## 🚀 Quick Start Commands

### Phase 1: Start Right Now

```bash
# 1. 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
