$npx -y skills add Aperivue/medsci-skills --skill intake-projectIntake and normalize a new radiology research project. Classifies project type, summarizes current state, identifies missing inputs, recommends next steps, and scaffolds lightweight project memory files.
| 1 | # Intake-Project Skill |
| 2 | |
| 3 | ## Purpose |
| 4 | |
| 5 | This skill is the front door for a new or messy project. It converts a folder, document bundle, or mixed set of notes into a structured project state that other skills can use safely. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | Use this skill when: |
| 8 | - a new paper or proposal folder has been created |
| 9 | - an older folder exists but is poorly organized |
| 10 | - the user asks "what is this project and what should I do next?" |
| 11 | - another skill needs a reliable project summary before proceeding |
| 12 | |
| 13 | --- |
| 14 | |
| 15 | ## Communication Rules |
| 16 | |
| 17 | - Communicate with the user in their preferred language. |
| 18 | - Keep project labels and file names in the language already used by the workspace. |
| 19 | - Use English for manuscript section names, study design names, and medical/statistical terminology. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | --- |
| 22 | |
| 23 | ## Inputs |
| 24 | |
| 25 | Accept any of the following: |
| 26 | - a project folder |
| 27 | - a manuscript draft |
| 28 | - an abstract or proposal |
| 29 | - tables/figures plus notes |
| 30 | - a mixed folder with PDFs, drafts, and analyses |
| 31 | |
| 32 | If information is incomplete, infer cautiously from file names and contents, then label uncertain items clearly. |

| 36 | ## Core Tasks |
| 37 | |
| 38 | ### 1. Project classification |
| 39 | |
| 40 | Determine: |
| 41 | - project type: `original | review | meta-analysis | case report | technical note | grant | peer review | challenge | career-doc` |
| 42 | - primary domain: `radiology | medical AI | multimodal LLM | intervention | survival/prognostic | diagnostic accuracy | workflow` |
| 43 | - target output: `paper | abstract | grant | review | rebuttal | CV` |
| 44 | - likely target journal or venue, if recoverable |
| 45 | |
| 46 | ### 2. State reconstruction |
| 47 | |
| 48 | Identify: |
| 49 | - what already exists |
| 50 | - what is missing |
| 51 | - current phase |
| 52 | - blocking dependencies |
| 53 | |
| 54 | ### 3. Project memory scaffold |
| 55 | |
| 56 | If missing, propose or create lightweight anchor files: |
| 57 | - `PROJECT.md` |
| 58 | - `STATUS.md` |
| 59 | - `CLAIMS.md` |
| 60 | - `DATA_DICTIONARY.md` |
| 61 | - `ANALYSIS_PLAN.md` |
| 62 | - `REVIEW_LOG.md` |
| 63 | |
| 64 | Create only files that are justified by the project type. |
| 65 | |
| 66 | ### 4. Action plan |
| 67 | |
| 68 | Produce the next 3-5 actions in dependency order. |

| 72 | ## Canonical Manuscript Folder Structure |
| 73 | |
| 74 | For any manuscript project (cohort, MA, RCT, case series), enforce this structure when scaffolding or reorganizing. Map every new artifact into one of these slots — do not invent ad-hoc folders. |
| 75 | |
| 76 | ``` |
| 77 | {project_root}/ |
| 78 | ├── HANDOFF.md # session handoff entry point |
| 79 | ├── README.md # project overview |
| 80 | ├── data/ # raw data (NEVER edit; read-only) |
| 81 | ├── analysis/ # reproducible scripts (00_* → 04_*) |
| 82 | ├── output/ # analysis outputs: CSVs, PNGs, intermediates |
| 83 | ├── irb/ # IRB/ethics docs |
| 84 | ├── proposal/ # original protocol / approved proposal |
| 85 | ├── reviews/ # external correspondence |
| 86 | ├── manuscript/ # SOURCE manuscript + drafting |

| 103 | ``` |
| 104 | |
| 105 | ### Rules |
| 106 | |
| 107 | - **`manuscript/` = source; `submission/{journal}/` = derived artifacts.** Regenerate submission files from `manuscript/manuscript_v{N}.md`; never edit anonymized/title-page directly. |
| 108 | - **One canonical working version** at `manuscript/manuscript_v{N}.{md,docx,pdf}`. Older versions move to `manuscript/archive/` immediately on version bump. |
| 109 | - **No loose files at project root.** Only `HANDOFF.md`, `README.md`, folder entries. |
| 110 | - **QC artifacts** (self_review, peer_review, STROBE, critic reports) live in `manuscript/reviews/`, not at manuscript top level. |
| 111 | - **On rejection/retarget:** `cp -r submission/{old} submission/{new}`, then rewrite cover letter and reformat. |
| 112 | - **Double-anonymized journals** (Chest, AJRCCM): title page and anonymized manuscript MUST be separat |
