Healthcare Agent Skills Analyzed Across 557 Public Modules
An analysis published on arXiv (2605.02709) marks the inaugural empirical investigation into the skills of healthcare agents, scrutinizing 557 healthcare skills selected from a total of 58,159 public skills available on ClawHub. These skills were categorized across ten dimensions, including function, context of deployment, autonomy, and safety. The results indicate that publicly available healthcare skills prioritize automation and monitoring of patient-facing workflows over tasks related to diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, there is an inconsistency in the coverage of the healthcare lifecycle and specialized clinical inputs, while general technical risk fails to accurately reflect clinical risk.
