SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill guides the creation of a new disorder YAML file in the dismech knowledge base, ensuring naming consistency, non-existence checks, and an initial structure that aligns with project conventions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guides clinicians and curators to format the disorder name in title case, generate the initial kb/disorders YAML file, and align with the project conventions.
  • Provides a skeleton that is immediately compatible with the LinkML schema and ready for subsequent deep research, evidence gathering, and validation steps.
  • Useful when a user asks to create a new disorder entry or to enhance an existing one, ensuring research-first preparation.

Quick Start

Provide the disorder name, confirm non-existence, and generate an initial YAML skeleton for a new disorder in kb/disorders.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a new disorder YAML entry in a knowledge base?

To create a new disorder YAML entry, this skill automates the initial setup of a skeleton file in the dismech knowledge base. It formats the disorder name in title case and generates a structure ready for research and validation.

What is the correct YAML structure for adding a new disorder entry?

The correct YAML structure for a new disorder entry aligns with the project's LinkML schema. This skill generates an initial skeleton that ensures naming consistency and compatibility for subsequent evidence insertion.

Do I need to check if a disorder already exists before creating a YAML file?

Yes, you need to check if a disorder already exists before creating a YAML file. This skill performs non-existence checks against the kb/disorders directory to prevent duplicate entries and maintain knowledge base integrity.

Can I use this to generate a skeleton for deep research and evidence gathering?

Yes, you can use this to generate a skeleton for deep research and evidence gathering. The created YAML file provides an initial structure that is immediately compatible with downstream validation steps.

What's the best way to ensure naming consistency when initiating a new disorder?

The best way to ensure naming consistency when initiating a new disorder is using an automated setup tool. This skill guides clinicians to format names in title case and aligns entries with project conventions.

Why does my disorder creation fail when the entry already exists in the knowledge base?

Disorder creation fails when the entry already exists because this skill applies non-existence checks. It is designed only for scenarios where a user requests creation of a disorder not yet present in the knowledge base.
