1 skill 178

`npx skilld add drcathicks/informed-patient --all`

- [/informed-patient](https://skilld.dev/gh/drcathicks/informed-patient)

  Use when the user explicitly asks to use the informed-patient skill to prepare for a medical appointment, organize symptoms before seeing a doctor, or evaluate the evidence behind a diagnosis or treatment. Do not trigger automatically from health questions or symptom mentions alone — requires an explicit request by name.
