2 things to look at
- no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
- 0 stars0 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.
What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
Suggests SNOMED CT and ICD-O-3 morphology/topography codes for pathology diagnoses, procedures, and biomarkers, with hierarchical parent/child relationships and synonyms. Use when the user asks "SNOMED code for [diagnosis]", "ICD-O-3 code for [tumor type]", "what's the code for invasive ductal carcinoma", "code this diagnosis", "morphology code for", or any pathology-coding lookup. Supports common cancer diagnoses (breast, colorectal, pancreas, gastric, prostate, lung, lymphoma, GIST) and standard pathology procedures.
The file declares its own license as MIT. That is the author’s claim about this one file, and it is not the same thing as the license GitHub reports for the repository, which is listed with the other numbers below.

Pathology Coder
SNOMED CT and ICD-O-3 coding suggestions for pathology reports with clinical context.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill for:
- LIS integration and coding
- Tumor registry reporting
- Billing support
- Standardizing terminology
- Teaching pathology coding
Supported Code Systems
- SNOMED CT: Morphology, topography, procedures, qualifiers
- ICD-O-3: Morphology codes with behavior, topography codes
Key Features
- Diagnosis Coding: Tumor type, grade, behavior codes
- Procedure Coding: Specimen types, special stains, IHC
- Biomarker Coding: ER/PR/HER2/MSI/MMR codes
- Hierarchical Relationships: Parent concepts, synonyms
- Multi-code Support: Combined diagnoses and qualifiers

Processing Instructions
- Parse diagnosis/procedure from user input
- Load code table from shared-references
- Look up SNOMED CT code and ICD-O-3 if applicable
- Provide hierarchical context: Parent concepts, synonyms
- Output: Code(s) with descriptions and relationships
Common Tumor Type Codes
Loaded on-demand from reference file when needed:
- Breast carcinoma codes
- Colorectal carcinoma codes
- Pancreas carcinoma codes
- Gastric carcinoma codes
Output Format
For each code suggestion:
- SNOMED CT: [Code] | [Preferred term] | [Hierarchy]
- ICD-O-3: [Morphology/Behavior] | [Topography] | [Description]
