AWS released a collection of 38 open-source agent skills covering 11 healthcare and life-sciences domains, including genomics, drug discovery, claims operations and medical imaging. The markdown skills encode decision procedures, parameters and validation criteria for use at inference time and are licensed MIT-0. AWS reported that skill-equipped agents won 70-86% of head-to-head comparisons against agents without the skills, depending on the agent-harness setup.
