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.

As a process D 47/100 · Unfinished process — weak spots: result and completion, when it triggers, inputs and preconditions
How to improve
- 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edit-residuethe text marks something as outdated (lines 165, 196, 199): check that old rules are not kept next to new ones — the full check reads the text for contradictions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.
Quality signals
- +5Description has no quoted example phrases that should trigger the skill
- +4Description does not say when NOT to use the skill (false activations)
- +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
- -31 of 7 scripts are never mentioned in SKILL.md
- +2Single-language instructions
- +3Description length 420: enough signal without eating the budget
- +4Structure: 36 headings
- +3Step-by-step instructions: 34 items
- +4Has examples (21 code blocks)
- +4Reference files are cited in the instructions (10 of 10)
- +1License stated
Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 86.
