wolfram-notebooks

wolfram-notebooks is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from WolframResearch/AgentTools. It costs 42 tokens per session (759 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool guide for reading, writing, and converting Wolfram notebook files, which are documents that combine calculations, text, and results. It supports conversion between Markdown and Wolfram notebooks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create notebooks, read existing ones, or convert them to and from Markdown when working with Wolfram tools.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manually edit the notebook file format or recreate notebook content by hand.

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

wolfram-notebooks 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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 76 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Wolfram Notebooks

Read and write Wolfram notebook (.nb) files, including conversion between markdown and notebook format.

Prerequisites

These scripts require wolframscript. If it is not installed or not on your PATH, read references/GetWolframEngine.md (relative to this skill directory) for installation instructions.

Usage

With MCP Server (preferred)

If you have Wolfram notebook MCP tools available in your tool list (e.g., mcp__WolframLanguage__ReadNotebook), use those directly. They provide richer integration and better performance than the bundled scripts.

For a richer experience, consider setting up the Wolfram MCP server. See references/SetUpWolframMCPServer.md (relative to this skill directory) for instructions.

With Bundled Scripts

If no MCP tools are available, use the bundled scripts in the scripts/ directory (relative to this skill directory). Run them with:

wolframscript -f scripts/<ScriptName>.wls <arguments>

Pass --usage to any script to see its argument documentation:

wolframscript -f scripts/<ScriptName>.wls --usage

For detailed usage, arguments, and invocation syntax for each script, see references/Scripts.md (relative to this skill directory).

Reminder: These scripts are only relevant when you do not have the equivalent MCP tool available.

Available Tools

Script When to use
ReadNotebook Read a Wolfram notebook (.nb) file and return its contents as markdown
WriteNotebook Convert markdown text to a Wolfram notebook and save it to a .nb file

ReadNotebook

Use ReadNotebook to inspect the contents of an existing Wolfram notebook. The tool returns the notebook's content as markdown text, including code cells, text cells, and their outputs. This is useful for:

  • Understanding what a notebook contains without opening it in a Wolfram notebook interface
  • Reviewing notebook code and results in a text-based workflow
  • Extracting code or documentation from notebooks

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

wolfram-notebooks is a skill published in the GitHub repository WolframResearch/AgentTools (84 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 759 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
