Dr Ralph Marketplace

Install a Claude Code plugin that runs a structured, research-backed medical symptom interview and outputs SOAP-style reports for education—not for replacing clinicians.

Overview

Dr. Ralph is a plugin marketplace for the build phase that adds a Claude Code medical-education diagnostic agent with a 5-phase workflow ending in SOAP reports.

What is this marketplace?

  • 5-phase diagnostic workflow: Interview → Research → Differential Diagnosis → Treatment Plan → SOAP Report
  • Slash commands /dr-ralph:diagnose and /dr-ralph:cancel with optional --patient case labeling
  • Patient case management and SOAP report formatting baked into the plugin workflow
  • Iterates via Claude Code Stop hooks until the workflow reaches a convincing differential and plan
  • Single-plugin marketplace (dr-ralph) installable from GitHub marketplace add + plugin install
  • 1 plugin in marketplace
  • 5-phase diagnostic process
  • 2 primary slash commands (diagnose, cancel)

Compatible agents: Claude Code

Community signal: 33 GitHub stars.

What problem does it solve?

You want to explore structured diagnostic reasoning inside Claude Code without hand-rolling interview scripts, research steps, and report templates every time.

Who is it for?

Developers building health-education demos, studying multi-phase agent hooks, or prototyping informational triage UX on Claude Code with clear non-medical disclaimers.

Skip if: Solo builders shipping typical SaaS or CMS products, patients seeking care, or teams that need HIPAA-compliant clinical decision support.

What do I get? / Deliverables

After install, you can start a guided case from a symptom string, let the agent iterate through phases, and receive a structured SOAP-style summary for review—not for clinical decision-making.

  • Completed multi-phase case run with differential and treatment plan narrative
  • SOAP-formatted report tied to an optional patient label
  • Cancelable in-flight session via /dr-ralph:cancel

Plugins in this marketplace

1 plugin — install individually after you add the marketplace.

Journey fit

Catalog shelf is build/agent-tooling because Dr. Ralph ships as a Claude Code plugin with slash commands and Stop-hook-driven phases, not as a standalone app you deploy. It extends the coding agent with domain workflows (/dr-ralph:diagnose, /dr-ralph:cancel), matching agent-tooling rather than frontend or backend product code.

How it compares

Vertical medical-education agent plugin, not a general dev skills marketplace or MCP server pack.
