Only update for real, reproducible issues. ## When to Use This Skill Use this skill when: - Starting a new ML experiment that will run for hours - Validating model architecture before full training - Checking gradient flow and data pipeline integrity - Implementing POC validation checklists - Debugging prediction collapse or gradient explosion issues --- ## 1.

POC Validation Checklist ### Minimum Viable POC (5 Checks) ```python …
