Use when fine-tuning LLMs, training custom models, or adapting foundation models for specific tasks. Invoke for configuring LoRA/QLoRA adapters, preparing JSONL training datasets, setting hyperparameters for fine-tuning runs, adapter training, transfer learning, finetuning with Hugging Face PEFT, OpenAI fine-tuning, instruction tuning, RLHF, DPO, or quantizing and deploying fine-tuned models. Trigger terms include: LoRA, QLoRA, PEFT, finetuning, fine-tuning, adapter tuning, LLM training, model training, custom model.

Quality
Discovery
100%Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.
This is an excellent skill description that comprehensively covers the fine-tuning domain with specific actions, explicit trigger guidance, and distinctive technical terminology. It uses proper third-person voice throughout and provides clear differentiation from general ML or coding skills through its specialized vocabulary.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'configuring LoRA/QLoRA adapters', 'preparing JSONL training datasets', 'setting hyperparameters', 'adapter training', 'transfer learning', 'quantizing and deploying fine-tuned models'. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what (fine-tuning LLMs, configuring adapters, preparing datasets, etc.) AND when with explicit 'Use when' and 'Invoke for' clauses plus a dedicated 'Trigger terms include' section. | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Excellent coverage of natural terms users would say, explicitly listing: 'LoRA, QLoRA, PEFT, finetuning, fine-tuning, adapter tuning, LLM training, model training, custom model' plus mentions of Hugging Face PEFT, OpenAI fine-tuning, RLHF, DPO. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Clear niche focused specifically on LLM fine-tuning and adapter training with highly specific technical terms (LoRA, QLoRA, PEFT, DPO, RLHF) that are unlikely to conflict with general ML or coding skills. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
100%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is an exemplary skill file that demonstrates best practices across all dimensions. It provides a complete, executable LoRA fine-tuning example while maintaining conciseness through smart use of inline comments and a reference table for deeper topics. The workflow includes explicit validation checkpoints and the constraints section provides clear guardrails without being verbose.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is lean and efficient, assuming Claude's ML competence. No unnecessary explanations of what fine-tuning is or how libraries work—jumps straight to actionable content with inline comments only where they add value. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides fully executable, copy-paste ready code with complete imports, configuration objects, and training loop. Includes concrete variants (QLoRA, merge) and specific hyperparameter values with rationale in comments. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear 5-step workflow with explicit checkpoints at each stage (validate dataset, monitor loss curves, collect metrics). Includes validation-before-proceeding gates and feedback loops for overfitting detection. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Excellent structure with quick-reference table pointing to one-level-deep reference files for detailed topics. Core workflow and working example are inline; specialized content is appropriately externalized with clear navigation. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
