What problem does it solve?

This Skill allows users to easily edit existing Wolfram Notebook (.nb) files by converting them to Markdown, making changes, and then re-importing them, preventing direct manipulation of the complex .nb format.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Safe Editing Workflow: Ensures .nb files are never read directly, always going through a Markdown round-trip for safety and simplicity.
  • Content Modification: Supports adding sections, editing text, inserting code blocks, and removing content within existing notebooks.
  • Use Case: You have a Mathematica notebook detailing a research experiment, and you need to add a new section explaining a revised methodology. This skill will help you update the notebook without risking corruption.

Quick Start

Use the modify-notebook skill to update the existing notebook at '/path/to/my_research.nb' by adding a new code block to the end of the document.
