TCM Clinic Management System

Overview

This Skill provides lightweight, full-process management for a solo TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) practitioner, covering five modules:

| Module | Trigger Words | |--------|---------------| | πŸ₯ Patient Records | new patient, register patient, find patient, search patient | | πŸ“‹ Medical Charts | write chart, four examinations, pattern differentiation, prescription, medical history | | 🌿 Herbal Inventory | stock in, restock, check inventory, low stock alert, dispense | | πŸ“… Appointments | appointment, schedule, today's appointments, booking | | πŸ’° Finances & Billing | charge, bill, billing, statistics, monthly report, financial report |

All data is stored as structured Excel files in the clinic_data/ directory.

When to Run

  • User wants to register a new patient or look up patient information
  • User needs to record or review medical charts or prescriptions
  • User mentions herbal stock-in, inventory checks, or low-stock alerts
  • User needs to manage appointments or view today's schedule
  • User requests billing, charges, or income reports
  • User initiates a "consultation" request (one-stop visit workflow)
  • User requests "initialize clinic" (first-time setup)
  • Workflow

    Initialize New Clinic

    On first use or when the user requests "initialize", execute:

    python3 SKILL_DIR/scripts/clinic_manager.py init
    

    This creates the clinic_data/ directory in the current working directory, containing 5 empty data tables (header rows only).

    Script Invocation Convention

    Use the bash tool to execute commands in the following format:

    python3 SKILL_DIR/scripts/clinic_manager.py   [options...]
    

    > SKILL_DIR must be replaced with the actual installation path of the Skill. > For example: ~/.codebuddy/skills/tcm-clinic or ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/tcm-clinic

    #### Common Commands

    # Initialize
    python3 SKILL_DIR/scripts/clinic_manager.py init

    Patient management

    python3 SKILL_DIR/scripts/clinic_manager.py patients add --name "John Smith" --gender "Male" --phone "555-0100" python3 SKILL_DIR/scripts/clinic_manager.py patients search --name "John" python3 SKILL_DIR/scripts/clinic_manager.py patients list

    Medical records

    python3 SKILL_DIR/scripts/clinic_manager.py records add --patient-id "P20260402001" --complaint "Headache for 3 days" --diagnosis "Wind-cold headache" python3 SKILL_DIR/scripts/clinic_manager.py records search --patient-id "P20260402001"

    Herbal inventory

    python3 SKILL_DIR/scripts/clinic_manager.py herbs add --name "Astragalus (Huangqi)" --quantity 500 --unit "g" --category "Qi tonic" --purchase-price 0.15 --min-stock 100 python3 SKILL_DIR/scripts/clinic_manager.py herbs update --herb-id "H001" --quantity -50 python3 SKILL_DIR/scripts/clinic_manager.py herbs alerts python3 SKILL_DIR/scripts/clinic_manager.py herbs list

    Appointments

    python3 SKILL_DIR/scripts/clinic_manager.py appointments add --patient-id "P20260402001" --time-slot "Morning" python3 SKILL_DIR/scripts/clinic_manager.py appointments today

    Usage Strategy

  • Simple queries and standard CRUD: Call script commands directly, parse JSON output
  • Complex business logic (e.g., one-stop consultation, multi-module workflows): Combine conversational interaction with script commands; query data first, then process
  • Report generation: Scripts provide basic statistics; further format as Markdown tables
  • Data Operation Principles

    1. Pre-use check: Confirm clinic_data/ directory exists; if not, prompt user to initialize 2. Create operations: Auto-generate IDs, validate required fields, append new rows 3. Update operations: Locate target row by ID, update only specified fields 4. Delete operations: Mark as "void" or "cancelled"; no physical deletion 5. Linked updates: When adding a medical record, auto-update patient's last_visit_date and visit_count

    One-Stop Consultation Workflow

    When the user initiates a "consultation" request, execute in order:

    1. Confirm or select patient (choose from existing patients or create new record) 2. Review patient's historical medical chart summary (most recent diagnosis and prescription) 3. Record current visit's four examination findings (inspection, auscultation/olfaction, inquiry, palpation), pattern differentiation, and prescription 4. Calculate fees (consultation fee + herbal cost, etc.) and generate financial record 5. If herbal prescription is involved, auto-deduct corresponding herb stock and check low-stock alerts 6. Output complete summary of this consultation

    ID Generation Rules

  • Patient ID: P + YYYYMMDD + 3-digit sequence (e.g., P20260402001)
  • Record ID: R + YYYYMMDD + 3-digit sequence
  • Appointment ID: A + YYYYMMDD + 3-digit sequence
  • Finance ID: F + YYYYMMDD + 3-digit sequence
  • Herb ID: H + 3-digit sequence (e.g., H001, no date prefix)
  • Sequence number auto-increments from existing data
  • Data Field Reference

    Before performing data operations, read references/data-schema.md for complete field definitions (field name, type, required/optional, value ranges).

    Main data tables:

  • clinic_data/patients.xlsx β€” Patient information (name, gender, age, contact, constitution type, allergies, etc.)
  • clinic_data/medical_records.xlsx β€” Medical records (four examination findings, pattern differentiation, prescription, medical advice)
  • clinic_data/herbs_inventory.xlsx β€” Herbal inventory (herb name, specification, stock quantity, price, expiry date, minimum stock)
  • clinic_data/appointments.xlsx β€” Appointments (date, time slot, patient, status)
  • clinic_data/finances.xlsx β€” Financial records (visit ID, fee type, amount, payment method)
  • Output Format

  • Query results displayed as Markdown tables with key data in bold
  • Amounts precise to cents (e.g., $120.50 or Β₯120.50)
  • Dates in YYYY-MM-DD format
  • Low-stock alerts marked with ⚠️
  • Successful operations marked with βœ…
  • Errors marked with ❌
  • Use TCM professional terminology in conversation (Four Examinations, pattern differentiation, treatment principles and formulas)
  • Interaction Style

  • Conversational yet professional
  • When recording data, if user hasn't provided required fields, proactively ask for clarification
  • Briefly confirm operation details before executing write operations
  • Financial reports grouped by fee type and payment method, showing percentages
