Create feature branch git checkout -b feature/interactive-colab # 2. Install tools pip install jupytext nbformat ipykernel # 3. Create notebooks directory mkdir -p notebooks # 4. Convert first guide jupytext --to notebook workspace/lab/GUIDE-00-START-HERE.md \ -o notebooks/01-mental-model.ipynb # 5. Edit notebook, add interactive cells # 6. Test in Colab # 7. Repeat for remaining guides ``` ### Phase 2: After Phase 1 Complete ```bash # 1. Create feature branch git checkout -b feature/codespaces-env # 2. Create devcontainer config mkdir -p .devcontainer # [create devcontainer.json] # 3. Test in Codespace # 4. Merge when validated ``` ### Phase 3: After Phase 2 Complete ```bash # 1. Create feature branch git checkout -b feature/advanced-interactive # 2. Build Streamlit app mkdir -p demos/streamlit-app # [create app.py, requirements.txt] # 3. Record videos # 4. Create Observable notebooks # 5. Merge when complete ``` --- ## 🎯 Next Actions (Immediate) **Right Now**: Execute Phase 1, Task 1.1 ```bash # Mark epic and first task as in-progress bd update claude-code-plugins-pvx.1 --status in_progress # Create feature branch git checkout -b feature/interactive-colab # Install tools pip install jupytext nbformat ipykernel # Create directory mkdir -p notebooks # Start converting first guide ``` --- ## 📝 Dependencies ### Required Tools - Python 3.8+ - pip (package manager) - git - jupytext (notebook converter) - nbformat (Jupyter format handler) - ipykernel (notebook kernel) ### Optional Tools (Phase 3) - Streamlit (`pip install streamlit`) - ffmpeg (video processing) - Observable account (free tier) ### Services Required - Google account (for Colab testing) - GitHub account (for Codespaces, already have) - Observable account (Phase 3, free) --- ## ⚠️ Risk Mitigation ### Risk 1: Notebooks Don't Run in Colab **Mitigation**: Test each notebook immediately after conversion, fix before moving to next ### Risk 2: Codespaces Resource Limits **Mitigation**: Keep environment minimal, document free tier limits clearly ### Risk 3: User Confusion (Too Many Options) **Mitigation**: Clear progression path in README: "Start with Colab → Try Codespaces → Explore Advanced" ### Risk 4: Maintenance Burden **Mitigation**: Keep notebooks in sync with markdown using jupytext bidirectional sync --- ## 🏁 Release Schedule - **v4.1.0**: Colab Notebooks (1 week from now) - **v4.2.0**: GitHub Codespaces (+1 week) - **v4.3.0**: Advanced Features (+2 weeks) Total timeline: ~1 month for all 3 phases --- **Ready to execute Phase 1!** Next command: ```bash bd update claude-code-plugins-pvx.1 --status in_progress ``` --- ## ✅ BEADS PLAN CREATED **Epic**: `claude-code-plugins-pvx` **Total Tasks**: 21 tasks (9 Phase 1 + 6 Phase 2 + 6 Phase 3) **Status**: All tasks created and synced to GitHub ### Task Breakdown **Phase 1: Colab Notebooks** (P1 - 9 tasks) ``` pvx.1 - Environment setup (30min) pvx.2 - Convert GUIDE-00 (1hr) pvx.3 - Convert ORCHESTRATION-PATTERN (2hrs) ⭐ BIGGEST pvx.4 - Convert GUIDE-01 (1hr) pvx.5 - Convert GUIDE-02 (1hr) pvx.6 - Convert GUIDE-03 (1hr) pvx.7 - Update README badges (30min) pvx.8 - Test & validate (1hr) pvx.9 - Release v4.1.0 (30min) ``` **Total Phase 1**: ~8.5 hours **Phase 2: Codespaces** (P2 - 6 tasks) ``` pvx.10 - Create devcontainer (30min) pvx.11 - Workspace config (30min) pvx.12 - Getting started guide (30min) pvx.13 - README badge (15min) pvx.14 - Test Codespaces (30min) pvx.15 - Release v4.2.0 (30min) ``` **Total Phase 2**: ~2.75 hours **Phase 3: Advanced** (P3 - 6 tasks) ``` pvx.16 - Streamlit demo (4hrs) pvx.17 - Video walkthroughs (3hrs) pvx.18 - Claude API examples (2hrs) pvx.19 - Decision tree (3hrs) pvx.20 - Observable notebooks (4hrs) pvx.21 - Release v4.3.0 (30min) ``` **Total Phase 3**: ~16.5 hours --- ## 🚀 START NOW: First Task ```bash # 1.
