Quickstart

Get from zero to a running neuroflow project in under five minutes.

Step 1 — Install

claude plugin marketplace add stanislavjiricek/neuroflow
claude plugin install neuroflow@neuroflow

copilot plugin install stanislavjiricek/neuroflow

→ Full installation guide

Step 2 — Open your project

Navigate to your project folder (or any empty folder to start fresh) and open your AI assistant:

cd ~/my-eeg-study
claude

cd ~/my-eeg-study
copilot

Step 3 — Run /neuroflow

Type this in Claude Code:

/neuroflow:neuroflow

If this is a new project, neuroflow will:

  1. Scan your folder for signals (BIDS data, scripts, manuscript files, etc.)
  2. Ask you a few short questions about your project
  3. Create .neuroflow/ — the shared project memory

If you already have a .neuroflow/ folder, it will show your current phase and status instead.

Example session

You: /neuroflow:neuroflow

Claude: I found a `paradigm/` folder with PsychoPy scripts and a `scripts/` folder
        with Python preprocessing code. This looks like an EEG study in progress.

        What are you working on? (one or two sentences)

You: An auditory oddball study on attention in healthy adults. I need to preprocess
     the EEG and run ERP analysis.

Claude: Got it. Setting up neuroflow project memory...

        ✅ Created .neuroflow/
        ✅ Active phase: data-preprocess

        Next step: run /neuroflow:data-preprocess

Step 4 — Set up integrations (optional)

neuroflow can search PubMed and use Miro for visual collaboration. Run the setup wizard:

/neuroflow:setup

This stores credentials in .neuroflow/integrations.json (git-ignored).

Step 5 — Follow the pipeline

Run the command for your current phase:

/neuroflow:ideation

Brainstorm a research question, search the literature, or write a project proposal.

/neuroflow:data-preprocess

Build and run an EEG/fMRI preprocessing pipeline with filtering, ICA, and QC.

/neuroflow:data-analyze

Run ERPs, time-frequency analysis, connectivity, decoding, or GLM.

/neuroflow:paper

Draft your manuscript section by section through the write→critique loop.

Key concepts

Concept What it is
Project memory .neuroflow/ folder — every command reads and writes here
Commands /neuroflow:<name> — the main way you interact with neuroflow
Skills Domain knowledge Claude loads automatically for each phase
Agents Autonomous subprocesses for focused tasks (e.g. literature search)
