Google Colab Guide is an agent skill from wentorai/research-plugins. Run and manage Google Colab notebooks for Python and ML research
Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Jupyter notebooks and Deep learning. It works with Python and Google Drive. The repository describes itself as: 350+ academic research skills, MCP configs, and plugins for Research-Claw and AI agents. The licence is MIT.
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bf44b3c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
github.comAlso links to:
colab.research.google.comresearch.google.compytorch.orghuggingface.coFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Google Colab Guide loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 353 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

.claude/skills/google-colab-guide/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).Run Python code, train machine learning models, and perform data analysis using Google Colab's free cloud-hosted Jupyter notebooks with GPU and TPU access. This skill covers setup, resource management, persistent storage, and best practices for reproducible research computing.
Google Colab (Colaboratory) provides free access to GPU-accelerated Jupyter notebooks running on Google's cloud infrastructure. For academic researchers, Colab eliminates the barrier of expensive hardware for machine learning experiments, large-scale data processing, and computationally intensive statistical analyses. The free tier includes NVIDIA T4 GPUs, and paid tiers (Colab Pro, Pro+) offer A100 GPUs and extended runtime.
Colab notebooks run in ephemeral virtual machines that are recycled after inactivity or maximum runtime. This creates unique challenges for research: managing persistent data, saving checkpoints, reproducing results, and working with large datasets. This skill addresses these challenges with proven patterns used by ML researchers worldwide.
Colab integrates natively with Google Drive for storage, GitHub for version control, and supports the full Python scientific computing ecosystem (NumPy, pandas, scikit-learn, PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX). Each notebook runs in an isolated environment with root access, allowing installation of any Linux package or Python library.

Run and manage Google Colab notebooks for Python and ML research. Google Colab Guide is an agent skill from wentorai/research-plugins.
Google Colab Guide fits situations like: tasks that involve Jupyter notebooks; tasks that involve Deep learning.
Run `npx skills add wentorai/research-plugins --skill google-colab-guide -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/tools/code-exec/google-colab-guide in wentorai/research-plugins) into .claude/skills/google-colab-guide in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add wentorai/research-plugins --skill google-colab-guide -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/tools/code-exec/google-colab-guide in wentorai/research-plugins) into .agents/skills/google-colab-guide in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add wentorai/research-plugins --skill google-colab-guide -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/google-colab-guide, .gemini/skills/google-colab-guide, .github/skills/google-colab-guide and .opencode/skills/google-colab-guide in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Google Colab Guide is instructions for the agent only. Our summary lists: Python 3.
SKILL.md names 5 domains. In commands or code: github.com; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. As links in the text: colab.research.google.com, research.google.com, pytorch.org and huggingface.co. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Google Colab Guide is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.1k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 8.3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
