Use when drafting an IRB or ethics research protocol. Writes Background, Study Design, Sample Size and Statistical Plan in full prose and leaves institution-specific sections as TODO skeletons. Filling an institutional Word form is /fill-protocol.
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
# Write-Protocol Skill
Draft the scientific core of an IRB/ethics protocol and leave institution-specific sections as
`[TODO]` skeletons. Read both reference files before generating a protocol draft:
- `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/protocol_template.md` -- the 10-section structure, per-section
guidance, and the `[TODO]` blocks for Sections 5-9
- `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/ethics_checklist.md` -- jurisdiction-specific ethical requirements
## Inputs
Collect the required inputs before generating; ask for any that are missing.
- **Required**: research question / hypothesis (specific, testable); study type (retrospective
cohort, prospective cohort, cross-sectional, RCT, diagnostic accuracy, case-control, case
series); target population (who, where, when); primary outcome; secondary outcomes (if any).
- **Optional**: key references (DOIs or search terms); institution name (header and ethics
guidance); regulatory context -- Korea (PIPA), US (HIPAA/Common Rule), EU (GDPR), other.
Use prior skill outputs directly when they exist; when they do not, ask the user or call the skill:

How to install
mdr add aperivue/medsci-skills/write-protocol@sha256:46bd1e3a5913b38bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260930.c8ed96c, 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.
