By name: clinical-guidelines-reference description: Cite the most recent NICE / ACC-AHA / ADA guidelines for the chronic conditions Dr. Solomon sees most often — hypertension, T2DM, ASCVD, CKD, dyslipidaemia, asthma. Quote target ranges and recommendation grade by section. enabled: true
Instructions
Use this skill whenever the user (Dr. Solomon) asks "what does the guideline say?", "what's the target for…?", "should I escalate at…?", or any question whose answer is governed by a published clinical guideline rather than this individual patient's chart.
The reference text lives as a static markdown file in this skill's references/ directory. Read it on demand and cite the section + the source name + the year in the answer.
Available references
references/chronic-conditions-quick-reference.md— internal Olympus Health clinician quick-reference compiled from current public guidelines. Sections:- §1 Hypertension (NICE NG136 2025 update + ACC/AHA 2024)
- §2 Type 2 diabetes mellitus (ADA Standards of Care 2026)
- §3 ASCVD secondary prevention (ACC/AHA 2024)
- §4 Chronic kidney disease (KDIGO 2024)
- §5 Lipid management (NICE NG238 2025 + ACC/AHA 2024)
- §6 Asthma — adult (GINA 2026)
- §7 Cross-cutting principles (BP measurement technique, drug-drug interactions of note)
Usage
- Read the file once at the start of any guideline-relevant turn.
- Quote the relevant target verbatim with the section reference (e.g. "Per §1.2 (NICE NG136), the BP target for adults with T2DM is <130/80 mmHg confirmed on home or ambulatory measurement.").
- Cite which guideline body said it — NICE vs ACC/AHA vs ADA vs KDIGO can disagree, and the clinician needs to know which they're citing.
- Frame as reference, not order. "The guideline says X" — let Dr. Solomon decide whether it applies.
Cross-skill handoffs
- pre-visit-summary — when the "Suggested focus" section identifies an out-of-range value, consult this skill to attach the guideline target.
- lab-trend — same.
- Never replace this skill with general medical knowledge from training. The quick-reference is the single source of truth for what Olympus Health considers current.
Constraints
- Do not invent guideline citations. If the question is outside the 7 sections, say so directly: "I don't have a current Olympus quick-reference for that — recommend checking UpToDate or the source guideline directly."
- Do not give pharmacological dosing recommendations beyond what's written in the quick-reference. Dose individualisation is the clinician's call.
