What this skill does
DICOM Metadata Extract Purpose Used for extracting selected metadata from one DICOM file and flagging standard-tag PHI presence. Not for anonymization or clinical use. Use the wrapper exactly as documented; do not replace the upstream entrypoint with a handwritten implementation. Manifest I/O: inputs are dicompath; outputs are metadatajson. Instructions Read skillmanifest.yaml before changing arguments, side effects, or validation gates. Run scripts/extractmetadata.py through the documented command below; keep outputs under a caller-provided run directory. If a host agent exposes runscript, use runscript("scripts/extractmetadata.py", args=[...]); otherwise run the Bash/Python command shown below. Check the emitted JSON and run medagent.verifiers.dicommetadataqualityv1 on evidence packs before treating the run as reviewed evidence. Available Scripts Script Purpose Arguments --- --- --- scripts/extractmetadata.py Primary entrypoint declared by skillmanifest.yaml. PATHTODICOM [--output OUT.json] Prerequisites Runtime requirements: Python packages listed in runtime.sideeffects.pippackages. Run commands from the repository root unless an existing section below says otherwise. Limitations Small PS3.15-inspired standard-tag subset only; not a complete Basic Application Confidentiality Profile implementation. Private tags not checked Burnt-in pixel PHI not detected Multi-frame handling minimal Not for clinical deployment, regulatory de-identification, autonomous diagnosis, patient-facing use. Troubleshooting Error Cause Fix --- --- --- Missing dependency or import error Runtime package drift from skillmanifest.yaml. Install the packages declared in the manifest or use the documented setup command. Empty or schema-invalid output Wrong input path, unsupported modality, or upstream failure. Re-run with a known fixture and inspect the wrapper JSON plus stderr. Validation gate failure Output violated a declared engineering invariant. …
