Symptom Scorer

Use this skill during pre-diagnosis triage (clinic_agent) to assign a structured severity score (0–100) and triage colour (RED/YELLOW/GREEN) to the user's reported symptoms. Invoke automatically when the user has described at least one symptom. The score drives urgency messaging: RED means call 120 immediately, YELLOW means same-day visit, GREEN means watchful waiting. Always show triggered_flags to the user.

Symptom Scorer Skill

Rule-based clinical triage engine that evaluates free-text symptom descriptions against a library of red-flag and yellow-flag patterns, fever thresholds, duration escalation rules, pain scores, and age-specific risk weights.

Scoring Axes

Red-flag keywords — life-threatening signs (chest pain, stroke, severe allergy) → +60 per flag
Yellow-flag keywords — urgent but non-emergency signs → +20 per flag
Fever temperature — parsed from free text (38°C → +8 … ≥40°C → +40)
Symptom duration — >3 days +10, >7 days +20, >2 weeks +30, >1 month +40
Pain scale (NRS 0–10) — mild +8, moderate +15, severe +30
Age modifiers — <3, >75 years → +15; <12, >65 years → +8

Final score is capped at 100.

Required Inputs

symptoms_text — raw symptom description from the user (Chinese or English)

Optional Inputs

pain_scale — 0–10 NRS self-reported pain score
duration_days — symptom duration in days (auto-parsed from text if omitted)
age — patient age for risk weighting

Triage Thresholds

Score	Colour	Action
≥70 or critical flag	🔴 RED	Call 120 immediately
35–69	🟡 YELLOW	See doctor within 4–8 hours
0–34	🟢 GREEN	Watchful waiting 1–3 days

Agent Instructions

List every item in triggered_flags — these explain the urgency to the user

If RED: lead with the emergency call-to-action before any other text
