Accomplished two complete project phases in one day, establishing the full foundation and implementing a comprehensive Markdown parser for the tome project's notebook format with excellent test coverage and documentation.

Highlights

  • Completed full project foundation setup with Python packaging, CLI interface, testing infrastructure, and CI/CD pipeline

  • Successfully implemented complete Markdown parser for .pnb.md files with YAML frontmatter and code block extraction

  • Achieved 94% test coverage with 34 comprehensive test cases and strict type checking compliance

  • Created comprehensive examples and documentation including syntax reference guide

  • Delivered two complete project phases (Phase 0 and Phase 1) in a single day with all exit criteria met

Technical Decisions

  • Chose Click framework for CLI interface implementation

  • Selected pytest with coverage reporting for testing infrastructure

  • Implemented dataclass-based AST structure with ParseError exception handling and line number tracking

  • Used YAML frontmatter parsing with validation for notebook metadata

  • Configured strict mypy type checking and development tools (black, ruff) for code quality

Learning Moments

  • Explored structured notebook format design with labeled code blocks and attribute parsing

  • Implemented comprehensive error handling with helpful messages and line number reporting

  • Developed parser for custom .pnb.md format combining YAML frontmatter with enhanced markdown code fences
