# digital-health-clinical-asr-eval Scores a NeMo manifest for clinical ASR, computes WER, CER, KER and SER, and builds a five-section leaderboard. Use it when you need to decide between fine-tuning and fixing pronunciation coverage. - 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-eval/SKILL.md - Updated: 2026-10-23 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/skills/digital-health-clinical-asr-eval ## What it does This is stage 3 of the Clinical ASR Flywheel. You bring a `manifest.jsonl` in NeMo format — either produced by the build stage or carried in from elsewhere. The skill transcribes every row through the chosen ASR model, scores four metrics, and assembles a leaderboard: headline numbers first, then KER by entity category, by pronunciation source, by noise level, and finally worst terms one by one. The default model is `nvidia/parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v2` over NVCF. You can swap it with the `ASR_MODEL_NAME`, `ASR_NVCF_FUNCTION_ID` or `ASR_ENDPOINT` environment variables, the last one pointing at a self-hosted gRPC endpoint. An `NVIDIA_API_KEY` is required, and the manifest has to carry the clinical-extension fields. Audio leaves your machine: each WAV plus its reference transcript goes to `grpc.nvcf.nvidia.com`. The skill says this plainly — do not push real patient encounters or any PHI through it, only synthetic audio. KER is the headline metric, not WER. The per-row check is strict: flagged terms must appear in order, contiguous and adjacent in the normalized hypothesis, so `cefazolin → cefa zolin` counts as a miss. When `merriam-webster` rows score well and `magpie_g2p` rows do not, that points at a pronunciation-coverage gap rather than a weak model, and the skill routes you back to the build stage instead of fine-tuning. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add NVIDIA/skills --skill digital-health-clinical-asr-eval -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/digital-health-clinical-asr-eval/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/digital-health-clinical-asr-eval/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add NVIDIA/skills --skill digital-health-clinical-asr-eval -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/digital-health-clinical-asr-eval/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add NVIDIA/skills --skill digital-health-clinical-asr-eval -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/digital-health-clinical-asr-eval/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-eval ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/digital-health-clinical-asr-eval/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add NVIDIA/skills --skill digital-health-clinical-asr-eval -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/NVIDIA/skills --path skills/digital-health-clinical-asr-eval ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/digital-health-clinical-asr-eval/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add NVIDIA/skills --skill digital-health-clinical-asr-eval -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-eval/SKILL.md ## When to use it - score a NeMo manifest for clinical ASR - compute WER, CER, KER and SER per term - build the five-section KER leaderboard - split errors by pronunciation source - decide whether fine-tuning is worth it ## Example prompts - Score my ASR manifest and show the leaderboard - What's the KER on parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v2 for the clinical benchmark? - Why is KER 0.4 when WER is 0.07? ## Source text · SKILL.md · Apache-2.0 Below is the content of a third-party file.

The user arrives with a NeMo-format `manifest.jsonl` (either from `/digital-health-clinical-asr-build` or carried in from elsewhere). You transcribe it via the chosen ASR NIM, score four metrics, produce a five-section leaderboard, and read the decision tree to decide whether the user should advance to `/digital-health-clinical-asr-finetune`, loop back to `/digital-health-clinical-asr-build`, or stop and harden the eval. **This skill does not generate audio.** If the manifest is missing or empty, send the user back to `/digital-health-clinical-asr-build`. ``` END THIRD-PARTY FILE fbf32f6c470e69a0 The third-party file has ended.
