neuropixels-analysis

neuropixels-analysis is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from foryourhealth111-pixel/Vibe-Skills. It costs 109 tokens per session (2,998 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of neuropixels-analysis, Apache-2.0.

A toolkit for analyzing high-density neural recordings made with Neuropixels probes. It covers loading files, cleaning signals, detecting spikes, grouping spikes into neurons, checking data quality, and exporting results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it with SpikeGLX, Open Ephys, or NWB recordings for motion correction, Kilosort-based spike sorting, quality checks, unit curation, visualization, and export to Phy or NWB.
Why use it?
It organizes the many steps between raw electrophysiology recordings and trustworthy neuron-level results.

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

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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 7 executable files (assets/analysis_template.py, scripts/compute_metrics.py, scripts/explore_recording.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.

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

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.
