Introduction

Chronic diseases (such as hypertension and diabetes) require long-term monitoring, lifestyle adjustments, and regular follow-ups. However, many people lack a reusable recording template and reminder checklist. Starting from scratch each time makes it easy to miss items and hinders effective communication with family members or doctors during consultations.

Below is an introduction to the community Skill “Chronic Disease Management” (@user_70c2f807/chronic-disease-management) on SkillHub. It utilizes a standard SKILL.md to define the Agent’s trigger conditions and output structure, organizing key daily management points into a fixed format. It is designed to assist with management, not replace medical diagnosis or treatment.

What is this

“Chronic Disease Management” is an Agent Skill sourced from the SkillHub community (community), categorized as professional. The current version is 1.0.0, published by user_70c2f807. The Skill identifies itself as a tool for the daily management of diseases such as hypertension and diabetes, targeting issues like “poor chronic disease control” and the need for “structured records and lifestyle reminders.”

Core Functions

According to the SKILL.md within the Skill package, the capability boundaries are as follows.

When to Enable

The Agent should load this Skill when the user mentions “Chronic Disease Management,” “Chronic Diseases” (Chinese or English), or inquires about how to manage a chronic condition.

What is Explicitly Not Covered

The Skill instructions explicitly state: Not for medical diagnosis, formulation of pharmaceutical treatment plans, or handling of acute attacks. Statements regarding medication and follow-ups in the output are primarily for “reminders and record-keeping” and should not be used as a basis for clinical decision-making.

Output Structure

The Agent organizes the response according to the template specified in the Skill, primarily including:

  1. Hypertension Management: A monitoring table for morning and evening blood pressure/heart rate (Date, Time, Systolic Pressure, Diastolic Pressure, Heart Rate), along with lifestyle items such as a low-salt diet, exercise, weight management, smoking cessation, limited alcohol consumption, and stress reduction.
  2. Diabetes Management: Target ranges for fasting and 2-hour postprandial blood glucose (reference values provided in the Skill), along with dietary principles such as calorie control, Low GI, regular and measured intake, and eating smaller, more frequent meals.
  3. Medication Reminders: General reminders to take medication on time, not to stop medication without authorization, to undergo regular follow-ups, and to record any physical discomfort.
  4. Review Plan: Frequency reminders such as daily blood pressure checks, blood glucose checks according to medical advice, blood lipid checks every 3–6 months, and renal function checks every 6–12 months.
  5. Warning Signs: A list of situations requiring immediate medical attention (e.g., blood pressure >180/120, blood glucose too low or too high, chest pain, dizziness, blurred vision, etc.).

The numerical values and items above are derived from the Skill body; however, usage should always be subject to personal medical advice and local guidelines.

Installation and Activation

Method 1: Let the Agent install via official prompts

The installation prompt provided on the SkillHub page is: Ask the Agent to install @user_70c2f807/chronic-disease-management according to the SkillHub Installation Documentation.

Method 2: Use the skillhub CLI

First, check if the CLI is available:

command -v skillhub && skillhub --version

If not installed, follow the official documentation to execute (full installation example):

curl -fsSL https://skillhub-1388575217.cos.ap-guangzhou.myqcloud.com/install/install.sh | bash

When installing the Skill, you must use --dir to point to the current Agent’s skills directory; otherwise, it defaults to ./skills/, which may not be recognized. The community package coordinates are @user_70c2f807/chronic-disease-management. Common CLI syntax is as follows (subject to your local skillhub resolution):

skillhub install @user_70c2f807/chronic-disease-management --dir ~/.cursor/skills/

Skills directories for various clients (excerpted from official installation documentation):

  • Cursor: ~/.cursor/skills/
  • Claude Code: ~/.claude/skills/
  • Codex: ~/.codex/skills/ or .agents/skills/ within the project

After installation, activate it according to the Skill loading method of your client (e.g., by mentioning trigger words in a new conversation or confirming that the directory has been scanned by the Agent).

Typical Usage

In a conversation where the Skill is enabled, simply trigger it using natural language, for example:

  • “Help me create a daily monitoring and lifestyle checklist for hypertension.”
  • “How to record blood sugar and diet for diabetes daily? Organize it in a table.”
  • “chronic disease daily management checklist”

The Agent should output the “Chronic Disease Management” structure defined in the Skill: monitoring tables, lifestyle/dietary principles, medication and review reminders, warning signs, etc. You simply need to replace placeholders like [Date] or [X] with your actual measured data or medical requirements.

Applicable Scenarios and Notes

Who is it for

  • Home users or health education scenarios that need to organize daily chronic disease management into a fixed template.
  • Developers or content editors who want to repeatedly generate recording tables and reminder checklists using the same structure within Agents that support Skills (like Cursor or Claude Code).

Limitations and Notes

  • The Skill does not provide diagnosis or prescriptions; seek medical attention for emergencies or abnormal indicators. The “Warning Signs” in the Skill are for general reference only.
  • This is a community Skill; the maintenance rhythm depends on the publisher. Refer to SkillHub and the _meta.json inside the package for the version (currently 1.0.0).
  • SkillHub page statistics (as of crawl): Rating 100000, approximately 825 downloads; installation counts are subject to the platform display.

Conclusion

“Chronic Disease Management” consolidates the recording tables, lifestyle key points, review plans, and medical warning signs of chronic disease daily management into a single SKILL.md. It is suitable for on-demand triggering within Agents that support Skills.
