## What it does

Feed the skill a molecular profile — mutations, fusions, amplifications — plus the cancer type, and it returns prioritized treatment options instead of a data dump. Every recommendation carries an evidence level. The hierarchy is strict: approved for this mutation in this cancer first, then tumor-agnostic approval, then active trials, and off-label last. Skipping that order when an approved option exists is flagged as a clinical error.

The workflow runs in phases. Profile validation resolves gene IDs through Ensembl, UniProt and ChEMBL. Variant interpretation pulls from CIViC, ClinVar, COSMIC, GDC/TCGA, OncoKB and cBioPortal. Treatment options come from OpenTargets and DailyMed, resistance analysis from CIViC and PubMed with structural work, and trials from ClinicalTrials.gov. The run ends with a synthesized report and an executive summary.

Guessing is off the table. Approval status for a mutation-drug pair goes through `OncoKB_annotate_variant` and `civic_search_variants`, trials through `search_clinical_trials`, variant frequency through `GDC_get_mutation_frequency` or `cBioPortal_get_mutations`. Tool calls use English terms even when you write in another language. Watch the parameter names: `variant_id` not `variant_name`, `ensemblId` in camelCase, `condition` not `disease`. A wrong name kills the call.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/tooluniverse-precision-oncology/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mims-harvard/ToolUniverse --skill tooluniverse-precision-oncology -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/mims-harvard/ToolUniverse/tree/HEAD/skills/tooluniverse-precision-oncology/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- pick therapy for a specific mutation and cancer type
- work out why a drug stopped working and what comes next
- find active clinical trials that match a patient profile
- gauge the evidence level behind an off-label option
- tell primary resistance from acquired resistance

## Example prompts
- Patient has NSCLC with EGFR L858R — what are the treatment options?
- Patient progressed on osimertinib, what's next?
- Find clinical trials for KRAS G12C

# Precision Oncology Treatment Advisor

Provide actionable treatment recommendations for cancer patients based on their molecular profile using CIViC, ClinVar, OpenTargets, ClinicalTrials.gov, and structure-based analysis.

## Domain Reasoning

Treatment selection follows a strict evidence hierarchy: FDA-approved for this specific mutation in this cancer type ranks highest, followed by approval for this mutation in any cancer (tumor-agnostic), then active clinical trials, and finally off-label use. Skipping this hierarchy to recommend off-label therapies when an approved option exists is a clinical error. Always check current NCCN guidelines and recent literature, as approvals change rapidly — a drug that was investigational last year may now be first-line.

When looking up treatment for a specific mutation, search CIViC and OncoKB FIRST, not PubMed. These databases have curated evidence levels. PubMed is for when curated databases don't have the answer.

## Treatment Selection Reasoning

**Biomarker-to-drug logic** — When a biomarker is identified, the first-line targeted therapy follows established mappings. Always verify current approval status via OncoKB/CIViC, but use this as a starting framework:
- **NSCLC**: EGFR exon 19 del / L858R → osimertinib (1L); ALK fusion → alectinib/lorlatinib; ROS1 fusion → crizotinib/entrectinib; KRAS G12C → sotorasib/adagrasib; MET exon 14 skip → capmatinib/tepotinib; RET fusion → selpercatinib; BRAF V600E → dabrafenib+trametinib; NTRK fusion → larotrectinib/entrectinib (tumor-agnostic)
```
