clinical-question-clarifier

separate

Clarifies a vague clinical or biomedical research idea into a structured, bounded, searchable, researchable, and testable question. Always use this skill whenever a user has an early-stage clinical or research thought, an over-broad topic, an ill-defined evidence question, or an unclear problem statement that must be translated into a question framing suitable for literature retrieval, evidence synthesis, gap analysis, study design, or downstream protocol planning. Never jump straight to answering the substantive medical question unless the user explicitly asks for that. Focus first on question framing, boundary setting, and downstream-ready formulation.

When to use

• early-stage clinical or research thought
• over-broad topic
• ill-defined evidence question
• unclear problem statement
• vague clinical question
• broad biomedical research topic
• early study idea
• observed phenomenon to turn into a researchable question

When not to use

• direct patient-specific medical advice
• treatment decisions
• final literature answers
• pure writing polish with no problem-definition purpose
• non-biomedical idea-framing requests
