Does Informed Patient work with Claude Code?

It is in our test queue — we run every skill on real work before issuing a verdict, and this one is scheduled.

How do I install Informed Patient?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Informed Patient with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

What Informed Patient does

Use when the user explicitly asks to use the informed-patient skill to prepare for a medical appointment, organize symptoms before seeing a doctor, or evaluate the evidence behind a diagnosis or treatment. Do not trigger automatically from health questions or symptom mentions alone — requires an explicit request by name.
