Dev open-sources free AI skill that helps cancer patients and caregivers navigate medical decisions
Scobleizer · x · 2026-11-05
petergyang shared a free, open-source AI skill (fuck-cancer, MIT licensed, 166 stars on GitHub) built while helping his own mom fight cancer. It creates and maintains a practical brief to help patients and caregivers advocate for themselves.
- Born from his own experience: after sharing his mom's story, many caregivers reached out facing scattered, confusing medical information.
- The tool distills everything into three core questions: what to do next, what we know, and how to advocate.
- He notes 2 in 5 Americans will get cancer in their lifetime, so nearly every family is affected.
- hnshah (boosted by Scobleizer) called it "one of the most meaningful uses of AI" he has seen.
