All 3 Demographic and Health Surveys skills

Each skill is one job. You ask in plain words and the agent loads the skill that matches, then follows its steps.

Start hereRead-only13 Demographic and Health Surveys tools

Use the DHS Program connector with AI

Finds and reads published demographic and health survey indicators by country and survey year, with sample sizes and caveats. It only reads survey data and asks before running any tool that would change something.

Use it when

A researcher needs under-five mortality for a set of countries.
A student wants to know which surveys cover child stunting.
An analyst needs to check whether a figure has a sample size behind it before quoting it.

Tools it uses

list_dhs_countries
get_dhs_indicator_profile
search_dhs_indicators_by_text
list_dhs_indicators
list_dhs_tags
list_dhs_surveys
list_dhs_survey_characteristics
search_dhs_indicator_data
resolve_dhs_filters
list_dhs_datasets
list_dhs_publications
list_dhs_geometry
list_dhs_data_updates

Example

What was the under-five mortality rate in Kenya in the most recent DHS survey, and how many children was it based on?

The most recent Kenya survey I found for under-five mortality is the 2022 round, which reports a national rate of about 41 deaths per 1,000 live births. The figure comes from a sample of roughly 8,000 children under five, so national estimates are reasonably stable, but regional breakdowns would be less so. This is a survey estimate from a fixed round, not a current reading.

Read-only7 Demographic and Health Surveys tools

Compare a health indicator's trend across countries with AI

Builds a like-for-like table of one DHS indicator across countries or survey rounds, with sample sizes, confidence intervals and comparability caveats. It only reads data and never changes anything.

Use it when

You want to see how under-five mortality has changed across several countries
You need to compare stunting between two survey rounds in one country
You are unsure whether two survey rounds can be placed side by side

Tools it uses

search_dhs_indicators_by_text
get_dhs_indicator_profile
list_dhs_countries
list_dhs_surveys
list_dhs_survey_characteristics
resolve_dhs_filters
search_dhs_indicator_data

Example

Compare under-five mortality across Kenya, Ghana and Nepal over their last two survey rounds, and tell me which changes are clear.

Under-five mortality, total population, 2014 to 2022. Kenya fell from 52 to 41 deaths per 1,000 live births, with non-overlapping intervals, so that decline is clear. Ghana's change from 60 to 56 overlaps its intervals and is not clearly different. The Nepal 2016 round covers a restricted sample, so it is flagged and shown without a trend line.

Check whether DHS survey data exists before you analyse it

Confirms whether a country, health indicator and survey year have actual DHS Program data, which rounds and breakdowns cover it, and what is missing, ending in a clear go or no-go note. It reads the data and changes nothing.

Use it when

Before building a table, checking whether an indicator exists for a country and year
Deciding which survey rounds can support a planned analysis
Finding out whether a recent data revision affects the figures you plan to cite

Tools it uses

list_dhs_countries
list_dhs_surveys
get_dhs_indicator_profile
search_dhs_indicators_by_text
search_dhs_indicator_data
resolve_dhs_filters
get_dhs_data_availability
list_dhs_tags
list_dhs_datasets
list_dhs_data_updates
list_dhs_publications
list_dhs_geometry

Example

Is there DHS data on stunting for Kenya in the 2010 to 2022 surveys, including rural and urban breakdowns? I want to decide if the analysis is feasible.

Go with caveats. Stunting is measured in the Kenya surveys for 2014 and 2022, but the 2010 round did not collect it, so the series covers two rounds. Urban and rural breakdowns return values for both. One update touches the 2022 subnational cells, so cite the revised release date.

How Demographic and Health Surveys skills work

Connect Demographic and Health Surveys
The Demographic and Health Surveys MCP server gives the agent its tools.
Ask in plain words
“Compare under-five mortality across Kenya, Ghana and Nepal over their last two survey rounds, and tell me which changes are clear.” Each SKILL.md says when it applies, so only the one that fits is loaded.
Approve any change
The agent calls the tools in order, checks its work, and shows you any change before it makes it.

How to install Demographic and Health Surveys skills

In RevampKey the skills install themselves when you connect Demographic and Health Surveys. In other tools each skill is one folder with a SKILL.md file, and you also need the Demographic and Health Surveys MCP server connected there.

Demographic and Health Surveys skills FAQ

What is a Demographic and Health Surveys agent skill?

A SKILL.md file: a short playbook an AI agent loads when your request matches it. Each Demographic and Health Surveys skill describes one job, which Demographic and Health Surveys tools to use in which order, what to check first and when to stop and ask you.

Do the Demographic and Health Surveys skills change anything on their own?

3 of the 3 only read. The others tell the agent to show you the change and wait for a yes before it creates, edits or deletes anything in Demographic and Health Surveys.

Which tools can use these skills?

Any agent that reads the open Agent Skills format: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code with Copilot and RevampKey. In RevampKey they are attached when you connect Demographic and Health Surveys; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

Do I need the Demographic and Health Surveys MCP server too?

Yes. The skills tell the agent how to do the work; the Demographic and Health Surveys MCP server gives it the tools to do it. The Demographic and Health Surveys MCP setup guide covers every client.
