BD neuropixels-analysis

Analyzes Neuropixels extracellular recordings end-to-end with SpikeInterface. Covers loading SpikeGLX/Open Ephys/NWB data, preprocessing, drift/motion correction, Kilosort4 (and CPU) spike sorting, quality metrics, and unit curation (threshold-based, model-based UnitRefine, and AI-assisted visual review). Use when working with Neuropixels 1.0/2.0 recordings, spike sorting, or extracellular electrophysiology analysis.

How to improve

    For the model run — optional
    • Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
    • A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

    Against the Agent Skills spec

    • note edit-residue the text marks something as outdated (lines 165, 196, 199): check that old rules are not kept next to new ones — the full check reads the text for contradictions

    Process rating: all ten parameters 47/100

    • 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
    • 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
    • 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
    • 30Running it twice. 2 mutating operations with no state check
    • 55Failures and branches. 1 branches
    • 60Tools and files. Uses tools (web, python) that frontmatter does not declare
    • 70Execution cost. Instruction body is 4766 tokens
    • 85Steps. 34 steps, 1 vague phrases
    • 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
    • 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
    • low 13 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill

    Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
