jupyter-live-kernel

jupyter-live-kernel is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sairam0424/MindForge. It costs 19 tokens per session (1,326 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of jupyter-notebook, MIT.

A stateful Python workspace backed by a live Jupyter kernel, which is the program that runs notebook code. Values and imported data remain available between executions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for interactive Python experiments, data-frame inspection, data science, machine-learning work, and complex code exploration.
Why use it?
It avoids rebuilding the same Python state after every command and supports gradual exploration of data, APIs, and code.

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

jupyter-live-kernel scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 9d 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.

Jupyter Live Kernel (hamelnb)

Gives you a stateful Python REPL via a live Jupyter kernel. Variables persist across executions. Use this instead of Bash when you need to build up state incrementally, explore APIs, inspect DataFrames, or iterate on complex code.

When to Use This vs Other Tools

Tool Use When
This skill Iterative exploration, state across steps, data science, ML, "let me try this and check"
Bash One-shot scripts needing hermes tool access (WebSearch, file ops). Stateless.
Bash Shell commands, builds, installs, git, process management

Rule of thumb: If you'd want a Jupyter notebook for the task, use this skill.

Prerequisites

  1. uv must be installed (check: which uv)
  2. JupyterLab must be installed: uv tool install jupyterlab
  3. A Jupyter server must be running (see Setup below)

Setup

The hamelnb script location:

SCRIPT="$HOME/.agent-skills/hamelnb/skills/jupyter-live-kernel/scripts/jupyter_live_kernel.py"

If not cloned yet:

git clone https://github.com/hamelsmu/hamelnb.git ~/.agent-skills/hamelnb

Starting JupyterLab

Check if a server is already running:

uv run "$SCRIPT" servers

If no servers found, start one:

jupyter-lab --no-browser --port=8888 --notebook-dir=$HOME/notebooks \
  --IdentityProvider.token='' --ServerApp.password='' > /tmp/jupyter.log 2>&1 &
sleep 3

Note: Token/password disabled for local agent access. The server runs headless.

Creating a Notebook for REPL Use

If you just need a REPL (no existing notebook), create a minimal notebook file:

mkdir -p ~/notebooks

Write a minimal .ipynb JSON file with one empty code cell, then start a kernel session via the Jupyter REST API:

curl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8888/api/sessions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"path":"scratch.ipynb","type":"notebook","name":"scratch.ipynb","kernel":{"name":"python3"}}'

Core Workflow

All commands return structured JSON. Always use --compact to save tokens.

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.

jupyter-live-kernel is a skill published in the GitHub repository sairam0424/MindForge (0 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 1,326 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). It is 81% identical to jupyter-notebook, differing in 30 lines, and is treated as a copy.
