training-pipeline-debugging SKILL.md skillA

training-pipeline-debugging from yeaight7/agent-powerups is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add yeaight7/agent-powerups/training-pipeline-debugging@git:20260605.2671f86

Use when an ML training run fails or misbehaves -- NaN losses, out-of-memory errors, shape mismatches, or a model that cannot fit even a single batch.

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

## Purpose

ML training bugs are often silent mathematical errors rather than explicit code crashes. This protocol localizes the standard failure classes quickly.

## When to Use

- Loss becomes NaN or diverges
- Training crashes with out-of-memory errors
- Shape/dimension errors at matrix multiplications or loss computation
- The pipeline runs but the model never learns

## Inputs

- The failing training script and its error output or loss curve

## Workflow

1. **Run the overfit test first**: fit a single batch of ~10 examples. If the model cannot achieve near-zero loss on a single batch, the pipeline is fundamentally broken — do not debug full runs until the single-batch test passes.
2. **NaN losses** — check:
   - Learning rate too high?
   - Missing data (NaNs in input)?
   - Log/Exp/Divide-by-zero in custom loss functions?
   - Exploding gradients (clip gradients)?
3. **OOM (out of memory)**:
   - Reduce batch size.
   - Check for memory leaks in the training loop (e.g., accumulating history across epochs without `.detach()`).
4. **Shape mismatches**:
   - Add temporary print statements or assertions on `tensor.shape` before matrix multiplications and loss calculations.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yeaight7/agent-powerups/training-pipeline-debugging@sha256:accac340a4a8defb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260605.2671f86, 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.
