Quick brief

Use Jupytext when an agent needs to convert or pair Jupyter notebooks with plain-text representations for editing, diff review, or cleaner repository history. A user should invoke this instead of using notebooks normally when the problem is notebook-to-text pairing, not interactive notebook execution itself. The scope boundary is specific: Jupytext handles notebook/text synchronization and pairing for collaboration workflows, not general notebook hosting, execution, or data-science platform usage.
