Description

Use when the user asks to create, scaffold, or edit Jupyter notebooks (`.ipynb`) for experiments, explorations, or tutorials; prefer the bundled templates and run the helper script `new_notebook.py` to generate a clean starting notebook.

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.
