NeuroFlow

A Claude Code plugin that orchestrates a full neuroscience research project — from ideation and grant writing through experiment design, data preprocessing/analysis, computational brain modeling, and manuscript drafting — as a set of phase-aware slash commands.

   
Type Claude Code Plugin
Supplier Stanislav Jiříček (community, MIT)
Availability Beta — v0.2.20
Pricing Free / OSS (MIT)
Capabilities Read/Write — runs slash-command workflows locally; bundles a literature-search MCP server
Verified works · 2026-07-20
Security caution · 2026-07-20 — stanislavjiricek/neuroflow MIT, provenance matches, no OSV advisories, early Beta single-maintainer (6 stars)

How to install

  • Claude Code — plugin marketplace: 
    /plugin marketplace add stanislavjiricek/neuroflow
/plugin install neuroflow@neuroflow

    (The marketplace and the plugin are both named neuroflow, so the install target is neuroflow@neuroflow.)

After install, the commands resolve namespaced under the plugin — e.g. /neuroflow:ideation, /neuroflow:grant-proposal, /neuroflow:brain-build (not the bare /ideation form the upstream README lists). Run /neuroflow:setup first to save your GitHub username so the collaboration “flowie” handle is pre-filled on new projects.

The plugin integrates a bundled literature-search MCP (paper-search-mcp-nodejs, for bioRxiv/PubMed lookups) that Claude Code launches on demand as part of the plugin — no separate registration step.

What it does

Provides 20+ phase-aware slash commands, each loading workflow guidance and relevant skills for that stage of a research project. Grouped by phase:

  • Ideation & planning — /neuroflow:ideation (brainstorm a question, inline literature exploration, formalize into a project definition), /neuroflow:interview, /neuroflow:phase, /neuroflow:preregistration.
  • Funding & admin — /neuroflow:grant-proposal (funder-adaptive drafting for NIH/ERC/Wellcome/GAČR with word-count tracking and review-criteria alignment), /neuroflow:finance (budget planning, expense logging, funder reporting).
  • Experiments & tools — /neuroflow:experiment, /neuroflow:tool-build, /neuroflow:tool-validate, /neuroflow:pipeline.
  • Data — /neuroflow:data, /neuroflow:data-preprocess, /neuroflow:data-analyze (with a BIDS support skill).
  • Computational modeling — /neuroflow:brain-build, /neuroflow:brain-optimize, /neuroflow:brain-run for assembling and running computational brain models.
  • Writing & output — /neuroflow:paper, /neuroflow:review, /neuroflow:poster, /neuroflow:output, /neuroflow:autoresearch.
  • Collaboration & meta — /neuroflow:notes, /neuroflow:meeting, /neuroflow:hive, /neuroflow:git, /neuroflow:flowie, /neuroflow:fails, /neuroflow:idk.

Plus 30+ supporting skills covering phase guidance, wiki crystallization (auto-ingesting decisions/hypotheses/insights at the end of each command), and worker-critic review loops.

Primary use cases: end-to-end neuroscience project orchestration, grant-proposal drafting, computational brain-model building, experiment-to-manuscript workflow.

Notes

Community/independent project; not vendor-affiliated. Early-stage (v0.2.x) — treat as Beta. As with any third-party plugin, review the marketplace source before installing; Anthropic does not vet plugin contents. The bundled literature-search MCP overlaps dedicated catalog entries (PubMed, bioRxiv) but is packaged here as part of the research workflow. For a standalone spike-train/electrophysiology skill suite see SpikeLab; for fMRI modeling see NeuroSTORM.
