mapping-loinc SKILL.md skillA
mapping-loinc from maziyarpanahi/openmed is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add maziyarpanahi/openmed/mapping-loinc@v1.0Pins v1.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Maps laboratory and clinical observation names extracted by OpenMed to LOINC codes using the public Regenstrief LOINC and FHIR terminology APIs. Use when the user wants to code lab tests, vital signs, or observations to LOINC, resolve a test name plus specimen and method to the correct LOINC part-model code, attach UCUM units, or build a US Core Laboratory Result Observation. Trigger keywords: LOINC, lab coding, observation code, UCUM units, specimen, method, US Core lab, FHIR Observation, lab…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Mapping lab/observation names to LOINC
Ground free-text lab and observation names that OpenMed surfaces to **LOINC**
(Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes), the universal standard for
identifying *what was measured*. A LOINC code is a fully specified observation —
not just an analyte but the full six-axis model: **Component, Property, Time,
System (specimen), Scale, Method**.
LOINC is **free** to use. It is published by the Regenstrief Institute under the
LOINC license: you accept terms-of-use (and register to download the table), but
there is no fee and no per-use restriction. The standard, public path for
license-clean mapping is a **FHIR terminology server** exposing LOINC via
`$lookup` / `$validate-code`, or Regenstrief's hosted **fhir.loinc.org**.
## When to use
- A note or report contains lab/observation names ("serum potassium",
"hemoglobin A1c", "blood pressure") and you need a stable LOINC code each.
- You must disambiguate by **specimen/system** ("glucose in serum" vs
"glucose in urine") or **method** ("HbA1c by HPLC").
- You need **UCUM** units to pair with the result value, or a US Core
`Observation` (Laboratory Result) coded with LOINC.

How to install
mdr add maziyarpanahi/openmed/mapping-loinc@sha256:652b188e8cf0e921The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
