nlp SKILL.md skillA
nlp from ericrisco/rsc-harness is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Use when choosing how to tokenize text or which transformer type fits an NLP task, when a tokenizer over-fragments non-English text or inflates token cost, when picking a language metric, or when classification, NER or summarization output looks wrong and it is unclear whether the tokenizer, the architecture or the metric is at fault. Covers subword tokenizers, encoder versus decoder versus encoder-decoder choice, sentence embeddings, and the metric families. NOT retrieval or vector search…
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
# nlp — tokenize the text, pick the model type, pick the metric You own the **language-modeling discipline**: how raw text becomes tokens, which transformer architecture fits a task, and which metric actually tells you whether it worked. When the question is "which tokenizer," "BERT or GPT or T5 for this," "why does my Catalan text cost 3× the tokens," or "is this BLEU score meaningful," this is the skill. You stop at retrieval, the RAG loop, prompt wording, and the training step itself — those route out (below). ## Route out first (loud — do not duplicate these) - **Retrieval embeddings + vector search** (which embedding model, chunking, recall@k, rerank) → [`../embeddings-search/SKILL.md`](../embeddings-search/SKILL.md). Sentence embeddings *live here* as a task; using them to *retrieve* is theirs. - **The retrieve → prompt → generate → answer loop** and groundedness → [`../rag/SKILL.md`](../rag/SKILL.md). - **Prompt wording / few-shot / system prompts** → [`../prompt-engineering/SKILL.md`](../prompt-engineering/SKILL.md). - **Training the network** (LoRA/SFT, trainer loop, PyTorch) → [`../finetuning/SKILL.md`](../finetuning/SKILL.md) …

How to install
mdr add ericrisco/rsc-harness/nlp@sha256:13c2f1cd66be5c30The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260729.111532c, 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.
