imaging-data-commons
About
This skill enables programmatic querying and downloading of public cancer imaging datasets (CT, MR, PET, pathology) from the NCI Imaging Data Commons via the `idc-index` Python package. It's designed for developers building AI models or conducting research, allowing metadata-based searches, browser visualization, and license checks without authentication. Use it to efficiently access large-scale, curated medical imaging data for analysis and training.

Use the executing-plans skill when you have a complete implementation plan to execute in controlled batches with review checkpoints. It loads and critically reviews the plan, then executes tasks in small batches (default 3 tasks) while reporting progress between each batch for architect review. This ensures systematic implementation with built-in quality control checkpoints.
This skill dispatches a code-reviewer subagent to analyze code changes against requirements before proceeding. It should be used after completing tasks, implementing major features, or before merging to main. The review helps catch issues early by comparing the current implementation with the original plan.
This skill provides a comprehensive guide for developers to connect MCP servers to Claude Code using HTTP, stdio, or SSE transports. It covers installation, configuration, authentication, and security for integrating external services like GitHub, Notion, and custom APIs. Use it when setting up MCP integrations, configuring external tools, or working with Claude's Model Context Protocol.
This skill helps developers choose between Claude Code Web and CLI interfaces based on task analysis, then enables seamless session teleportation between these environments. It optimizes workflow by managing session state and context when switching between web, CLI, or mobile. Use it for complex projects requiring different tools at various stages.
