Author Strategy Analysis (PubMed)
Reverse-engineers a researcher's publication strategy from PubMed into a CSV dataset, seven charts, and a strategy report.

What it does
- Fetches an author's PubMed record via NCBI E-utilities and stores it as CSV.
- Classifies each paper by study type (GBD, systematic review/meta-analysis, NHIS claims, national surveys, biobank, AI/ML, RCT, case report, letter).
- Generates seven PNG charts (yearly stack, type pie, author position, journal-tier heatmap, topic distribution, growth curve, strategy ROI) plus
analysis_report.md. - Offers an opt-in "trajectory archetype" classification (A1–A6) behind a mandatory disambiguation gate: candidate clusters by affiliation/year/ORCID must be reviewed and approved by you, and the manifest is hash-bound to the CSV.
- Hard anti-hallucination rules: h-index, citations, and venue tiers are marked
[VERIFY]and never invented; unclassifiable papers become "Other".
Who it's for
- Graduate students, residents, and researchers in medicine, epidemiology, and public health.
- Anyone benchmarking a mentor's or competitor's publication pattern.
- Researchers deciding which study design to invest in next.
Usage examples
- "Analyze author Kim DK" → total output, growth trajectory, first/last-author rate, high-tier journal share.
- "Which meta-analysis topics are feasible with this professor?" → cross-references topic clusters to surface prioritized gaps.
- "Classify this author's career archetype" → confirm candidate clusters, then get scores, confidence bands, and evidence PMIDs.

Try it now, no install
Paste this into Claude to use the skill without installing anything.
Read the instructions in this file and follow them to help me: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Aperivue/medsci-skills/HEAD/skills/author-strategy/SKILL.md What I want: (describe your task here)
If Claude can't open the link, open it yourself and paste the contents instead.
↓ If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.
Install in the Claude app (no terminal)
- Download the ZIP with the button below.
- In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
- Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.
Install in Claude Code
Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the skills/author-strategy folder from the GitHub repo Aperivue/medsci-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/author-strategy/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/Aperivue/medsci-skills.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r medsci-skills/skills/author-strategy ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Confirm Python 3.10+ is installed:
python --version - Install dependencies:
pip install biopython pandas matplotlib seaborn pyyaml - Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/Aperivue/medsci-skills.git - Copy the skill:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r medsci-skills/skills/author-strategy ~/.claude/skills/ - Restart Claude Code and ask for "author-strategy" or "analyze this author's publications".
- Have an email address ready — NCBI E-utilities requires it via the
--emailflag.
