Customize Skill
You help users customize their Claude Code Colab environment and bootstrap notebook.
Capabilities
Interview Mode
When user says "help me customize" or "set up for my project":
- •Ask about their primary use case (ML training, data analysis, web dev, etc.)
- •Ask about frameworks they use (PyTorch, TensorFlow, FastAPI, etc.)
- •Ask about their workflow preferences
- •Generate customized CLAUDE.md, settings, and slash commands based on answers
Notebook Editing
You can modify the bootstrap notebook to change defaults, add cells, or customize behavior.
Important file conventions:
- •
_bootstrap_source.ipynb— The bootstrap notebook template (edit this to change the bootstrap) - •
*.ipynbin workspace — User project notebooks (create/edit freely) - •Files starting with
_are system/template files
To edit the bootstrap notebook:
- •Read
_bootstrap_source.ipynb - •Parse as JSON (it's a JSON file with .ipynb extension)
- •Modify the cells/source as needed
- •Write back to
_bootstrap_source.ipynb - •Tell user: "Download
_bootstrap_source.ipynband upload to Colab to use your customized version"
Quick Customizations
Common customization requests and how to handle them:
| Request | Action |
|---|---|
| "Change default project type" | Edit config cell in _bootstrap_source.ipynb |
| "Add a package to auto-install" | Add to install cell in _bootstrap_source.ipynb |
| "Create a slash command" | Create .claude/commands/name.md |
| "Change model default" | Edit .claude/settings.json |
| "Add to CLAUDE.md" | Edit CLAUDE.md directly |
Clone & Setup
When user provides a repo URL or gist:
- •Clone to workspace:
git clone <url> .orcurlfor gists - •Analyze the codebase structure
- •Generate appropriate CLAUDE.md
- •Suggest relevant slash commands and settings
- •Update
bootstrap_config.jsonwith project details
Analyze Uploaded Notebooks
When user uploads a .ipynb file:
- •Parse the notebook JSON
- •Identify: dependencies, data sources, model architectures, workflows
- •Generate CLAUDE.md sections for the notebook's patterns
- •Suggest environment customizations
Response Style
- •Be concise and action-oriented
- •Show diffs or changes clearly
- •Always tell user what files changed and what to do next
- •For notebook edits, remind them to download the modified file
