Clinical Decision Support Documents
Overview
Clinical decision support (CDS) documents are analytical reports for pharmaceutical research, guideline development, and regulatory submissions. This knowhow covers two main document types: Patient Cohort Analyses (biomarker-stratified group outcomes) and Treatment Recommendation Reports (evidence-graded clinical guidelines). For individual patient-level treatment plans, use the treatment-plans skill instead.
Key Concepts
1. Document Types
Patient Cohort Analysis — Group-level statistical comparison of patient subgroups stratified by biomarkers, molecular subtypes, or clinical characteristics.
- Typical content: demographics, biomarker stratification, outcome metrics (OS, PFS, ORR), Kaplan-Meier curves, forest plots
- Audience: pharmaceutical companies, clinical researchers, regulatory bodies
- Length: 5–15 pages (1-page executive summary + detailed sections)
Treatment Recommendation Report — Evidence-based clinical guidelines with GRADE-graded recommendations for disease management.
- Typical content: evidence review, recommendations by line of therapy, decision algorithm flowcharts, monitoring protocols
- Audience: guideline committees, medical affairs, KOLs
- Length: 5–20 pages

scientific-brainstorming
Structured ideation methods: SCAMPER, Six Thinking Hats, Morphological Analysis, TRIZ, Biomimicry, plus more. Decision framework for picking methods by challenge type (stuck, improving, systematic exploration, contradiction). Use when generating research ideas or exploring interdisciplinary connections.
12gene-database
Query NCBI Gene via E-utilities for curated gene records across 1M+ taxa. Retrieve official gene symbols, aliases, RefSeq accessions, summary descriptions, genomic coordinates, GO annotations, and interaction data. Use for gene ID resolution, cross-species queries, and gene function summaries. For sequence retrieval use Ensembl; for expression data use geo-database.
10snakemake-workflow-engine
Python-based workflow management system for reproducible, scalable pipelines. Define rules with file-based dependencies; Snakemake automatically determines the execution order and parallelism. Supports local, SLURM, LSF, AWS, and Google Cloud execution via profiles; per-rule conda/Singularity environments. Use for bioinformatics NGS pipelines, ML training workflows, and any multi-step file-processing analysis. Use Nextflow instead for Groovy-based dataflow pipelines or when nf-core ecosystem integration is required.
10esm-protein-language-model
Protein language models (ESM3, ESM C) for sequence generation, structure prediction, inverse folding, and protein embeddings. Use when designing novel proteins, extracting sequence representations for downstream ML, or predicting structure from sequence. Local GPU or EvolutionaryScale Forge cloud API. For traditional structure prediction use AlphaFold; for small-molecule cheminformatics use RDKit.
10matchms-spectral-matching
Mass spectrometry spectral matching and metabolite identification with matchms. Use for importing spectra (mzML, MGF, MSP, JSON), filtering/normalizing peaks, computing spectral similarity (cosine, modified cosine, fingerprint), building reproducible processing pipelines, and identifying unknown metabolites from spectral libraries. For full LC-MS/MS proteomics pipelines, use pyopenms instead.
10chembl-database-bioactivity
Query ChEMBL via Python SDK. Search compounds by structure/properties, retrieve bioactivity (IC50, Ki, EC50), find target inhibitors, run SAR, access drug mechanism/indication data.
