ai-llm SKILL.md skillA
ai-llm from vasilyu1983/ai-agents-public is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add vasilyu1983/ai-agents-public/ai-llm@v2.3Pins v2.3 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Adapts LLMs: SFT dataset loss masking, LoRA and QLoRA, full FT vs PEFT, distillation, pruning, tokenizer fragmentation. Use when fine-tuning or compressing a model.
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
# LLM Adaptation Change a model's weights so it does a task better: supervised fine-tuning (SFT), parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT: LoRA, QLoRA, DoRA), full fine-tuning, distillation and compression recovery, plus the dataset and tokenizer work that decides whether any of it succeeds. Deciding *whether* to adapt at all (prompt vs thinking vs RAG vs fine-tune vs post-train) is not this skill. Use the single build ladder in [ai-architecture-advisor](../ai-architecture-advisor/SKILL.md#llm-lane-prompt---thinking---rag---fine-tune---post-train-agent-is-a-separate-axis) first, and come here once it says "fine-tune" or "distill". ## When to Use This Skill - Configuring LoRA or QLoRA: rank, alpha, alpha convention, target modules, learning rate - Choosing full fine-tuning vs PEFT, or escalating when LoRA plateaus - Building an SFT dataset: chat templates, prompt-token loss masking, packing, contamination control - Distilling a large teacher into a smaller student, or recovering quality after pruning - Diagnosing tokenizer fragmentation, fertility, or glitch tokens on a subset of inputs - Deciding whether a fine-tune pays back (break-even on volume and stability) …

How to install
mdr add vasilyu1983/ai-agents-public/ai-llm@sha256:538a991271e1c4cdThe line at the top of this page pins the label v2.3, 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.
