model-selection SKILL.md skillA

model-selection from aperivue/medsci-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add aperivue/medsci-skills/model-selection@git:20261002.0400856

Pins git:20261002.0400856 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when choosing the model for a medical-imaging study. Picks a paper-grounded architecture family (CNN/ViT, U-Net/nnU-Net, detection, SAM/foundation, GNN), then vets the concrete repo or checkpoint for licence, version pin, weight provenance and benchmark overlap.

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

# Model-Selection Skill

Two questions, in this order. Phases 1–3 answer a literature question with a stable answer: which
architecture **family** suits the task. Phases 4–6 answer a provenance question: which concrete
**artifact** — repository, revision, checkpoint — will be run, and what its numbers may claim.
The skill writes decision notes and runs one stdlib gate; it never downloads, runs, trains or
benchmarks a model, and it describes archetypes, not a live SOTA leaderboard.

Elsewhere: building the repo → `/model-scaffold`; profiling data and planning preprocessing →
`/imaging-data`; validation design, metrics, uncertainty, explainability → `/model-assessment`;
documenting a model you built → `/model-card`; an LLM/MLLM, including benchmark contamination in
that setting → `/mllm-eval`; AI-vs-expert reader study → `/design-ai-benchmarking`.

## Workflow

### Phase 1 — Frame the question
State the **task** (classification / segmentation / detection / synthesis / transfer), the
**modality and dimensionality** (2-D vs 3-D volume), the **labelled-data scale** (events /
structures, not just images), **label availability** (lots / few / unlabelled pool), and the
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aperivue/medsci-skills/model-selection@sha256:d800d0379f2bcc5e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.0400856, 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.
