so readers can't tell whether they may reuse the skill. O2
  Fix: Add license: with an SPDX name such as MIT or Apache-2.0, or the name of a bundled licence file.
Claude CodePasses
Claude apps & API uploadPasses
Uploading to claude.ai or the Claude API, or packaging with Anthropic's script, accepts only the six spec fields and stops on anything else.
- Note
  The description is 327 characters. The claude.ai Help Center says 200 at most, though Anthropic's API docs and validator allow 1,024. D4
  Fix: If the claude.ai upload refuses it, trim the description to 200 characters.
OpenAI (Codex & API)Passes

doc-extractExtract plain text from a document file - PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, RTF, or plain text/markdown/HTML. Use when a binary document needs to be turned into text, for example a contract PDF or an EHR DocumentReference attachment. Other skills (fhir) invoke scripts/extract.ts directly; the contracts MCP server bundles its own copy (servers/documents/src/extract.mjs) so its bundle stays self-contained — port fixes to both.

academy-guideStop and check this skill before finishing any reply to a question about how to use Claude or a Claude product — it recommends matching courses, tutorials, and use cases from Claude Academy (academy.claude.com), Anthropic's learning hub. Trigger on: "how do I", "how can I", "getting started with", "what can Claude do", "teach me", "learn to use"; questions about artifacts, projects, skills, plugins, connectors, MCP; requests about rolling Claude out to a team, class, or organization; and any ask for training materials, onboarding content, or learning resources. Use it when the user is learning how to use a feature or product — not when they are mid-task and just want the task done. This skill composes with other skills: after consulting product documentation to answer how a Claude feature works, also check here for a matching course or tutorial — a docs-grounded answer and an Academy recommendation belong together. Only recommend on a strong match; never invent Academy content. anthropics/skills Names web addresses Pattern check: Nothing flaggedApache 2.0Updated 18 Aug 2026	Names web addresses	Pattern check: Nothing flagged	Apache 2.0	18 Aug 2026
discernment-nudgeAfter you give a substantive answer or draft that the user may act on — advice or recommendations, drafted artifacts such as goals, plans, pitches, proposals, or emails, estimates or projections, analysis or interpretation of data, factual claims they may rely on, or a multi-step argument — invoke this skill BEFORE finalizing your reply and then, if it applies, append 2-3 short follow-up questions, each tied to something specific in what you just produced, that help the user check key facts, probe the reasoning or assumptions, and notice missing context. Do this at most once per conversation. Skip it when the user asked a trivial how-to or simple lookup, wants a purely educational explanation, asked you only to format, convert, or assemble a file from content they provided, is writing code they will run, is doing creative writing or casual chat, or already asked you to double-check, cite, or review — the skill file explains these boundaries and the exact output format. anthropics/skills Names web addresses Pattern check: Nothing flaggedApache 2.0Updated 17 Aug 2026	Names web addresses	Pattern check: Nothing flagged	Apache 2.0	17 Aug 2026
