Prior Authorization Packet Review with Claude Code: SKILL.md Template
A production playbook for prior authorization packet review in cross-industry operations using Claude Code: skill.md template, run-scoped inputs, logs, typed results, and artifacts.
Audience: Healthcare operations teams
The problem
Healthcare operations teams need prior authorization packet review to run repeatedly against clinical notes, forms, payer rules, and attachments. In cross-industry operations, the pain is not one good answer; it is repeatability, auditability, exception handling, and evidence that survives handoff.
Implementation path
Put the operating procedure in SKILL.md, keep examples beside the skill, attach clinical notes, forms, payer rules, and attachments per run, and let Argo turn the folder into a repeatable Claude Code execution.
Tradeoffs and failure modes
A skill folder is less flexible than an open chat, but it gives the product a versioned workflow that can be tested and rolled back. For prior authorization packet review, the practical test is whether a second run can be debugged, retried, and consumed by a product without reading the raw agent transcript.
SKILL.md starter
# SKILL.md
You run prior authorization packet review using Claude Code.
Read only /skill/.argo/inputs.
Write artifacts to /skill/output/artifacts.
Return argo.result.v1 with body.type = "medical_prior_auth".
Run this on Argo
