Life Sciences: Adverse Event Triage with Codex: SKILL.md Template
A production playbook for adverse event triage in life sciences operations using Codex: skill.md template, run-scoped inputs, logs, typed results, and artifacts.
Audience: Pharmacovigilance teams
The problem
Pharmacovigilance teams need adverse event triage to run repeatedly against case narratives, intake forms, medical history, and reporting rules. In life sciences 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 case narratives, intake forms, medical history, and reporting rules per run, and let Argo turn the folder into a repeatable Codex 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 adverse event triage, 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 adverse event triage using Codex.
Read only /skill/.argo/inputs.
Write artifacts to /skill/output/artifacts.
Return argo.result.v1 with body.type = "pharma_adverse_event_triage".
Run this on Argo
