Jupyter Notebook Search and Editing via Jupytext

Overview

Use this skill when the task is "search or modify a notebook", but working on raw .ipynb JSON directly is not practical.

This skill covers two notebook-safe operations:

1. Search notebook content through rg with scripts/rg_ipynb_preprocessor.py.
2. Edit notebook content through a temporary Jupytext text representation and sync it back to .ipynb.

Default workflow:

1. Search notebook content safely when you need to locate cells or text inside .ipynb.
2. Convert the current .ipynb notebook into a readable text notebook in a temporary location.
3. Edit the text notebook instead of the .ipynb.
4. Sync the edited text back into the original .ipynb.

This skill is intentionally narrow. It is not about maintaining paired notebooks long term. It is a bridge for notebook search and editing.
