What is the Cookbook Audit skill used for?

It is a specialized tool for auditing technical notebooks (like .ipynb files) to ensure they follow best practices for education, code quality, and security before publication.

What documentation framework does this skill support?

It is informed by the Diataxis framework, focusing on action-oriented content that balances practical problem-solving with transferable conceptual understanding.

How does it handle security during an audit?

The skill runs an automated 'detect-secrets' scan using custom patterns to identify hardcoded API keys or credentials, checking them against a baseline to prevent security leaks.

Does this skill review the raw notebook code?

Yes, it converts notebooks into a clean markdown format in a temporary folder, allowing for a focused review of code and narrative without being distracted by large output blocks.

What are the core scoring dimensions?

Notebooks are scored out of 20 points across four key areas: Narrative Quality, Code Quality, Technical Accuracy, and Actionability & Understanding.
