+# NIFD Skill (Dataset-Orchestration Layer)
+
+## Overview
+
+`nifd-skill` is the NeuroClaw orchestration skill for the **Neuroimaging in Frontotemporal Dementia (NIFD)** dataset, collected at the UCSF Memory and Aging Center.
+
+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 NIFD 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 (`nifd_output/`).
+
+**Research use only.**
+
+---
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+| Task | What needs to be done | Delegate to | Expected output |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| BIDS validation | Validate NIFD BIDS structure | `scripts/validate_nifd.py` | Validation report |
+| sMRI processing | Brain extraction, tissue segmentation, cortical thickness | `smri-skill` | `smri_output/` derivatives |
+| rs-fMRI processing | Preprocessing, denoising, connectivity | `fmri-skill` | `fmri_output/` connectivity |
+| dMRI processing | Diffusion preprocessing, tensor metrics, tractography | `dwi-skill` | `dwi_output/` metrics |
+| Phenotype extraction | Diagnosis, cognitive scores, clinical measures | `scripts/extract_nifd_phenotype.py` | Merged phenotype CSV |
+| QC summary | Per-subject quality control | `scripts/nifd_qc_summary.py` | QC summary + exclusion list |
+
+---
+
+## Dataset Characteristics
+
+- **Cohort**: ~120 participants
+  - **bvFTD**: Behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia
+  - **svPPA**: Semantic variant primary progressive aphasia
+  - **nfvPPA**: Nonfluent variant primary progressive aphasia
+  - **Healthy controls**: Age-matched
+- **Scanner**: 3T Siemens TIM Trio
+- **Modalities**: T1w sMRI, rs-fMRI, dMRI/DTI
+- **Clinical**: CDR, MMSE, neuropsychological battery
+- **Access**: OpenNeuro ds004403 (or UCSF MAC portal)
+- **Format**: BIDS-compliant
+
+---
+
+## Supported Modalities
+
+| Modality | Description | Details |
+|---|---|---|
+| T1w | High-resolution structural MRI | 1mm isotropic, cortical thickness/atrophy |
+| rs-fMRI | Resting-state functional MRI | Functional connectivity, network degeneration |
+| dMRI | Diffusion-weighted imaging | DTI, white matter tract integrity |
+
+---
+
+## NIFD Diagnostic Groups
+
+| Group | Description | Typical N |
+|---|---|---|
+| bvFTD | Behavioral variant FTD | ~40 |
+| svPPA | Semantic variant PPA | ~20 |
+| nfvPPA | Nonfluent variant PPA | ~15 |
+| Control | Healthy age-matched controls | ~45 |
+
+---
+
+## BIDS Preparation
+
+### Script: `scripts/validate_nifd.py`
+
+Validates NIFD BIDS structure and generates a compliance report.
+
+```bash
+python skills/nifd-skill/scripts/validate_nifd.py \
+  --input /path/to/NIFD/bids \
+  --output /path/to/nifd_output/qc/bids_validation.csv
+```
+
+Features:
+- BIDS directory structure validation
+- Diagnostic group completeness check
+- Modality completeness (T1w, rs-fMRI, dMRI)
+- Missing data identification
+
+---
+
+## Core Workflow (Never Bypassed)
+
+1. Identify user target: full NIFD 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_nifd.py`.
+5. Delegate to `smri-skill` for structural MRI processing.
+6. Delegate to `fmri-skill` for rs-fMRI processing (functional connectivity).
+7. Delegate to `dwi-skill` for dMRI processing (white matter integrity).
+8. If phenotype extraction is requested, run `scripts/extract_nifd_phenotype.py`.
+9. If QC summary is requested, run `scripts/nifd_qc_summary.py`.
+10. Save outputs into `nifd_output/`.
+
+---
+
+## Modality Processing Delegation
+
+| Modality | Delegated skill | Typical tasks | Main outputs |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| sMRI (T1w) | `smri-skill` | brain extraction, tissue segmentation, cortical thickness | `smri_output/` derivatives |
+| rs-fMRI | `fmri-skill` | preprocessing, denoising, connectivity | `fmri_output/` connectivity |
+| dMRI | `dwi-skill` | diffusion preprocessing, tensor metrics, tractography | `dwi_output/` metrics |
+
+---
+
+## Standard Output Layout
+
+```
+nifd_output/
+├── bids/                   # BIDS-staged data (or validation report)
+├── smri/                   # Structural MRI derivatives
+├── fmri/                   # Functional MRI derivatives (rs-fMRI connectivity)
+├── dwi/                    # Diffusion MRI derivatives (DTI metrics)
+├── phenotype/              # Merged phenotype tables (diagnosis, cognitive)
+├── 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 NIFD data validation.
+
+- If the task starts from NIFD data already present on disk and only asks for BIDS validation:
+  - Skip the download stage
+  - Default to the narrow path `local NIFD 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
+- NIFD is a clinical cohort; patient data requires careful handling.
+- Diagnostic groups (bvFTD, svPPA, nfvPPA) have distinct atrophy patterns; group-level analyses should account for heterogeneity.
+- Cortical thickness and voxel-based morphometry are commonly used structural measures.
+- Network degeneration hypothesis: FTD targets specific large-scale networks.
+- `nifd-skill` is orchestration-only; detailed preprocessing logic remains in modality skills.
+
+---
+
+## When to Call This Skill
+- User asks for end-to-end NIFD workflow.
+- User asks to process NIFD neuroimaging data.
+- User needs BIDS validation for NIFD data.
+- User asks to extract NIFD phenotype data (diagnosis, cognitive scores).
+- User asks for frontotemporal dementia neuroimaging analysis.
+
+---
+
