Plan and execute production ML engineering work — classifier versus generative model selection, zero-shot baselines, coding specialization, model training and fine-tuning (LoRA/QLoRA), evaluation and eval-set design, quantization decisions, inference deployment, lineage, feature parity, drift response, and regression triage, experimental weight inspection and targeted editing, grounded in practical engineering patterns for production ML systems. Do not use for statistical modeling and…

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

# ML Engineering Methodology

Machine learning engineering is the bridge between model research and production systems. This methodology covers the engineering disciplines needed to train, evaluate, deploy, and maintain ML models reliably.

## The ML Engineer's Domain

| You own | You don't own |
|---------|--------------|
| Model training — LoRA/QLoRA fine-tuning, full fine-tuning, distributed training | Statistical modeling and experimental design — that's the data scientist |
| Model evaluation — benchmark suites, custom eval sets, regression testing | Causal inference and hypothesis testing — that's the data scientist |
| Quantization — GGUF, GPTQ, AWQ, bitsandbytes | Training data collection and labeling — that's the data/ML ops team |
| Inference serving — [vLLM](../vllm/SKILL.md), [llama.cpp](../llama-cpp/SKILL.md), TGI, Triton | Business metrics and KPI definition — that's the product manager |
| Evaluation harness — lm-eval-harness, custom pipelines | Data pipeline architecture — that's the data engineer |
| Model deployment — containerization, versioning, A/B testing | Infrastructure provisioning — that's the platform engineer |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add magnus919/agent-skills/ml-engineering@sha256:b44a89f4cb3fe594

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261103.ab84034, 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.
