+# MND Skill (Dataset-Orchestration Layer)
+
+## Overview
+
+`mnd-skill` is the NeuroClaw orchestration skill for the **Motor Neuron Disease (MND)** dataset from OpenNeuro ds005874.
+
+It strictly follows the NeuroClaw hierarchical design principles:
+- This skill **only describes WHAT needs to be done** and **which tool skill to delegate to**.
+- It contains **no implementation code or concrete commands**.
+- All concrete execution is delegated to existing base/tool skills via `claw-shell`.
+- Companion scripts in `scripts/` provide reference implementations for BIDS validation, phenotype extraction, and QC.
+
+**Core workflow (never bypassed):**
+1. Identify input MND data and target modalities.
+2. Generate a **numbered execution plan** clearly stating WHAT needs to be done and which tool skill will handle each step.
+3. Present the full plan, estimated runtime, resource requirements, and risks to the user and wait for explicit confirmation ("YES" / "execute" / "proceed").
+4. On confirmation, delegate every step to the appropriate skill via `claw-shell`.
+5. After execution, save all outputs in a clean directory structure (`mnd_output/`).
+
+**Research use only.**
+
+---
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+| Task | What needs to be done | Delegate to | Expected output |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| BIDS validation | Validate MND BIDS structure | `scripts/validate_mnd.py` | Validation report |
+| sMRI processing | Brain extraction, tissue segmentation | `smri-skill` | `smri_output/` derivatives |
+| rs-fMRI processing | Preprocessing, denoising, connectivity | `fmri-skill` | `fmri_output/` derivatives |
+| task-fMRI processing | Motor task GLM, activation analysis | `fmri-skill` | `fmri_output/` task results |
+| Phenotype extraction | Diagnosis, clinical measures | `scripts/extract_mnd_phenotype.py` | Merged phenotype CSV |
+| QC summary | Per-subject quality control | `scripts/mnd_qc_summary.py` | QC summary + exclusion list |
+
+---
+
+## Dataset Characteristics
+
+- **Cohort**: 59 participants
+  - **Patient group**: Motor Neuron Disease (e.g., ALS) patients
+  - **Control group**: Healthy age-matched controls
+- **Modalities**: rs-fMRI, task-fMRI (motor tasks)
+- **Format**: BIDS-compliant
+- **Access**: OpenNeuro ds005874
+- **License**: CC0
+
+---
+
+## Supported Modalities
+
+| Modality | Description | Tasks/Conditions |
+|---|---|---|
+| rs-fMRI | Resting-state functional MRI | Eyes open/closed |
+| task-fMRI | Task-based functional MRI | Motor tasks (finger tapping, hand grip) |
+
+---
+
+## MND Task Paradigms
+
+| Task | Description | Duration |
+|---|---|---|
+| REST | Resting-state (eyes open/closed) | ~8 min |
+| MOTOR | Motor tasks (finger tapping, hand grip) | ~5 min |
+
+---
+
+## BIDS Preparation
+
+### Script: `scripts/validate_mnd.py`
+
+Validates MND BIDS structure and generates a compliance report.
+
+```bash
+python skills/mnd-skill/scripts/validate_mnd.py \
+  --input /path/to/MND/bids \
+  --output /path/to/mnd_output/qc/bids_validation.csv
+```
+
+Features:
+- BIDS directory structure validation
+- Modality completeness check (rs-fMRI, task-fMRI)
+- Participant group labeling (patient vs. control)
+- Missing data identification
+
+---
+
+## Core Workflow (Never Bypassed)
+
+1. Identify user target: full MND processing, imaging subset, phenotype extraction, or BIDS validation only.
+2. Generate a numbered plan with tools, outputs, runtime, storage, and risks.
+3. Wait for explicit confirmation (`YES` / `execute` / `proceed`).
+4. On confirmation, run BIDS validation using `scripts/validate_mnd.py`.
+5. Delegate to `smri-skill` for structural MRI processing (if available).
+6. Delegate to `fmri-skill` for functional MRI processing (resting-state and motor task).
+7. If phenotype extraction is requested, run `scripts/extract_mnd_phenotype.py`.
+8. If QC summary is requested, run `scripts/mnd_qc_summary.py`.
+9. Save outputs into `mnd_output/`.
+
+---
+
+## Modality Processing Delegation
+
+| Modality | Delegated skill | Typical tasks | Main outputs |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| sMRI (T1w) | `smri-skill` | brain extraction, tissue segmentation | `smri_output/` derivatives |
+| rs-fMRI | `fmri-skill` | preprocessing, denoising, connectivity | `fmri_output/` connectivity |
+| task-fMRI | `fmri-skill` | motor task GLM, activation analysis | `fmri_output/` task results |
+
+---
+
+## Standard Output Layout
+
+```
+mnd_output/
+├── bids/                   # BIDS-staged data (or validation report)
+├── smri/                   # Structural MRI derivatives
+├── fmri/                   # Functional MRI derivatives (rest + motor)
+├── phenotype/              # Merged phenotype tables (diagnosis, clinical)
+├── qc/                     # QC summaries and exclusion lists
+└── logs/                   # Processing logs
+```
+
+---
+
+## Benchmark Adapter Guidance
+
+For benchmark-style prompts, do not force the full orchestration when the task only asks for local MND data validation.
+
+- If the task starts from MND data already present on disk and only asks for BIDS validation:
+  - Skip the download stage
+  - Default to the narrow path `local MND discovery -> BIDS validation -> report`
+- In benchmark mode, do not require explicit confirmation before presenting the validation solution.
+
+---
+
+## Safety and Execution Policy
+- No execution before explicit plan confirmation.
+- All execution must be routed via `claw-shell`.
+- Missing dependencies must be resolved by `dependency-planner` before running.
+
+---
+
+## Important Notes and Limitations
+- MND is a clinical cohort; patient data requires careful handling.
+- Case-control matching should be verified before group comparisons.
+- Motor tasks are designed to probe motor network function; standard motor task GLM applies.
+- The dataset is relatively small (59 participants); statistical power may be limited.
+- `mnd-skill` is orchestration-only; detailed preprocessing logic remains in modality skills.
+
+---
+
+## When to Call This Skill
+- User asks for end-to-end MND workflow.
+- User asks to process MND fMRI data.
+- User needs BIDS validation for MND data.
+- User asks to extract MND phenotype data (diagnosis, clinical measures).
+- User asks for motor network analysis in MND patients.
+
+---
+
+## Complementary / Related Skills
+- `smri-skill` → structural MRI preprocessing
+- `fmri-skill` → functional MRI preprocessing and analysis
+- `bids-organizer` → BIDS validation and organization
+- `brain-visualization` → visualization of derivatives
+- `dependency-planner` → dependency resolution
+- `conda-env-manager` → environment management
+- `claw-shell` → command execution
