Make scientific training visible and recoverable through scale-free loss histories, validation/task curves, early stopping, shared Trackio metrics/QC and full-cohort health checks. Use when launching, resuming, monitoring or reviewing a scientific training run, or onboarding its saved outputs into Trackio.
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
# Training Run Hygiene A completed run is not a healthy one. Every rule here exists to make "this model is not learning" visible while the run is still cheap to stop. ## Publish Training And QC To The Shared Trackio Dashboard Use Trackio for new scientific training experiments and onboard currently running experiments from their saved outputs. Keep each experiment's canonical output directory authoritative: metrics, histories, checkpoints and QC stay there. Tracking is a derived index; a server outage must not lose local results or force an otherwise recoverable training job to fail. Use one shared server rather than a server per manager. On CRI, read the maintained setup and onboarding instructions in `/gpfs/data/karczmar-lab/hfdp/scripts/tracking/README.md`; reuse its server, environment, exporter and backup owner. Those host-specific details are not defaults for other clusters. Do not restart shared infrastructure to onboard a lane. - Name the project `<lane>-<manager>`, with stable lowercase names, such as `vanguard-hal`. Each logical experiment is a run across scheduler allocations; related experiments share a `group`. Record `manager`, `lane`, `experiment_dir` …

How to install
mdr add uchicago-dsi/ai-sci-skills/training-run-hygiene@sha256:18f793218b25d221The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261103.017a715, 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.
