fmri-skill SKILL.md skillA

fmri-skill from cuhk-aim-group/neurodiscovery is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

mdr add cuhk-aim-group/neurodiscovery/fmri-skill@git:20260506.86420c0

Pins git:20260506.86420c0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use this skill whenever the user wants to perform fMRI preprocessing, first-level analysis, ROI extraction, functional connectivity, effective connectivity, or atlas-based alignment to MNI152 space using either fMRIPrep, HCP-style pipelines, or CONN Toolbox. Triggers include: 'fmri', 'fMRI analysis', 'functional connectivity', 'effective connectivity', 'ROI extraction', 'seed-based correlation', 'PPI', 'DCM', 'atlas alignment', 'MNI152', 'HCP pipeline', 'CONN toolbox', or any request involving…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# fMRI Skill (Modality Layer)

## Overview

`fmri-skill` is the NeuroClaw **modality-layer** interface skill responsible for all fMRI data processing and analysis tasks.

It strictly follows the NeuroClaw hierarchical design principles:
- This skill **only describes WHAT needs to be done** and **which tool skill to delegate to**.
- It contains **no implementation code or concrete commands**.
- All concrete execution is delegated to existing base/tool skills: `fmriprep-tool`, `hcppipeline-tool`, `conn-tool`, `fsl-tool`, `bids-organizer`, and `claw-shell`.

**Core workflow (never bypassed):**
1. Identify input data (BIDS dataset or preprocessed BOLD files).
2. Generate a **numbered execution plan** that clearly states WHAT needs to be done and which tool skill will handle each step.
3. Present the full plan, estimated runtime, resource requirements, and risks to the user and wait for explicit confirmation (“YES” / “execute” / “proceed”).
4. On confirmation, delegate every step to the appropriate skill via `claw-shell`.
5. After execution, save all outputs in a clean directory structure (`fmri_output/`).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add cuhk-aim-group/neurodiscovery/fmri-skill@sha256:a733e4fd56e94905

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260506.86420c0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
