Contribute to Open Medical Skills
Open Medical Skills grows through community contributions. Whether you are a developer, researcher, clinician, or healthcare organization, there is a path for you to share medical AI tools with the community. Every submission is reviewed by physician maintainers before publication.
Technical Path (GitHub)
For developers and Git users
Submit directly via pull request if you are comfortable with GitHub workflows.
dev content/skills/ following the schema specification skills/ with a SKILL.md file dev for physician review See the full contribution guide for detailed instructions.
Non-Technical Path
No GitHub experience required
Use our web-based tools to create and submit skills without touching a terminal.
AI Skill Builder
Chat with our AI assistant to build your skill step by step. It helps you define metadata, prompts, safety guardrails, and documentation.
Start Building a SkillWeb Submission Form
Fill out a guided form with your skill details. The form auto-generates a properly formatted pull request for physician review.
Open Submission FormWhat Makes a Good Medical AI Skill
Every submission is evaluated against these criteria during physician review. Skills that meet these standards are more likely to be approved and will provide the most value to the community.
Clear Clinical Purpose
Solves a specific clinical need, automates a healthcare workflow, or addresses a well-defined problem in medical practice or research. The use case should be immediately obvious to a clinician.
Evidence-Based
Grounded in clinical guidelines, peer-reviewed medical literature, or established diagnostic and therapeutic protocols. Claims should cite specific sources, not general assertions.
Safety-Aware
Includes appropriate disclaimers, does not make unsupported clinical claims, and clearly states limitations. Tools that influence clinical decisions must carry explicit warnings.
Well-Documented
Includes a comprehensive SKILL.md with usage examples, clinical use cases, known limitations, technical requirements, and literature references.
Open Source
Published under a recognized open-source license with publicly accessible source code. The community must be able to audit, verify, and contribute to the tool.
Not Clinical Decision Support
All OMS skills are research and learning tools. They must not be framed as clinical decision support (CDS) systems. This is a deliberate regulatory boundary.
Medical Categories
Every skill is assigned to one of 14 medical categories. Choose the category that best matches your skill's primary clinical domain. See the full category guide for detailed descriptions and examples.
Review Process
Every submission goes through a structured review pipeline before it reaches the directory.
Automated Validation
Our CI pipeline validates the YAML schema, checks for duplicate entries, verifies repository URL accessibility, and confirms proper metadata.
Physician Review
A physician maintainer evaluates the skill for medical accuracy, safety classification appropriateness, evidence quality, and compliance with medical AI best practices.
Publication
Approved skills are merged and automatically deployed to the live directory. The search index rebuilds, and the skill becomes discoverable within minutes.

Research Tool Disclaimer
All skills listed on Open Medical Skills are research and learning tools. They are not intended to serve as clinical decision support (CDS) systems and must not be used as a substitute for professional medical judgment. Clinicians should always exercise independent clinical reasoning when evaluating any output from these tools. By submitting a skill, you attest that it is framed as a research and educational resource, not as a diagnostic or therapeutic decision-making system.
