What You Can Do
This skill transforms patient presentation data into organized clinical reasoning frameworks that generate ranked differential diagnoses with supporting rationale. You'll develop patient-specific management protocols with clear decision points, prioritize urgent versus routine follow-up actions, and document clinical reasoning for medical records and referral communications. It integrates examination findings, systemic risk factors, and evidence-based treatment options to support diagnostic confidence and clinical decision-making.
Features
input symptoms and signs to receive ranked candidate diagnoses with likelihood and supporting rationale
cross-reference ocular findings with systemic conditions and laboratory results to refine diagnoses
generate patient-specific treatment plans with medication options, dosing guidance, and monitoring intervals
prioritize urgent interventions and identify high-stakes presentations requiring expedited referral or intensive management
structure differential diagnoses and management reasoning for medical records, patient communication, and referring provider correspondence
clarify diagnostic pathways with if-then protocols that guide next steps based on response to treatment or additional test results
systematically consider rare variants, disease mimics, and unusual presentations that may not fit classic patterns
Example Output
Input: 45-year-old with 2 weeks anterior chamber inflammation, photophobia, pain; posterior synechiae noted; elevated IOP; no trauma history; mild systemic joint pain
Output:
Ranked Differential Diagnoses:
- HLA-B27–associated anterior uveitis (40% likelihood) — fever/joint pain, young presentation, males > females, aggressive inflammation pattern
- Idiopathic anterior uveitis (30%) — no systemic findings, acute presentation, responds well to topical steroids
- Sarcoidosis-associated uveitis (20%) — systemic workup indicated (CXR, ACE, calcium); granulomatous findings on anterior lens examination
- Behçet disease (7%) — recurrent course, posterior involvement, requires aphthous ulcer/genital lesion history
- Infectious anterior uveitis (3%) — rare but rule out: syphilis serology, tuberculin testing if systemic symptoms present
Recommended Management Plan:
- Topical prednisolone acetate 1% QID, taper based on inflammation response
- Topical tropicamide 1% BID for posterior synechiae prevention
- Referral for systemic rheumatology evaluation and HLA-B27 testing
- Follow-up in 1 week; urgent evaluation if pain/redness worsens
Decision Points: If inflammation worsens despite maximal topical therapy → consider systemic corticosteroids or immunosuppression.

You can generate publication-ready scientific diagrams by simply describing them in natural language. Claude uses Nano Banana Pro AI to create the visuals, then automatically reviews quality using Gemini 3 Pro, only regenerating if the result falls below your document type's threshold. This eliminates manual drawing, coding, or template work while ensuring your diagrams meet journal, conference, thesis, or presentation standards.
