hbn-skill
Use this skill whenever the user wants an end-to-end workflow for the Healthy Brain Network (HBN) dataset, including download, BIDS organization, and multimodal processing of sMRI, dMRI, rs-fMRI, task-fMRI, and EEG data. Triggers include: 'HBN', 'Healthy Brain Network', 'process HBN', 'HBN fMRI', 'HBN EEG', or any request to run the HBN multimodal pipeline. This is the NeuroClaw dataset-orchestration layer for HBN.
npx skills add BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills --skill hbn-skill --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# HBN Skill (Dataset-Orchestration Layer) ## Overview `hbn-skill` is the NeuroClaw orchestration skill for the **Healthy Brain Network (HBN)** dataset. It coordinates a fixed multi-phase workflow: 1. Download HBN data from the FCP/INDI repository. 2. Prepare and validate BIDS-style data organization for downstream processing. 3. Delegate modality pipelines to `smri-skill`, `fmri-skill`, `dwi-skill`, and `eeg-skill`. It also provides **phenotype extraction** and **QC integration** paths: - Extract and merge HBN phenotype tables (psychiatric, behavioral, cognitive, lifestyle, genetics, actigraphy). - Generate per-subject QC summaries with exclusion lists. This skill follows NeuroClaw hierarchy: - Defines **WHAT to do**, not low-level implementation details. - Does **not** execute direct shell commands itself. - Delegates all execution via `claw-shell` to base/tool skills. **Research use only.** --- ## Download Stage (Mandatory First Step) ### Source HBN data is distributed through the **FCP/INDI** repository: - Website: https://fcon_1000.projects.nitrc.org/indi/cmi_healthy_brain_network/ ### Supported HBN Data Packages - **Imaging data**: T1w, T2w, dMRI, rs-fMRI, task-fMRI (NIfTI for

What does the hbn-skill skill do?
Use this skill whenever the user wants an end-to-end workflow for the Healthy Brain Network (HBN) dataset, including download, BIDS organization, and multimodal processing of sMRI, dMRI, rs-fMRI, task-fMRI, and EEG data.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills --skill hbn-skill --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills, a repository with 135 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
