agents
Patterns and architectures for building AI agents and workflows with LLMs. Use when designing systems that involve tool use, multi-step reasoning, autonomous decision-making, or orchestration of LLM-driven tasks.
context-engineering
Strategies for managing LLM context windows effectively in AI agents. Use when building agents that handle long conversations, multi-step tasks, tool orchestration, or need to maintain coherence across extended interactions.
lora
Parameter-efficient fine-tuning with Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA). Use when fine-tuning large language models with limited GPU memory, creating task-specific adapters, or when you need to train multiple specialized models from a single base.
mlx
Running and fine-tuning LLMs on Apple Silicon with MLX. Use when working with models locally on Mac, converting Hugging Face models to MLX format, fine-tuning with LoRA/QLoRA on Apple Silicon, or serving models via HTTP API.
prompt-engineering
Crafting effective prompts for LLMs. Use when designing prompts, improving output quality, structuring complex instructions, or debugging poor model responses.
pytorch
Building and training neural networks with PyTorch. Use when implementing deep learning models, training loops, data pipelines, model optimization with torch.compile, distributed training, or deploying PyTorch models.
qlora
Memory-efficient fine-tuning with 4-bit quantization and LoRA adapters. Use when fine-tuning large models (7B+) on consumer GPUs, when VRAM is limited, or when standard LoRA still exceeds memory. Builds on the lora skill.
rlhf
Understanding Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) for aligning language models. Use when learning about preference data, reward modeling, policy optimization, or direct alignment algorithms like DPO.
transformers
Loading and using pretrained models with Hugging Face Transformers. Use when working with pretrained models from the Hub, running inference with Pipeline API, fine-tuning models with Trainer, or handling text, vision, audio, and multimodal tasks.
