Use when a skill fails for a missing tool or the environment needs checking. Diagnoses Python, R, Node, Claude Code, Git, Zotero and configured MCP servers and prints a pass/fail table with links to the setup docs. Read-only; installs nothing.
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
# Setup-MedSci Skill Diagnose only. **Never install, upgrade or configure anything** — no `brew install`, `winget install`, `pip install`, `Rscript -e 'install.packages(...)'`, and no edits to `~/.claude.json` or any MCP configuration (read `claude mcp list` only) — because auto-installers for system Python and R are a support nightmare for non-developer users. If a tool is missing, the user follows the setup doc themselves. Skill versions and content are out of scope (`validate_skills.sh`, `/manage-project status`). The diagnostic table is in English so it can be pasted into a GitHub issue. Remediation links point to the `docs/setup/` guides in the medsci-skills repository, and only these five exist: `docs/setup/README.md`, `docs/setup/mac.md`, `docs/setup/windows.md`, `docs/setup/mcp-setup.md`, `docs/setup/common-issues.md`. ## Workflow ### Phase 1: Detect OS ```bash uname -s ``` - `Darwin` → macOS → `docs/setup/mac.md` - `Linux` → Linux (similar tooling to Mac) → `docs/setup/mac.md` - `MINGW*`, `MSYS*`, `CYGWIN*`, or detection failure on Windows → `docs/setup/windows.md` ### Phase 2: Run Diagnostic Commands …

How to install
mdr add aperivue/medsci-skills/setup-medsci@sha256:4f30f5b7db569ac1The 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.
