Packaging a demo lab
Turning a notebook into a **shareable demo**: README, env example, pinned deps, sample data, and clear limitations—without leaking secrets.
What it is
Turning a notebook into a shareable demo: README, env example, pinned deps, sample data, and clear limitations—without leaking secrets.
Why it matters
Demos that only run on your laptop don’t help teammates or ANN learners.
How it works (plain)
Freeze requirements → .env.example → sample inputs → one-command run → document failure modes and eval status.
Try it
Package your mini RAG lab with a 3-file sample corpus and a README “what this is not.”
Myths
- ⚠️ Myth: A screen recording is packaging.
- ✓ Reality: Reproducible steps beat video alone.
