nsd-skill SKILL.md skillA
nsd-skill from cuhk-aim-group/neurodiscovery is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add cuhk-aim-group/neurodiscovery/nsd-skill@git:20260506.f8d0216Pins git:20260506.f8d0216 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use this skill whenever the user wants an end-to-end workflow for the Natural Scenes Dataset (NSD), including data access, BIDS validation, multimodal processing of task-fMRI and structural MRI, stimulus metadata extraction, and QC integration. Triggers include: 'NSD', 'Natural Scenes Dataset', 'process NSD data', 'NSD fMRI', 'visual neuroscience', or any request to run the NSD multimodal pipeline.
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
# NSD Skill (Dataset-Orchestration Layer)
## Overview
`nsd-skill` is the NeuroClaw orchestration skill for the **Natural Scenes Dataset (NSD)**.
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 via `claw-shell`.
- Companion scripts in `scripts/` provide reference implementations for BIDS validation, stimulus extraction, and QC.
**Core workflow (never bypassed):**
1. Identify input NSD data and target modalities.
2. Generate a **numbered execution plan** clearly stating 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 (`nsd_output/`).
**Research use only.**

How to install
mdr add cuhk-aim-group/neurodiscovery/nsd-skill@sha256:1ab60de8e172d06bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260506.f8d0216, 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.
