Since I published my mom's story, I’ve heard from many people supporting a loved one through cancer.
The last thing a patient or caregiver needs is a pile of confusing medical terms, hype, and scattered information. Instead, they need clear answers to three questions: What should we do next? What do we know? How can we advocate for ourselves?
Here's what patients and caregivers have told me:
"You have to be a huge patient advocate. Push for answers. Push for biopsies. Push for proper testing. Ask questions."
"I need help navigating difficult conversations and advocating for myself."
"The volume of doctors, documents, and insurance paperwork can quickly become overwhelming."

This skill creates a concise, fact-based brief with 5 sections:
It creates this brief based on documents and context that you share with it and trusted medical sources like NCI's PDQ summaries and the ClinicalTrials.gov API.
On first use, the skill will ask you whether to create the brief in a local Markdown file or a shareable Google Doc. You can run the skill with more context to update the brief over time.
The easiest way to install the skill is to paste this into ChatGPT, Claude Code, or your favorite agent:

The skill grounds its research in trusted medical sources:
The skill supports decisions with current evidence. It does not diagnose cancer, choose treatment, determine trial eligibility, or replace the patient's medical team.
SKILL.md contains the complete care-navigation and research workflow.search_trials.py searches ClinicalTrials.gov API v2, filters sites by distance from home with --near LAT,LON, labels each site's recruitment status, and ranks likely matches first.eval.md checks the destination, brief structure, action specificity, medical boundaries, and concise care-log format.test_search_trials.py covers location normalization, distance filtering, site-status handling, pagination, criteria previews, and relevance ordering.openai.yaml contains the Codex skill metadata.Local Markdown mode requires no account, database, or API key. Google Doc mode uses the user's connected Google Drive integration; if it is not connected, the skill asks the user to enable it before writing. The trial-search helper requires no API key, uses only Python's standard library, and requires Python 3.8 or newer.
