phase-data
The data phase locates raw data, validates BIDS structure, and runs conversion scripts to get data ready for preprocessing.
Approach
- Follow the three-step sequence in order: inventory → validate → convert — do not skip ahead
- Confirm data location and expected modality before doing anything
- BIDS compliance is the target; note deviations but do not block progress for minor issues
- Summarize what was found, what passed, and what needs fixing before moving on
Relevant skills
neuroflow:neuroflow-core — read first; defines the command lifecycle and .neuroflow/ write rulesneuroflow:bids — invoke whenever BIDS structure, validation, conversion, or sidecar metadata is relevant; provides full entity ordering, required files per modality, tool usage (bids-validator, pybids, MNE-BIDS), and conversion examples
Workflow hints
- Save
data-inventory.md to .neuroflow/data/ listing datasets, paths, and BIDS status
- Conversion scripts and outputs go to
output_path, not inside .neuroflow/
- Log any structural data issues that affect analysis choices downstream in
.neuroflow/reasoning/data.json
Slash command
/neuroflow:data — runs this workflow as a slash command.
