Overview

This is a clean, markdown-only medical genetics skill pack, but it needs review because several skills give high-impact clinical, reproductive, forensic, or gene-therapy guidance without enough built-in safeguards.

Install only if you intend to use it as educational or clinician-reviewed reference material. Do not rely on it for diagnosis, treatment, pregnancy decisions, forensic or paternity decisions, genetic testing interpretation, or gene-therapy design without qualified medical/genetic/legal oversight and appropriate consent and privacy controls.

Findings (15)

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Confidence: 95% confidence
• Finding: The skill provides genetic risk assessment guidance, recommends gene testing, and links results to preventive strategy decisions, but it does not warn that genetic data is highly sensitive or that interpretation should occur with qualified medical/genetic counseling. In a clinical genetics context, this omission can lead to privacy harm, misinterpretation of probabilistic results such as APOE status, and unsafe self-directed medical decisions.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Confidence: 93% confidence
• Finding: The skill produces quantitative genetic counseling outputs such as revised carrier probability and recurrence risk, but it does not state that these calculations are informational and must be interpreted by qualified clinicians or genetic counselors. In a medical-genetics context, users may over-trust the output as definitive clinical guidance, which can lead to inappropriate reproductive, diagnostic, or counseling decisions if pedigree assumptions, penetrance, phenotyping, or inheritance model details are incomplete or wrong.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Confidence: 95% confidence
• Finding: The skill explicitly claims it can predict disease susceptibility and guide nutritional or exercise interventions based on DNA methylation findings, but it does not include clear medical-safety limitations, uncertainty disclosures, or a requirement for clinician oversight. In a clinical genetics context, users may over-trust epigenetic associations that are tissue-specific, probabilistic, and often not validated for standalone diagnosis or treatment decisions, creating a real risk of harmful self-management or inappropriate medical guidance.

Missing User Warnings

High

• Confidence: 97% confidence
• Finding: This skill provides operational guidance for forensic identification and paternity testing using human genetic data, but it omits essential safeguards around informed consent, lawful authority, chain of custody, privacy protection, and limits on use. Because genetic data is uniquely identifying and highly sensitive, users could apply the workflow in unauthorized investigations, non-consensual relationship testing, or improper evidence handling, creating serious legal, ethical, and privacy harms.

Missing User Warnings

High

• Confidence: 97% confidence
• Finding: The skill gives procedural guidance for selecting candidates, cloning genes, transducing target cells, and validating therapeutic effect for gene augmentation therapy, but it does so without any safety gating, clinical-only limitation, or warning about biosafety, medical, and regulatory constraints. In a medical genetics skill, this context makes the omission more dangerous because the content can be interpreted as actionable operational guidance for a high-risk intervention rather than high-level education.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Confidence: 93% confidence
• Finding: The skill processes genomic and health information but does not warn users that these data are highly sensitive, potentially identifiable, and risky to share or retain. In a medical genetics context, omission of privacy and handling cautions can lead users to disclose regulated health data without informed consent or adequate safeguards.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium

• Confidence: 95% confidence
• Finding: The skill explicitly scopes diagnosis and treatment initiation to male patients, even though hemophilia A can also present in females due to skewed X-inactivation, Turner syndrome, homozygosity, or other atypical genetic contexts. In a medical genetics skill, this exclusion is dangerous because it can bias clinical reasoning, delay diagnosis, and withhold appropriate testing or treatment from symptomatic non-male patients with potentially serious bleeding risk.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Confidence: 95% confidence
• Finding: The skill explicitly instructs collection and analysis of highly sensitive health and family-history data for genetic classification, counseling, recurrence-risk estimation, and test selection, but it provides no privacy, consent, minimization, or secure-handling guidance. In a genetics context, this omission is meaningful because genetic and pedigree data can expose not only the patient but also relatives, creating confidentiality, discrimination, and misuse risks if the skill is used operationally.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Confidence: 95% confidence
• Finding: The catalog advertises high-risk medical, prenatal, and gene-editing capabilities as tools for clinical decision support without an explicit limitation that outputs are informational only and require licensed clinician, genetic counselor, and ethics oversight. In this context, users could over-rely on model outputs for pregnancy decisions, diagnosis, or gene-therapy planning, increasing the risk of unsafe medical actions and ethically impermissible recommendations.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Confidence: 96% confidence
• Finding: The skill instructs users to generate disease-risk warnings and biomarker-based recommendations for hypertension, heart failure, and cardiac remodeling without an explicit limitation that these outputs are adjunctive and not sufficient for diagnosis or treatment decisions. In a clinical genetics/medical context, this can encourage overreliance on incompletely validated biomarkers and lead to inappropriate reassurance, escalation, or treatment changes based on a narrow molecular signal.

Vague Triggers

Medium

• Confidence: 88% confidence
• Finding: The activation criteria are broad enough to trigger on very common symptoms like chest pain or dyspnea, as well as generic cardiovascular risk factors, without requiring clear exclusion rules or clinician-gated thresholds. In a clinical skill, this can cause overuse of a specialized biomarker workflow, inappropriate interpretation, and potentially misleading diagnostic support if applied outside validated populations.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Confidence: 95% confidence
• Finding: This skill provides specific reproductive risk estimates and recommends prenatal diagnostic interventions without clearly stating that the content is informational only and not a substitute for clinician-directed genetic counseling. In a medical genetics context, users may over-rely on the simplified 2/18 versus 16/18 framing for real-world reproductive decision-making, which can lead to inappropriate counseling, anxiety, or unsafe care choices if the estimate is applied without case-specific cytogenetic interpretation.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Confidence: 95% confidence
• Finding: The skill explicitly states it is used to guide treatment strategy selection and treatment-plan adjustment, but it does not warn that the output is informational only and not a substitute for clinician assessment. In a psychiatric context, especially schizophrenia staging and symptom classification, oversimplified guidance can influence medication or rehabilitation decisions and create a meaningful risk of harm if relied on without professional judgment.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Confidence: 95% confidence
• Finding: The skill explicitly supports schizophrenia genetic risk assessment and genetic counseling, but it does not warn that susceptibility variants are non-diagnostic, probabilistic, privacy-sensitive, and require qualified clinical interpretation. In a psychiatric-genetics context, omission of these safeguards can lead to overinterpretation, stigma, inappropriate reassurance or alarm, and mishandling of highly sensitive genetic information.

Missing User Warnings

High

• Confidence: 96% confidence
• Finding: The skill provides actionable guidance for designing nucleic-acid and gene-therapy interventions, including suicide-gene/toxin strategies and immune-activating payloads, without any safety constraints, qualified-use limitations, or requirement for specialist oversight. In this context, the omission is dangerous because it can normalize or facilitate high-risk experimental oncology interventions beyond an educational summary, increasing misuse risk in clinical or quasi-clinical settings.
