Aidbox Skill

AI agent skill for developing healthcare applications with Aidbox FHIR server.

What This Skill Provides

This skill teaches AI agents (Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, etc.) about Aidbox-specific features:

• AccessPolicy - Matcho patterns, SQL engine, request object structure
• SQL API - Direct PostgreSQL queries, AidboxQuery, SQL on FHIR
• Bulk Operations - $import (21K/sec), $export, $load, $dump
• MCP Setup - Connect AI agents to Aidbox FHIR data
• Troubleshooting - Common issues and solutions

The skill does NOT teach standard FHIR (agents already know it well).

Installation

Option 1: Claude Code Marketplace

# 1. Add repository as marketplace
/plugin marketplace add HealthSamurai/aidbox-skill

Usage Examples

Once installed, the skill activates automatically when you ask about Aidbox:

"Create an AccessPolicy for patient to see only their own data"
"How do I import 1 million FHIR resources quickly?"
"Why is my Patient search slow?"
"Set up MCP for Claude Desktop"

Or invoke manually:

/aidbox-development
