model-scaffold SKILL.md skillA

model-scaffold from aperivue/medsci-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add aperivue/medsci-skills/model-scaffold@git:20261004.5b44a65

Pins git:20261004.5b44a65 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when you need a runnable PyTorch training repo for a medical-imaging task (segmentation, classification, detection, synthesis, self-supervised, or fine-tuning a pretrained backbone). Emits a patient-level seed-locked split, train/evaluate scripts, config and a Methods stub.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Model-Scaffold Skill

## Purpose

This skill stamps out a **runnable PyTorch training repo** for a medical-imaging task — `--task`
**segmentation** (U-Net), **classification** (CNN / `timm` backbone), **detection** (torchvision Faster
R-CNN / FPN), **synthesis** (Pix2Pix generator + PatchGAN), **ssl** (SimCLR encoder), or **finetune**
(transfer-learning a pretrained backbone with a frozen→unfrozen schedule + a provenance record) —
with the reproducibility guarantees **baked in by construction** — so the build is leakage-safe and
reproducible before a single epoch runs. It is the imaging analogue of how `/analyze-stats` generates
runnable statistical code: the generator produces the repo, you run the training on your GPU / Colab,
and the lane's deterministic gates verify the network-free parts.

It is the **missing middle link** in the lane: `/model-selection` (choose) → **model-scaffold (build)**
→ `/model-assessment` (validate the split / design, compute metrics) → `/analyze-stats`
→ `/write-paper` + `/check-reporting` (publish). It **integrates** MONAI / nnU-Net / TorchIO (referenced
in the generated `requirements.txt`); it does not reimplement them.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aperivue/medsci-skills/model-scaffold@sha256:d0c0d20bbeab5a42

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261004.5b44a65, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
