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 rules
• neuroflow: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
