PopHIVE agent skills for Claude Code, Cursor and RevampKey

3 ready-made playbooks that teach an AI agent how to do real PopHIVE work: which tools to call, what to check first, and when to stop and ask you.

Connect PopHIVE once and all 3 skills install themselves and stay up to date. Mac, Windows and Linux.

All 3 PopHIVE 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-only7 PopHIVE tools

Use PopHIVE for US public-health questions

Guides an AI assistant through PopHIVE's read-only US surveillance tools, choosing the right verdict tool, reading the evidence envelope and keeping answers within aggregate-data limits. It never changes data and gives no clinical advice.

Use it when

You want to know how a respiratory or vaccine-preventable disease is doing in your state
You need to check which US counties are highest on a disease right now
You want to know whether two surveillance sources agree for the same place

Tools it uses

get_overview
get_current_status
get_trend
get_map
compare
get_coverage
get_data

Example

How is COVID doing in Texas right now, and how current is that data?

Texas COVID activity is currently rising from a low base, though still well below its two-year peak. The latest observation is dated 3 weeks ago, so this is the most recent verdict available, not today's situation. Wastewater and emergency-department signals point the same way; the data cannot show why activity is changing.

Read-only3 PopHIVE tools

Compare US places or surveillance sources, with the caveats that matter

Compares one disease across US states, counties or sources, reads rankings and correlations with their caveats, and states how confident the conclusion is. It is read-only and does not change any data.

Use it when

Asking which states or counties are highest or lowest on a disease right now
Checking whether wastewater and emergency-department data agree in one state
Comparing a disease across two to five places against the national figure

Tools it uses

compare
get_map
get_coverage

Example

Which states have the highest RSV right now, and can I trust that ranking?

The top five states on RSV are within about 3 points of each other, so I would call them effectively tied rather than naming one worst. Texas and Florida carry the highest recent values, but their data ends on different dates, so I compared only the overlapping window. Confidence is medium: the order within the top group is noise, and one source is lagged.

Surveillance situation brief for a US state or nation

Builds a cross-disease brief for one US state or the nation from PopHIVE, ranking what is elevated, rising, or stale, confirming the top items, and stating what the data cannot yet say. Read-only, and it never gives clinical advice.

Use it when

A health department analyst wants a quick sitrep for their state
A journalist asks what is elevated nationally this week
A researcher wants an overview of disease signals before a deeper dive

Tools it uses

get_overview
get_current_status
get_trend

Example

What's going on across diseases in Connecticut right now?

Connecticut data is current through the latest reporting date. Two items are elevated and confirmed: COVID-19 is high relative to its two-year peak and still rising, and RSV is elevated but declining. Influenza is rising from a low base and is on watch. Three diseases are stale, so their current state is unknown. The data cannot say why these trends are occurring.

How PopHIVE skills work

Connect PopHIVE
The PopHIVE MCP server gives the agent its tools.
Ask in plain words
“Which states have the highest RSV right now, and can I trust that ranking?” 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 PopHIVE skills

PopHIVE skills FAQ

What is a PopHIVE agent skill?

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

Do the PopHIVE 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 PopHIVE.

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 PopHIVE; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

Do I need the PopHIVE MCP server too?

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