# digital-health-clinical-asr-build Curates clinical terms, synthesizes eval audio through Magpie TTS and writes a NeMo manifest. Stage 2 of the Clinical ASR Flywheel. - skill · `type=skill` · Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode · 1900 installs · ★ 3735 - Author: Ben Randoing - License: Apache-2.0 · policy=mirror · the beginning of the file is at the end of this page - Source: https://github.com/NVIDIA/skills/tree/HEAD/skills/digital-health-clinical-asr-build/SKILL.md - Updated: 2026-10-23 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/skills/digital-health-clinical-asr-build ## What it does The skill runs as a conversation. It asks which specialty or workflow you're targeting, then which ASR failures you've already seen — drug names, multi-word procedures, abbreviations. From your answers it proposes 4–10 terms with an `entity_category` such as `drug`, `procedure` or `anatomy`, and writes them to `term_seed.csv`. Pronunciation goes through two tiers: your overrides first, then Merriam-Webster, then Magpie G2P for whatever is left. Before the full Cartesian synthesis there's an audition gate — the skill generates sample clips so you can hear how the TTS handles a drug name, and only then builds the whole set. Output is a NeMo-format `manifest.jsonl` with clinical extension fields (`term`, `entity_category`, `ipa_source`, `voice_id`, `noise_level`, `context_type`) plus the audio it points to. \`NVIDIA_API_KEY` is required for hosted Magpie TTS via NVCF; `DICTIONARY_API_KEY` for Merriam-Webster is optional. Stage 1, `/digital-health-clinical-asr-setup`, has to be finished first. Terms and generated sentences are sent to dictionaryapi.com and grpc.nvcf.nvidia.com, so real patient records and real transcripts don't belong here. If sending terms to Merriam-Webster isn't acceptable under your data-governance policy, you can skip that path — long-tail terms then fall through to Magpie G2P with reduced coverage. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add NVIDIA/skills --skill digital-health-clinical-asr-build -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/digital-health-clinical-asr-build/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/digital-health-clinical-asr-build/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add NVIDIA/skills --skill digital-health-clinical-asr-build -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/digital-health-clinical-asr-build/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add NVIDIA/skills --skill digital-health-clinical-asr-build -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/digital-health-clinical-asr-build/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install NVIDIA/skills digital-health-clinical-asr-build ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/digital-health-clinical-asr-build/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add NVIDIA/skills --skill digital-health-clinical-asr-build -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/NVIDIA/skills --path skills/digital-health-clinical-asr-build ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/digital-health-clinical-asr-build/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add NVIDIA/skills --skill digital-health-clinical-asr-build -a opencode ``` ### Claude.ai **Claude.ai** - Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/NVIDIA/skills/tree/HEAD/skills/digital-health-clinical-asr-build/SKILL.md ## When to use it - build a term list for one clinical specialty - synthesize drug and procedure names for ASR testing - audition TTS pronunciation before generating the full set - produce a NeMo manifest with clinical fields - extend the term list from one cycle to the next ## Example prompts - Build a clinical ASR benchmark for orthopedics - Add drug names to my benchmark and synthesize audio for them - Make a cycle-2 manifest from these terms ## Source text · SKILL.md · Apache-2.0 Below is the content of a third-party file.

Specifically: ask the user 1–2 specialty-aware clarifying questions **before** proposing terms (Step 2a), walk them through the two-tier IPA pipeline (override → merriam-webster → magpie_g2p) in Step 2c, hit the explicit QA-mode audition gate in Step 2d before full Cartesian synthesis, and name **KER** as the headline metric they'll see in Stage 3. Skipping any of these defeats the methodology. You are the **curate-and-synthesize** stage. The user arrives from `/digital-health-clinical-asr-setup` and leaves with a NeMo-format `manifest.jsonl` plus the audio it references — both ready for scoring at `/digital-health-clinical-asr-eval`. ``` END THIRD-PARTY FILE 608b18e5bf4ec721 The third-party file has ended.
