  • Format the markdown cells to match

Workflow

Split Markdown Cells

  • Make sure that each markdown cell in a Jupyter notebook contains at most one header and some text, but not more than one header
    • Bad (there are 3 headers in the same cell: one H1, one H2, one H3)
      # %% [markdown]
      # Part 3: Composition Examples
      
      ## Example 1: Minimal End-to-End Workflow
      
      Rain → Sprinkler → Grass Wet
      
      ### Mental Model
      
    • Good (each header is in a different cell)
      # %% [markdown]
      # Part 3: Composition Examples
      
      # %% [markdown]
      ## Example 1: Minimal End-to-End Workflow
      
      Rain → Sprinkler → Grass Wet
      
      # %% [markdown]
      ### Mental Model
      
    • Do not change the content of the markdown text besides splitting cells into multiple ones

Remove Empty Lines

  • Remove empty lines at the beginning or end of a markdown cell
    • Bad (there are two headers in the same cell, one H1 and one H2)
      
      # %% [markdown]
      # Part 3: Composition Examples
      
      
      
    • Good (each header is in a different cell)
      # %% [markdown]
      # Part 3: Composition Examples
      

Important

  • Do not change or remove any Python code cell
  • At the end of the transformation, run jupytext --sync to update the Python paired notebook, following the conventions in # Setup and Initialization## Utilities vs. Notebook Responsibilities in .claude/skills/notebook.rules.md
