# Strip noisy Jupyter output from notebooks before commit with nbstripout

Keep notebook diffs reviewable by removing execution output and excess metadata before notebooks land in Git history.

## Prerequisites

Python environment, nbstripout, Jupyter or IPython notebook files, and optional Git filter or pre-commit integration

## Installation

Choose whichever fits your setup:

1. Copy this skill folder into your local skills directory.
2. Clone the repo and symlink or copy the skill into your agent workspace.
3. Add the repo as a git submodule if you manage shared skills centrally.
4. Install it through your internal provisioning or packaging workflow.
5. Download the folder directly from GitHub and place it in your skills collection.

Install command or upstream instructions:

```
Install nbstripout from the upstream Python package, run it directly on notebook files or configure the documented Git filter or pre-commit integration, then verify notebooks are stripped before commit.
```
