notebook.create_api_intro

notebook.create_api_intro is a skill for Claude Code from causify-ai/helpers. It costs 10 tokens per session (1,710 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A Jupyter Notebook creator that teaches the core objects and functions of a Python package through small, progressive examples. A Python package is reusable code that other programs can import.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for building self-contained API introduction notebooks focused on concepts, methods, and object behavior.
Why use it?
It turns an unfamiliar package interface into a step-by-step lesson instead of requiring readers to understand a large example first.

    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_api_intro 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 22d 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.

Goal

  • Create a self-contained Jupyter notebook that teaches the Python package <PACKAGE_NAME> by progressively introducing its core primitives, mental model, and API surface

  • The notebook should be optimized for learning the library itself, not for solving a large real-world problem

Teaching Philosophy

  • Follow this teaching philosophy:

    1. Start from the smallest possible working example
    2. Introduce one new concept at a time
    3. Use the minimum amount of code necessary to demonstrate each concept
    4. Prefer toy examples with 2-5 objects instead of realistic datasets
    5. Every code cell should answer exactly one question
    6. Avoid helper functions, abstractions, and boilerplate unless they are part of the library's API
    7. Focus on understanding:
      • What are the primitive objects?
      • How are they created?
      • How do they interact?
      • What methods are available?
      • What state do they hold?
      • How do they compose into larger structures?

Notebook Structure

Name of the Notebook

  • The name of the notebook <FILE> is either specified directly by the user or it is generated as:
    tutorials/<PACKAGE_NAME>/<PACKAGE_NAME>.<ID>.API.<DESCRIPTION>.ipynb
    
  • E.g., for the package pgmpy and for probabilistic inference, the name can be tutorials/pgmpy/pgmpy.01.API.probabilistic_inference.ipynb

Use Standard Template Structure

  • Use the structure from .claude/templates/notebook.template.py for consistent notebook initialization
    • Follow the cell layout in .claude/skills/notebook.rules.md under ## Use Standard Template Structure: title cell with scope and pedagogical arc, optional pip cell, autoreload and third-party imports cell, and a last setup cell that calls utils.init_loggers(_LOG)
    • Do not add an ## Imports header

Follow General Notebook Conventions

  • Follow the notebook conventions documented in .claude/skills/notebook.rules.md:
    • # Design Principles and Setup: Standard template structure and Python code rules
    • # Cell Design and Content: Python coding style, showing results, and using pandas dataframes for tables
    • # Text and Markdown Formatting: Markdown bullet points, emdash replacement, and LaTeX notation
    • # Visualization and Interactivity: Data manipulation and plotting conventions
    • ## Visualization Cell Triplet Details: Structure for notebook cells with visualizations or interactive widgets

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.

notebook.create_api_intro is a skill published in the GitHub repository causify-ai/helpers (152 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 10 tokens to every session and 1,710 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
