What is notebook.implement_outline?

A workflow for building an interactive Jupyter notebook from a written outline. Jupyter notebooks combine explanatory text with executable code, visualisations, and controls such as sliders or buttons.

It helps create .ipynb and paired Python files, implement visualisations and interactive widgets, and place reusable functions in a utility file.

Turning a teaching outline into a working notebook requires implementing both the explanation and the code in a consistent structure. This workflow separates reusable implementation from the notebook cells that call it.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00011	$0.01005
Opus 5.5	$0.00004	$0.00402
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00002	$0.00201
Haiku 4.5	$0.00001	$0.00101

Security

Grade A, and why

notebook.implement_outline 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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 105 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Goal

Input: A notebook_outline.<TAG>.md outline file that describes each notebook cell (created via .claude/skills/notebook.create_outline/SKILL.md)
Outputs:
1. .ipynb file: Fully functional Jupyter notebook with working code, visualizations, and interactive widgets
2. .py file: Paired with the .ipynb using jupytext in py:percent format
3. *_utils.py file: Reusable helper functions for the notebook code
Purpose: Implement the pedagogical design as an executable, interactive notebook
Each visualization is a triplet of pre-viz markdown, a code cell, and post-viz markdown (see "Cell Structure in Notebook")

Core Workflow

Understand the outline: Review each cell's Purpose, Display, and (if present) Widgets and Guided Usage
Implement utility functions: Write reusable widget and visualization code in *_utils.py
Create notebook cells: Add markdown cells (context) and code cells (widget calls)
Follow the separation principle: Utilities hold the implementation. The notebook holds only function calls

Key Conventions

Follow .claude/skills/notebook.rules.md for general notebook conventions and structure, especially:
- ## Visualization Cell Triplet Details: Pre-viz and post-viz markdown cells
- # Visualization and Interactivity: Widget patterns and comments panel conventions
Follow the outline cell format in .claude/skills/notebook.create_outline/SKILL.md
Follow .claude/skills/coding.rules.md for Python in *_utils.py and in the .ipynb Python cells

Code Organization

Follow the section ## Utilities vs. Notebook Responsibilities from the file .claude/skills/notebook.rules.md for organizing utility files and notebook cells

Reference Templates

Study these before implementing. They set the quality bar and idioms
- .claude/templates/notebook.template.py
  - End-to-end notebook covering both static and interactive cell types
- .claude/templates/notebook_utils_template.py
  - Paired utilities file with widget creation, state management, and visualization functions

In the title cell, right after the title, add:

- Generated by `.claude/skills/notebook.implement_outline/SKILL.md`

Examples of notebooks:
- msml610/tutorials/Lesson94_Information_Theory_utils.py
- Production example with complex interactive patterns (especially plot_joint_entropy_interactive())

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.
