model-merging
Merge multiple fine-tuned models using mergekit to combine capabilities without retraining. Use when creating specialized models by blending domain-specific expertise (math + coding + chat), improving performance beyond single models, or experimenting rapidly with model variants. Covers SLERP, TIES-Merging, DARE, Task Arithmetic, linear merging, and production deployment strategies.

W012: Unverifiable external dependency detected (runtime URL that controls agent).
What this means
The skill fetches instructions or code from an external URL at runtime, and the fetched content directly controls the agent’s prompts or executes code. This dynamic dependency allows the external source to modify the agent’s behavior without any changes to the skill itself.
Why it was flagged
The skill contains installation steps that git-clone and install remote repositories—e.g., "git clone https://github.com/arcee-ai/mergekit.git" and "git clone https://github.com/lm-sys/FastChat"—which fetch and install remote code used at runtime (mergekit is invoked by the examples), so these URLs are runtime dependencies that execute remote code.
