notebook.create_animation

notebook.create_animation is a skill for Claude Code from causify-ai/helpers. It costs 13 tokens per session (229 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An animation creator for an ipywidget interact function, a Python function whose controls can change displayed results in a Jupyter Notebook. It generates frames by varying selected parameter values.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for producing animations from interactive notebook visualizations.
Why use it?
It lets you show how an interactive visualization changes over a sequence of inputs.

    Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.
    Fix: Remove the model/provider override or disclose it prominently and require explicit operator approval before invoking an external coding CLI or billed model.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

notebook.create_animation scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Goal

  • Given the function passed that can go in ipywidget.interact() create an animation using the template below:
    # Parameters for video generation.
    n_steps = 11
    n_samples_fixed = 300
    dependence_values = np.linspace(0.0, 1.0, n_steps)
    
    # Prepare values list for generate_animation.
    values = []
    for val in dependence_values:
        values.append({"dependence": val, "n_samples": n_samples_fixed})
    
    # Directory to save frames.
    dst_dir = "./figures/Lesson94_Joint_Entropy_video"
    
    # Generate animation frames with fixed dimensions.
    ut.generate_animation(
        utils.plot_joint_entropy_interactive,
        values,
        dst_dir,
        incremental=False,
        figsize=(20, 5),
        dpi=150
    )

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
