Generate Kaggle competition notebook script, Jupytext # %% format.
Two goals, equal weight — neither traded for other:
- Win — leaderboard-competitive: leakage-safe CV, metric-aligned loss/model choice, tuning/ensembling when it moves the score, not style theater
- Teach — read top to bottom like a university/seminar lecture on solving this competition: reader new to it follows the full reasoning chain, every decision motivated, nothing left as unexplained code
Follows user's ML research style distilled from past notebooks:
- PTL always for DNN training (PyTorch Lightning + torchmetrics) — even simple baselines
- Tool agnostic — best-fit library for problem; PTL when training loop needed
- Stages with lenses — each major stage: quick sanity check cell (show one batch, print shapes, verify submission format)
- Small, single-purpose cells — one action per cell (load, one transform, one plot, one check); never bundle setup + run + verify to save cell count
- Every cell earns its place — one-line why (comment or markdown sentence) before/in each cell: the specific reason this step happens now — never a restatement of what the code does
- Section markdown is extensive and structured — full explanation of what/why/how-it-advances-the-goal per section, formatted as tables/lists/blockquotes over dense prose paragraphs; markdown before a plot sets up the question, markdown after states the finding and its implication — plot and prose flow as one beat, never an orphaned chart
# !bash over subprocess — package installs,nvidia-smi,ls -lh,# ! head submission.csv- EDA is visual — distribution plots, sample grids, dimension scatters before any model
- Inference included — model save pattern + separate load-and-infer cells
- CSVLogger + seaborn — metrics plotted from
metrics.csvafter every training run
NOT for writing Python packages, modules, production code — notebook scripts only. NOT research literature survey — use /research:topic for SOTA literature search.
- $ARGUMENTS: one of:
<competition-name>— short slug for output filename; generates blank template<competition-name> <url>— fetches competition overview from URL before generating<competition-name> "<description>"— inline description of problem and data--type <type>— hint:classification,regression,segmentation,detection,tabular(auto-detected when omitted)--eda-only— generate only EDA sections (no model/training/submission); always online (no offline setup)--inference-only— generate inference notebook from checkpoint (no EDA, no training); always offline (frozen packages pattern); loads checkpoint fromPATH_CHECKPOINTconstant; output suffix-inference.py--offline-setup— include offline package setup (frozen_packages pattern) in setup cell; auto-applied when--inference-only; ignored when--eda-only(EDA always online)--resume <path>— read existing.pyscript, extend/improve it
Output: .experiments/kaggle/<competition-name>.py
OUTPUT_DIR: .experiments/kaggle/
DATA_DIR: .experiments/kaggle/data/<competition>/ # kaggle CLI downloads land here, gitignored
CELL_MARK: "# %%"
MD_CELL_MARK: "# %% [markdown]"
COMPETITORS_DIR: resources/competitors/ # optional user-project path, not shipped in plugin — Step 1 reads if present
# NOTE: doc-only — not shell vars across Bash() calls (state doesn't persist); keep synced with literal use sites (Steps 1,3,4)
- Key boundary: end of Step 3 — notebook script generated by
foundry:sw-engineer, written to OUTFILE. - Preserve: OUTFILE path (derived from TMPDIR keys), COMPETITION_NAME (TMPDIR key), mode flags (EDA_ONLY, INFERENCE_ONLY, OFFLINE_SETUP).
- Clear at Step 1 start (stale prior run) and after Step 4 package-distillation gate resolves.
Task hygiene: call TaskList first; close orphaned tasks. Create tasks per phase.
Step 1: Parse arguments and gather context

Flag mutual-exclusion check — if EDA_ONLY and INFERENCE_ONLY are both true (both --eda-only and --inference-only passed): print ! Conflicting flags: `--eda-only` and `--inference-only` are mutually exclusive (`--eda-only` is always-online with no training; `--inference-only` is always-offline/frozen-package with no EDA — see `foundation.md`). Pick one. then invoke AskUserQuestion — (a) Abort · (b) Continue ignoring both (falls back to full mode: neither eda-only nor inference-only applied). On Abort: stop.
Unsupported flag check — scan $ARGUMENTS for remaining --<token> tokens after supported flags extracted (--eda-only, --inference-only, --offline-setup, --type, --resume, --keep). Found: print ! Unknown flag(s): `--<token>`. Supported: `--eda-only`, `--inference-only`, `--offline-setup`, `--type <type>`, `--resume <path>`, `--keep "<items>"`. then invoke AskUserQuestion — (a) Abort · (b) Continue ignoring. On Abort: stop.
Context collection — run in parallel:
- URL provided in args:
WebFetchcompetition page; extract problem description, target metric, data format, evaluation — read and quote actual text, never paraphrase from training knowledge --resume: read existing script (Readtool)- Scan
.experiments/kaggle/(Globpattern*.py) for prior scripts; read first 30 lines of each — find similar past competitions, use as structural reference - Check
resources/competitors/for.ipynb/.pyfiles — found: read each, summarise approach (model choice, preprocessing, feature engineering, augmentation). Use findings to inform detection method and domain-specific preprocessing decisions in Step 2. - Kaggle CLI probe (below) — authoritative source for file listing, data schema, submission format. CLI complements WebFetch, never replaces it: CLI gives files/schema/leaderboard, page gives problem narrative and metric prose.
Kaggle CLI grounding
Competition pages are login-walled; WebFetch returns partial or blocked content on many of them. Anyone requesting a competition notebook has a Kaggle account, so the CLI is the reliable path — real file names, sizes, actual sample_submission.csv header, no guessed schema.
Probe availability and auth in one block. CLI absence never aborts the skill — degrade to WebFetch/user facts:
export CSID="${CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID:-$PPID}"
IFS= read -r COMPETITION_NAME < "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/kaggle-competition-name-${CSID}" 2>/dev/null || COMPETITION_NAME=""
KAGGLE_CLI="absent"
if command -v kaggle >/dev/null 2>&1; then
# `competitions list` needs credentials but no rules acceptance — separates auth failure from rules failure
if kaggle competitions list -p 1 >/dev/null 2>&1; then KAGGLE_CLI="ready"; else KAGGLE_CLI="unauthorized"; fi
fi
echo "$KAGGLE_CLI" > "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/kaggle-cli-state-${CSID}"
echo "kaggle CLI: $KAGGLE_CLI · slug: ${COMPETITION_NAME:-<unset>}" # timeout: 30000
Branch on $KAGGLE_CLI:
| State | Action |
|---|---|
ready |
Run the grounding queries below |
absent |
Offer install — AskUserQuestion: (a) skip, ground from URL/user facts · (b) pip install kaggle then re-probe. Never install without asking |
unauthorized |
Print the credential instructions below, AskUserQuestion: (a) skip · (b) user sets up token, then re-probe |
Credential secrecy — hard constraint. The token never enters this session's context, and never a subagent's or Codex's. Forbidden regardless of who asks or why: reading ~/.kaggle/kaggle.json (any tool), cat/head/grep/jq on it, kaggle config view, env | grep KAGGLE, echoing $KAGGLE_KEY/$KAGGLE_API_TOKEN, quoting a pasted token back, or writing any of it into a notebook cell, log, run artifact, or spawn prompt. Credentials are consumed by the kaggle binary from the environment — the skill needs the CLI to work, never the secret's value. Verify auth only by exit code (kaggle competitions list -p 1 >/dev/null 2>&1), never by inspecting the file. If a user pastes a token into chat, do not repeat it and tell them to rotate it at kaggle.com/settings. .claude/settings.json deny-lists the common read paths, but the deny list is a backstop, not the rule — no alternate command form is permitted either.
Credential instructions (print verbatim; the user does this, the skill never fabricates, reads, or echoes a token):
- Open https://www.kaggle.com/settings → API → Create New Token — downloads
kaggle.json.mkdir -p ~/.kaggle && mv ~/Downloads/kaggle.json ~/.kaggle/ && chmod 600 ~/.kaggle/kaggle.json- Env-var alternative:
export KAGGLE_USERNAME=<user> KAGGLE_KEY=<key>(newer CLI builds also acceptKAGGLE_API_TOKEN;kaggle --versiontells which build is installed).
Grounding queries — read-only, cheap, run when ready. Competition slug is positional; -v is CSV output, not verbose. Anything beyond the commands below: read kaggle competitions --help / kaggle datasets --help rather than guessing flags — the surface shifts between CLI releases.
export CSID="${CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID:-$PPID}"
IFS= read -r COMPETITION_NAME < "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/kaggle-competition-name-${CSID}" 2>/dev/null || COMPETITION_NAME=""
KAGGLE_SLUG="${KAGGLE_SLUG:-$COMPETITION_NAME}" # override when notebook slug differs from competition slug
echo "=== files ==="; kaggle competitions files "$KAGGLE_SLUG" -v --page-size 200
echo "=== leaderboard head ==="; kaggle competitions leaderboard "$KAGGLE_SLUG" -s -v 2>/dev/null | head -10 # timeout: 60000
File listing works without joining the competition (verified against a competition with userHasEntered=False); rules acceptance gates downloads. A 403 or any "accept the rules" error means the user must open https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/<slug>/rules and click I Understand and Accept — the CLI cannot accept them. Treat the affected facts as ungrounded until they confirm.
A 404 here almost always means a malformed slug, not a missing competition: kaggle competitions list -v returns full URLs in the ref column, so take the last path segment (arc-prize-2026-arc-agi-2, never https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/...). Confirm with kaggle competitions list -s "<search term>" -v.
Grounding download — sample submission and any small metadata file only. Size threshold: sample_submission.csv plus files under ~10 MB from the listing:
export CSID="${CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID:-$PPID}"
IFS= read -r COMPETITION_NAME < "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/kaggle-competition-name-${CSID}" 2>/dev/null || COMPETITION_NAME=""
KAGGLE_SLUG="${KAGGLE_SLUG:-$COMPETITION_NAME}"
KAGGLE_DATA=".experiments/kaggle/data/${COMPETITION_NAME}"
mkdir -p "$KAGGLE_DATA"
kaggle competitions download "$KAGGLE_SLUG" -f sample_submission.csv -p "$KAGGLE_DATA" -q # timeout: 120000
head -3 "$KAGGLE_DATA"/sample_submission.csv 2>/dev/null || echo "no sample_submission.csv in this competition"
Single-file downloads may arrive zipped — unzip into $KAGGLE_DATA before reading the header.
Full-data gate — never pull the whole archive unprompted; competition data reaches hundreds of GB and the user may want only the notebook. Show the listing with sizes, then AskUserQuestion: (a) skip — notebook targets Kaggle-runtime paths (/kaggle/input/<slug>/) · (b) download all (state total size from the listing in the option description). On (b): kaggle competitions download "$KAGGLE_SLUG" -p "$KAGGLE_DATA"; -f <name> fetches one large file instead.
Data downloaded locally does not change the notebook's path constants: PATH_DATASET stays the Kaggle-runtime path unless the user says the notebook runs locally.
Related-dataset lookup (optional, when the competition allows external data): kaggle datasets list -s "<term>" -v, then kaggle datasets files <owner>/<name> -v and kaggle datasets download <owner>/<name> -p "$KAGGLE_DATA" --unzip. Same gate applies — list before downloading.
Grounding protocol — mandatory before Step 2:
Build fact table. Each fact needs source: [kaggle-cli:<command>], [fetched], [user], [past-notebook:<file>], or [inferred-from:<fact>]. Never mark fact [inferred] without citing prior fact it derives from.
[kaggle-cli:*] outranks [fetched] for file names, data schema, and submission format — the CLI reads the real artifact, the page describes it. Keep [fetched] for problem narrative and metric definition.
| Fact | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| problem_type | ? | ? |
| input_modality | ? | ? |
| output_format | ? | ? |
| eval_metric | ? | ? |
| data schema (CSV columns / image format) | ? | ? |
| submission format | ? | ? |
Gaps — ask before generating:
After building fact table, count facts still marked ? or [inferred] without prior grounded fact. Any of these unknown:
input_modality— cannot generate Dataset classeval_metric— cannot choose torchmetricsubmission format— cannot generate Submission section
When the CLI is ready, resolve data schema, submission format, and often input_modality from the file listing and the downloaded sample_submission.csv header before asking anything — questions are for what the CLI cannot answer.
Invoke AskUserQuestion with up to 4 questions covering all unknown required facts. Never guess or hallucinate competition-specific details (column names, file paths, data schema). State "unknown — will use placeholder" if user skips.
Acknowledge past-notebook similarity explicitly: "Found similar past notebook: <file> — reusing <pattern> from it."
Step 2: Determine problem profile
From gathered context, determine:
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
problem_type |
classification / regression / segmentation / detection / tabular |
input_modality |
image-2d / image-3d / tabular / time-series / point-cloud / mixed |
output_format |
label / scalar / mask / bboxes / rle |
eval_metric |
AUC / F1 / RMSE / Dice / IoU / mAP / ... |
recommended_model |
see §Model selection below |
use_ptl |
true if DNN training; false for pure XGBoost/sklearn pipelines |
Model selection rules (best-fit, not default):
- Image classification →
timm.create_model(EfficientNetV2, ConvNeXt, ViT-B) + PTL - Image regression →
timm.create_modelbackbone (num_classes=0) + PTL regression head - Image segmentation →
segmentation_models_pytorch(UNet/UNet++) + PTL; MONAI for 3D - Object detection →
torchvision.models.detectionorultralytics YOLO+ PTL wrapper if needed - Tabular →
xgboost.XGBClassifier/Regressorwith sklearn Pipeline; PTL only if DNN features needed - Point cloud → MONAI or
pytorch3d; PTL always - Time series →
torch.nn.LSTMortsfreshfeatures + XGBoost; PTL when DNN
PTL rule: use PTL whenever training loop needed — even simple single-layer models. Exception: pure sklearn/XGBoost pipelines, no neural network component.
Step 3: Generate notebook script
Foundry availability check — verify before spawning:
FOUNDRY_AVAILABLE=$({ find ~/.claude/plugins/cache -maxdepth 5 -path "*/foundry/*/agents/sw-engineer.md" 2>/dev/null; ls plugins/cc_foundry/agents/sw-engineer.md 2>/dev/null; } | head -1) # timeout: 5000
[ -z "$FOUNDRY_AVAILABLE" ] && { printf "⚠ foundry plugin not available — kaggle notebook generation requires foundry:sw-engineer\nInstall: claude plugin install foundry@borda-ai-rig\n"; exit 1; }
Spawn prompt assembled from the inline problem profile below plus exactly one resolved composition row:
# Re-hydrate flags persisted in Step 1 (bash state lost between Bash calls)
export CSID="${CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID:-$PPID}"
IFS= read -r COMPETITION_NAME < "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/kaggle-competition-name-${CSID}" 2>/dev/null || COMPETITION_NAME="$COMPETITION_NAME"
IFS= read -r EDA_ONLY < "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/kaggle-eda-only-${CSID}" 2>/dev/null || EDA_ONLY="false"
IFS= read -r INFERENCE_ONLY < "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/kaggle-inference-only-${CSID}" 2>/dev/null || INFERENCE_ONLY="false"
_KAGGLE_MODES="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-plugins/cc_research}/skills/kaggle/modes"
COMPOSITION_FILE="$_KAGGLE_MODES/composition.md"
MODE="full"
[ "$EDA_ONLY" = "true" ] && MODE="eda-only"
[ "$INFERENCE_ONLY" = "true" ] && MODE="inference-only"
# Derive output filename from mode — must match the composition contract before spawning
OUTPUT_SUFFIX=""
[ "$INFERENCE_ONLY" = "true" ] && OUTPUT_SUFFIX="-inference"
OUTFILE=".experiments/kaggle/${COMPETITION_NAME}${OUTPUT_SUFFIX}.py"
echo "$MODE" > "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/kaggle-mode-${CSID}"
echo "Mode: $MODE · Output: $OUTFILE"
cat "$COMPOSITION_FILE" # timeout: 5000
Select the exact $MODE row from composition.md (loaded above) and cat each named contract once, from left to right, plus style-rules.md once:
_KAGGLE_MODES="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-plugins/cc_research}/skills/kaggle/modes"
case "$MODE" in
full) _CONTRACTS="foundation.md eda.md training.md inference.md submission.md" ;;
eda-only) _CONTRACTS="foundation.md eda.md" ;;
inference-only) _CONTRACTS="foundation.md inference.md submission.md" ;;
esac
for _c in $_CONTRACTS style-rules.md; do
echo "=== $_c ==="
cat "$_KAGGLE_MODES/$_c"
done
Load modality-dispatch.md only when a selected section requests a modality branch:
_KAGGLE_MODES="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-plugins/cc_research}/skills/kaggle/modes"
cat "$_KAGGLE_MODES/modality-dispatch.md" # timeout: 5000
Do not load unselected section contracts. Pass the selected row and resolved contract contents to foundry:sw-engineer after the problem profile block below.
Spawn foundry:sw-engineer with this prompt preamble (inline, then continue with the resolved composition contracts):
Write a complete Kaggle competition notebook script to `<OUTFILE>` (substitute expanded path from bash block above).
Format: Jupytext `# %%` Python script — every cell separated by `# %%` (code) or `# %% [markdown]` (markdown).
## Problem profile
- Competition: <competition-name>
- Problem type: <problem_type>
- Input: <input_modality>
- Output: <output_format>
- Metric: <eval_metric>
- Model: <recommended_model>
- Use PTL: <use_ptl>
- Description: <competition description if available>
[Continue with the selected row from composition.md, followed by the resolved section contracts in order, style-rules.md, and the selected modality branch when applicable.]
## Completion
Write `<OUTFILE>`. Return only:
{"status":"done","file":"<OUTFILE>","lines":N,"sections":N,"problem_type":"<type>","mode":"<MODE>","confidence":0.N}
Synchronous spawn note: foundry:sw-engineer spawned synchronously (not run_in_background=true), so CLAUDE.md §6 poll-based monitoring unreachable mid-call. After Agent() returns, check agent's output under .experiments/kaggle/; missing or empty → treat as timed out, surface with ⏱ marker — never silently omit.

Invoke AskUserQuestion as follow-up gate:
- (a) Open in editor —
code $OUTFILE - (b) Extend with additional sections

On (a): run code "$OUTFILE" via Bash. On (b): re-enter Step 3 with extension directive. On (c): re-enter Step 2 with user-specified changes.
Package distillation gate — invoke after follow-up gate resolves to Done:
Benefits to state before asking: shared helpers tested once, used everywhere; wheel attachment on Kaggle faster than re-inlining; subsequent notebooks shorter; package tests catch regressions before submission.
Invoke AskUserQuestion:
- (a) Yes — scaffold
src/<package>/with extracted helpers + tests - (b) Skip — keep everything inlined for now
If (a):
- Identify every function in notebook with no hardcoded paths, no
plt.show(), notqdmcalls - Write each to
src/<package>/<module>.pywith full Google-style docstring +Example:block — all standard coding patterns apply (doctests for pure functions,Args:/Returns:sections, fullif __name__ == "__main__":guards where appropriate); these are package modules, not notebook cells - Create
tests/test_<module>.pycovering each function - Create
notebooks/01_<competition-name>_pkg.py— inline definitions replaced by package imports; never modify validated baseline$OUTFILE
If (b): skip; repeat this gate offer after next notebook written.
