brain-age-modeling

brain-age-modeling is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from CUHK-AIM-Group/NeuroClaw. It costs 88 tokens per session (906 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for training models that estimate a person's age from brain measurements and measure the difference between that estimate and their real age. Brain-PAD is the bias-corrected estimated age minus chronological age.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps build brain-age models, export corrected predictions and Brain-PAD values, and analyze groups with unusually older- or younger-looking brains.
Why use it?
It helps prevent information from the evaluation data leaking into training and corrects age-related prediction bias during validation.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

brain-age-modeling scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/train_reference.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Brain-Age Modeling Workflow

Overview

brain-age-modeling is a leakage-safe task workflow over NeuroClaw regression estimators. It trains predicted-age models, fits age-bias correction on each training fold, and exports held-out raw age, corrected age, and Brain-PAD.

Brain-PAD = bias-corrected predicted age - chronological age

Positive Brain-PAD indicates an older-appearing brain relative to chronological age under the fitted model; it is not by itself a diagnosis or causal effect.


Installation

pip install numpy pandas scipy scikit-learn joblib

Optional feature generators such as FreeSurfer, NeuroSTORM, or a 3D CNN are handled by their own skills before this tabular brain-age workflow.


Workflows

1. Prepare brain features

subject_id,site,age,cortical_thickness,hippocampal_volume,fc_001
sub-001,A,64,2.51,3810,0.12
sub-002,B,59,2.63,4022,0.08

Use a healthy training reference when the scientific interpretation requires deviation from normative aging. Do not include downstream disease outcomes as predictors.

2. Ridge brain-age model

  --features brain_features.csv \
  --age-col age \
  --subject-col subject_id \
  --group-col site \
  --model ridge \
  --folds 5 \
  --seed 123 \
  --output-dir run_models_output/brain_age

3. Alternative regressors

The workflow reuses regression estimators from statistical-ml, including ols, ridge, elastic_net, svr, and optional xgboost. Keep site, family, or cohort groups intact where appropriate.

4. Downstream analysis

After held-out Brain-PAD has been generated, analyze group differences or clinical associations with explicit age, sex, site, intracranial-volume, and other prespecified covariates. Use only held-out Brain-PAD values.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

brain-age-modeling is a skill published in the GitHub repository CUHK-AIM-Group/NeuroClaw (84 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 88 tokens to every session and 906 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
