# fda-analyst
A skill for analyzing FDA novel drug approvals. Powered by the [trove project](https://github.com/cbetz/trove)'s curated index of recent FDA approvals plus the actual approval-package documents on accessdata.fda.gov.
## When to use this skill
Invoke when the user asks about:
- **A specific FDA-approved drug** — what was the basis for approval, what trials supported it, what endpoints were used.
- **Adverse events the FDA flagged** at approval (read from the medical review, not the label).
- **Regulatory pathway** — was it accelerated approval, breakthrough, priority review, fast track.
- **Approval-document content** — anything in the medical review, statistical review, pharmacology review, chemistry review.
- **Cross-drug comparisons** along regulatory dimensions.
## Don't use this skill for
- **Clinical advice or dosing.** This is a reference tool over public approval documents, not a substitute for the prescribing label or clinical judgment.
- **Drugs approved before 2021.** The current trove index covers 2021–2024 only. Earlier drugs aren't in the published bundle yet.
- **Devices, biosimilars, generics, or supplemental approvals.** Out of scope. Vaccines and blood products are also out of scope — trove ingests only the CBER cell & gene therapy page, not the broader CBER vaccines/blood list.
- **Devices, biosimilars, or generic (ANDA) approvals.** Out of scope — the trove index covers FDA's curated "Novel Drug Approvals" lists (NMEs and novel BLAs)
