What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides guidance and workflow structure for the complex process of designing and implementing computational brain models, from neuron selection to simulation setup.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Model Specification: Guides the creation of a model-spec.md file for user confirmation before implementation.
• Iterative Development: Encourages starting with a minimal viable model (e.g., a single firing neuron) before scaling to complex networks.
• Framework Adherence: Provides best practices for popular simulation frameworks like NEURON, Brian2, NetPyNE, and NEST.
• Use Case: A researcher needs to build a spiking neural network model of a specific brain region. This Skill will guide them through choosing the right neuron model, defining connectivity rules, and setting up the simulation environment using their preferred framework.

Quick Start

Use the phase-brain-build skill to start designing a computational brain model by first creating a model specification document.
