BOLD5000 Pipeline (Claude Skill)

End-to-end workflow for the BOLD5000 dataset, including download, BIDS organization, and processing of task-fMRI data with visual image stimuli.


Type	Claude Skill
Supplier	CUHK-AIM-Group (community OSS, MIT)
Availability	GA — part of the NeuroClaw neuroimaging skill library
Pricing	Free / OSS (MIT)
Capabilities	Read/Write — Claude runs the skill’s Python locally (Bash), not as an MCP tool

How to install

Claude Code — clone and copy the skill into your skills directory:
```
git clone https://github.com/CUHK-AIM-Group/NeuroClaw
cp -r NeuroClaw/skills/bold5000-skill ~/.claude/skills/
```
Project-scoped alternative: copy into .claude/skills/ instead. NeuroClaw skills assume the collection’s shared helpers (claw-shell, modality tool skills) and the upstream neuroimaging stack (FreeSurfer/FSL/fMRIPrep/etc.) — install those dependencies, or run the bundled installer for the full environment:
```
cd NeuroClaw && python installer/setup.py
```
which configures the Python env, CUDA/GPU, and the neuroimaging tools.

What it does

Use this skill whenever the user wants an end-to-end workflow for the BOLD5000 dataset, including download, BIDS organization, and processing of task-fMRI data with visual image stimuli. Triggers include: ‘BOLD5000’, ‘BOLD 5000’, ‘process BOLD5000’, ‘visual fMRI’, or any request to run the BOLD5000 pipeline. This is the NeuroClaw dataset-orchestration layer for BOLD5000.

Primary use cases: ‘BOLD5000’, ‘BOLD 5000’, ‘process BOLD5000’, ‘visual fMRI’, or any request to run the BOLD5000 pipeline.

Notes

Distributed as a SKILL.md (plus code examples) in the NeuroClaw skill library — Claude executes it locally via Bash/Python rather than as an MCP server. Upstream license: MIT. The skill directory upstream is skills/bold5000-skill.
