reinforcement-learning SKILL.md skillA

reinforcement-learning from aznatkoiny/zai-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add aznatkoiny/zai-skills/reinforcement-learning@git:20261010.5b03da5

Reinforcement learning in Python with Gymnasium and Stable-Baselines3 (PPO, SAC, DQN, TD3, A2C). Use when the user is building a custom Gymnasium environment, choosing an algorithm, training or tuning an agent, debugging an agent that won't learn (flat reward, collapse, NaNs), evaluating a policy, or exporting one to ONNX. Includes runnable scripts that validate an environment, sanity-check it before training, and write an evaluation report. Not for RL in C++/libtorch…

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

# Reinforcement learning (Python)

Help the user get an agent that actually learns, and show that it did. Most RL failures come from the environment and the setup (observation scale, reward design, termination flags, evaluation mistakes) rather than from the algorithm, so check those before reaching for exotic fixes.

The ecosystem moves: Gymnasium 1.x replaced OpenAI Gym, and SB3 changes defaults between releases. Before writing code against a specific API, check what the user has installed (`pip show gymnasium stable-baselines3`) and match it. If a web or docs tool is available, look up any API you're unsure of rather than relying on the snippets here. Current as of October 2026: Gymnasium 1.4, Stable-Baselines3 2.9 (Gymnasium 1.x support needs SB3 2.4 or later).

## Choosing a library and algorithm

Stable-Baselines3 is the default here: reliable implementations, good defaults, and the bundled scripts target it. CleanRL suits users who want to read and modify a single-file implementation; TorchRL suits custom research algorithms. For distributed training at scale, Ray RLlib is the usual choice, but this skill doesn't cover it.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aznatkoiny/zai-skills/reinforcement-learning@sha256:0f49320bce387ab5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261010.5b03da5, 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.
