Jupyter Notebook Skill

Create clean, reproducible Jupyter notebooks for two primary modes:

• Experiments and exploratory analysis
• Tutorials and teaching-oriented walkthroughs

Prefer the bundled templates and the helper script for consistent structure and fewer JSON mistakes.

When to use

• Create a new .ipynb notebook from scratch.
• Convert rough notes or scripts into a structured notebook.
• Refactor an existing notebook to be more reproducible and skimmable.
• Build experiments or tutorials that will be read or re-run by other people.

Decision tree

• If the request is exploratory, analytical, or hypothesis-driven, choose experiment.
• If the request is instructional, step-by-step, or audience-specific, choose tutorial.
• If editing an existing notebook, treat it as a refactor: preserve intent and improve structure.

Scripts and references are located under {baseDir}/.

Workflow

1. Lock the intent. Identify the notebook kind: experiment or tutorial. Capture the objective, audience, and what "done" looks like.
