PsyTAR Query Skill

SkillDev tools

Query the PsyTAR psychiatric adverse-reaction corpus. Use when the user asks about patient-reported ADRs, withdrawal symptoms, drug indications, or effectiveness for Zoloft, Lexapro, Cymbalta, or Effexor XR. Accepts drug names (brand or generic), symptom terms, or UMLS CUIs.

Instructions available. Your AI can read the instructions. Execution depends on the setup they require.

Add ahel to your AI once: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or Codex. Then ask it to use this.

Then ask your AI: use the PsyTAR Query Skill skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by qsong-github/drugclaw in skills/drug_nlp/psytar/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

891 patient reviews → 6 009 annotated sentences → extracted ADR / WD / SSI / DI entities → mapped to 918 UMLS + 755 SNOMED CT concepts.

API

FunctionInputReturns
search(entity, sheet?, label?)single string{sheet: [row_dict]}
search_batch(entities, sheet?, label?)list of strings{entity: {sheet: [row_dict]}}
summarize(results, entity)result dict + labelcompact text
to_json(results)result dictlist[dict] (flat, adds _sheet)
describe()—dataset overview text

Parameters

  • sheet — restrict to one sheet (fuzzy-matched: "ADR" → ADR_Identified).
  • label — when on Sentence_Labeling, keep only rows where the named label column (ADR / WD / EF / INF / SSI / DI) equals 1.

Usage

from importlib.machinery import SourceFileLoader
m = SourceFileLoader("psytar", "36_PSYTAR.py").load_module()

# overview
print(m.describe())

# drug → ADR mappings
res = m.search("Zoloft", sheet="ADR_Mapped")
print(m.summarize(res, "Zoloft"))

# generic name works too
res = m.search("sertraline", sheet="ADR_Mapped")

# symptom in one Identified sheet
res = m.search("nausea", sheet="ADR_Identified")

# symptom across all sheets
res = m.search("insomnia")

# UMLS CUI (auto-scoped to Mapped sheets)
res = m.search("C0917801")

# withdrawal sentences for Effexor
res = m.search("Effexor", sheet="Sentence_Labeling", label="WD")

# batch
batch = m.search_batch(["Lexapro", "insomnia", "C0917801"])

# JSON for pipeline
flat = m.to_json(m.search("Cymbalta"))
