Vibe-Skills is a collection and routing system that helps AI agents discover, select, and coordinate specialized skills for completing tasks. It is intended for agents that need to organize workflows across many installed capabilities. The catalogue entries are skills and an agent belonging to this system.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00109 | $0.02998 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00055 | $0.01499 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00600 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00300 |
Grade A, and why
neuropixels-analysis 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 9d ago.
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.
This is a copy
94% identical to neuropixels-analysis — 8 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 352 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Neuropixels Data Analysis
Routing Boundary
Use this skill only for Neuropixels, SpikeGLX, Kilosort, Open Ephys, spike sorting, probe/channel maps, or electrophysiology recording workflows tied to these tools. Do not use it for generic neuroscience literature, clinical EEG, fMRI, flow cytometry, or single-cell RNA analysis.
Overview
Comprehensive toolkit for analyzing Neuropixels high-density neural recordings using current best practices from SpikeInterface, Allen Institute, and International Brain Laboratory (IBL). Supports the full workflow from raw data to publication-ready curated units.
When to Use This Skill
This skill should be used when:
- Working with Neuropixels recordings (.ap.bin, .lf.bin, .meta files)
- Loading data from SpikeGLX, Open Ephys, or NWB formats
- Preprocessing neural recordings (filtering, CAR, bad channel detection)
- Detecting and correcting motion/drift in recordings
- Running spike sorting (Kilosort4, SpykingCircus2, Mountainsort5)
- Computing quality metrics (SNR, ISI violations, presence ratio)
- Curating units using Allen/IBL criteria
- Creating visualizations of neural data
- Exporting results to Phy or NWB
Supported Hardware & Formats
| Probe | Electrodes | Channels | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Neuropixels 1.0 | 960 | 384 | Requires phase_shift correction |
| Neuropixels 2.0 (single) | 1280 | 384 | Denser geometry |
| Neuropixels 2.0 (4-shank) | 5120 | 384 | Multi-region recording |
| Format | Extension | Reader |
|---|---|---|
| SpikeGLX | .ap.bin, .lf.bin, .meta |
si.read_spikeglx() |
| Open Ephys | .continuous, .oebin |
si.read_openephys() |
| NWB | .nwb |
si.read_nwb() |
Quick Start
Basic Import and Setup
import spikeinterface.full as si
import neuropixels_analysis as npa
# Configure parallel processing
job_kwargs = dict(n_jobs=-1, chunk_duration='1s', progress_bar=True)
Loading Data
# SpikeGLX (most common)
recording = si.read_spikeglx('/path/to/data', stream_id='imec0.ap')
# Open Ephys (common for many labs)
recording = si.read_openephys('/path/to/Record_Node_101/')
# Check available streams
streams, ids = si.get_neo_streams('spikeglx', '/path/to/data')
print(streams) # ['imec0.ap', 'imec0.lf', 'nidq']
# For testing with subset of data
recording = recording.frame_slice(0, int(60 * recording.get_sampling_frequency()))

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.

neuropixels-analysis is a skill published in the GitHub repository foryourhealth111-pixel/Vibe-Skills (3,252 stars, last pushed 12d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 109 tokens to every session and 2,998 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 94% identical to neuropixels-analysis, differing in 8 lines, and is treated as a copy.
