Organizes, queries, validates, and converts Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS) datasets. Supports organizing neuroscience and biomedical data (MRI, EEG, MEG, iEEG, PET, microscopy, NIRS, motion capture, EMG, MR spectroscopy, behavioral), querying BIDS layouts, validating compliance, converting DICOM to BIDS, writing metadata sidecars, or creating BIDS derivatives.

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

# Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS)

## Overview

The Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS) is a community standard for organizing and describing neuroscience and biomedical research datasets. It defines a consistent file naming convention, directory hierarchy, and metadata schema so that datasets are immediately understandable by humans and software tools alike. BIDS is governed by the BIDS Specification (reviewed against v1.11.2, released 2026-09-29) and is maintained by the community via the BIDS-Standard GitHub organization.

While BIDS originated for MRI, it has grown well beyond neuroimaging. The specification now covers 11 modalities spanning imaging, electrophysiology, and behavioral data:

- **Imaging**: MRI (structural, functional, diffusion, fieldmaps, perfusion/ASL), PET, microscopy
- **Electrophysiology**: EEG, MEG, iEEG (intracranial EEG), EMG
- **Other**: NIRS (near-infrared spectroscopy), motion capture, behavioral data (without imaging), MR spectroscopy

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add fridrichmethod/awesome-skills/bids@sha256:fa7e0739b2e24074

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.3, 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.
