  "faqs": [
    {
      "question": "Are these Skills HIPAA-compliant?",
      "answer": "The Skills themselves are policy-neutral. HIPAA compliance depends on the agent runtime, data handling, and BAAs you have in place. Skills that touch PHI are flagged as requiring extra review."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can these Skills replace medical literature review?",
      "answer": "No — they accelerate the work (find papers, cluster findings, generate first-pass summaries) but a clinician or scientist must verify every claim before action."
    },
    {
      "question": "Do they handle clinical-trial data?",
      "answer": "Several Skills parse trial protocols, extract endpoints, and synthesize results across trials. They are research aids, not regulatory submissions."
    },
    {
      "question": "Are FDA/EMA workflows supported?",
      "answer": "Limited — some Skills produce document templates aligned to common submission formats. Real regulatory work requires specialized teams and validated systems."
    },
    {
      "question": "How do these Skills handle citations?",
      "answer": "The top Skills produce citations with DOIs and PubMed IDs and refuse to fabricate sources. Lower-ranked Skills sometimes hallucinate references — a known failure mode in medical AI work."
