neuropixels-analysis

Neuropixels neural recording analysis. Load SpikeGLX/OpenEphys data, preprocess, motion correction, Kilosort4 spike sorting, quality metrics, Allen/IBL curation, AI-assisted visual analysis, for Neuropixels 1.0/2.0 extracellular electrophysiology. Use when working with neural recordings, spike sorting, extracellular electrophysiology, or when the user mentions Neuropixels, SpikeGLX, Open Ephys, Kilosort, quality metrics, or unit curation.

Quality

Content

76%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A thorough, highly actionable guide with excellent code coverage and a clear multi-step workflow, weakened by missing validation checkpoints in batch stages and broken reference link paths.

Suggestions

Add explicit validation/verification checkpoints (e.g., assert sorter output exists, re-check ISI metrics after curation) to the workflow steps so batch operations have validate-then-fix feedback loops.

Fix the reference directory path mismatch: change all 'reference/' links and headings to 'references/' (plural) to match the actual bundle directory so navigation works.

Trim the wrapper-vs-raw-API duplication (e.g., show npa.preprocess or the raw chain, not both) to tighten conciseness.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Dense with executable code and tight parameter tables that mostly assume Claude's competence, with only minor padding (e.g., wrapper and raw-API duplication, a generic pitfalls list).

4 / 5

Actionability

Provides copy-paste-ready code for every workflow stage plus concrete CLI commands for bundled scripts and specific parameter ranges, matching the fully-executable anchor.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

An 8-step numbered sequence is clearly laid out, but batch/destructive operations (sorting, curation, export) lack explicit validate-then-fix checkpoints, capping clarity at 3 per the rubric.

3 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Well-structured overview with one-level-deep references to 10 reference files, scripts, and an asset template, but all reference links point to 'reference/' (singular) while the real directory is 'references/' (plural), breaking navigation.

Description

92%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A high-quality description that concretely enumerates the pipeline stages and provides explicit, natural trigger phrases for when to use the skill. Only minor gap is the absence of file-extension synonyms among the trigger terms.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions spanning the full pipeline ('Load SpikeGLX/OpenEphys data, preprocess, motion correction, Kilosort4 spike sorting, quality metrics, Allen/IBL curation, AI-assisted visual analysis'), matching the comprehensive-coverage anchor.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what (the full action list) and when ('Use when working with neural recordings... or when the user mentions Neuropixels...') with concrete trigger phrases, matching the top anchor.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Strong natural-term coverage including tool names users say ('Neuropixels, SpikeGLX, Open Ephys, Kilosort, quality metrics, or unit curation'), but missing common file-extension synonyms like .ap.bin or .nwb that would push it to 5.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Occupies a clear niche (Neuropixels extracellular ephys) with named-tool triggers (SpikeGLX, Kilosort) and minimal overlap risk with unrelated skills.
