How to install Medsci Skills in Grok Build
grok plugin install Aperivue/medsci-skills --trustReview before you trust it. --trust lets this plugin's hooks, MCP servers and scripts run code on your computer. It's a community repo that neither xAI nor GrokStacks has reviewed, so read its code first.
We install this repo directly: Grok Build 1.0.62 can't install it through its own marketplace file. This repo's marketplace has 9 plugins; we checked medsci-literature. Install another the same way: grok plugin install <name>@Aperivue/medsci-skills --trust (names under 'What it contains'). Then start a new Grok session, or press r in /plugins, to load it. Grok names it medsci-skills-752d586a (after its install folder), so that's the name to use with grok plugin uninstall.
Command format: Grok Build's plugin guide
What we checked: on Oct 18, 2026 it installed with grok 1.0.62 and Grok found 62 skills. That's an install check only: we haven't run it in a live Grok session.
What it contains
Skills (25)
academic-aio— Use when a medical AI paper should be found and cited by AI search engines and RAG tools. Optimizes the title, abstract, summary box (Key Points, Research in Context), keywords, preprint, GitHub README/CITATION.cff and Hugging Face card, readd-journal— Use when a target journal has no profile yet. Reads the journal's author guidelines and writes a detailed /write-paper profile plus a compact /find-journal profile, public or user-local private, in the canonical format with quality gates.analyze-stats— Use when data needs statistical analysis. Runs reproducible Python/R code for Table 1, diagnostic accuracy, agreement, regression, survival, propensity score, survey-weighted and repeated-measures models, with publication tables. Sample sizarchitecture-zoo— Renamed to /model-selection in v6 (removed in v7).author-strategy— Use when analyzing a researcher's publication record from PubMed. Fetches an author's papers, classifies study types and author position, charts the patterns and writes a strategy report, with an optional trajectory-archetype classificationbatch-cohort— Use when one validated cohort analysis must be repeated across many exposure/outcome pairs. Generates one R/Python script per combination from a single methodology template, changing only the variables, and aggregates the results into a sumcalc-sample-size— Use when planning how many patients or cases a study needs before data collection (power analysis, IRB justification). Walks a decision tree to the right test and returns reproducible R/Python code and IRB-ready justification text. Analyzincheck-reporting— Use when auditing a manuscript item by item against a reporting guideline or risk-of-bias tool. Covers 49 reporting guidelines and risk-of-bias tools (STROBE, CONSORT, STARD, TRIPOD+AI, PRISMA, QUADAS and more), marking each item PRESENT, Pclean-data— Use when a clinical CSV/Excel dataset needs profiling and cleaning before analysis (missing values, outliers, duplicates, type mismatches). Profiles, flags and generates cleaning code in three stages, each gated on the researcher's approvalcontribute— Use when sending local changes back to the project (an added journal profile, a fixed checklist item, an adapted skill) or reporting a false positive or bug. Finds what changed, scans it for patient data, shows every line and sends nothingcross-national— Use when comparing an exposure-outcome association across countries with parallel national surveys (KNHANES, NHANES, CHNS). Harmonizes variables, runs parallel weighted analyses and builds comparison tables for 2-country (KR+US) or 3-countrdefine-variables— Use when exposure, outcome, covariate or eligibility definitions and cutoffs need a citable basis before the protocol. Reads the data dictionary first, then maps each variable to a guideline or published definition and the database columnsdeidentify— Use when clinical data may contain PHI and must be de-identified before any LLM-assisted analysis. A local Python script (no network or AI calls) detects identifiers with regex and heuristics in 12 country locale packs, with interactive terdesign-ai-benchmarking— Use when designing a study that benchmarks AI systems against a human-expert panel, before data collection. Plans the arms, decoupled rubrics with anchors, planted calibration probes, reviewer panel, inter-rater reliability targets and LLM-design-study— Use when checking a radiology or medical AI study design before drafting or submission. Reviews the analysis unit, cohort logic, leakage risks, comparator, validation strategy and reporting-guideline fit. AI-vs-expert benchmarks are /designexplainability— Renamed to /model-assessment in v6 (removed in v7).fill-icmje-coi— Use when each author needs an ICMJE Conflict of Interest disclosure form (coi_disclosure.docx) for submission. Clones a pre-filled synthetic seed with every item marked None and replaces only date, name and manuscript title, so most authorsfill-protocol— Use when an institutional Word form (.doc/.docx IRB protocol, ethics application, grant template) must be filled without breaking its styles, tables, fonts or page layout. Renders content drafted by /write-protocol into the template; CJK-awfind-cohort-gap— Use when looking for research topics a longitudinal cohort database can answer (NHIS, UK Biobank, an institutional EMR or registry). Profiles the cohort, matches PI expertise, scans literature saturation and returns ranked topic proposals wfind-journal— Use when choosing where to submit a manuscript. Matches the abstract against curated journal profiles and returns ranked picks with scope fit, AI-disclosure policy, an acceptance-readiness pre-flight and a reject-fallback cascade. Impact anfulltext-retrieval— Use when you need full-text PDFs for a list of DOIs, such as a meta-analysis screening set. Batch-downloads open-access copies via Unpaywall, PMC, OpenAlex and Crossref, lists paywalled papers for manual access, and can convert PDFs to Markgenerate-codebook— Use when a tabular dataset (CSV, Excel, Parquet, Stata, SAS) needs a data dictionary. Profiles every variable (type, levels, range, missingness) into codebook.md and codebook.json and flags coded values of unknown meaning as [NEEDS DICTIONAgrant-builder— Use when drafting a grant or challenge proposal for a radiology or medical AI project, including a Korean government industry-academia plan. Structures significance, innovation, approach, aims, milestones and consortium roles, keeping claimhumanize— Use when a manuscript or response-to-reviewers letter reads as AI-written. Scans for 27 AI writing patterns and rewrites flagged passages, preserving technical accuracy and bounding how much text changes. Not general copy-editing; that is /imaging-data— Use when preparing a medical-imaging dataset (DICOM/NIfTI) for modelling. Profiles spacing, orientation, intensity, label integrity, foreground fraction and target volume, gates them against the plan, then plans and audits preprocessing and
