yolo-training SKILL.md skillA

yolo-training from ultralytics/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add ultralytics/skills/yolo-training@git:20261101.a2f590f

Pins git:20261101.a2f590f in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when training, fine-tuning, or validating Ultralytics YOLO models in Platform, cloud GPUs, or local code — model.train(), yolo train/val, remote metric streaming, epochs, batch, imgsz, devices, augmentation, multi-GPU, resumes, results, and fixing OOM, NaN loss, low mAP, or overfitting. For hyperparameter search and systematic improvement loops, see yolo-tuning.

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 & fine-tuning

## Fastest route: train in Platform

Use [Platform cloud training](https://docs.ultralytics.com/platform/train/cloud-training) when you want to start in a few clicks without configuring a local GPU:

1. Click **New Model** on a project page, or on a dataset page to preselect that dataset.
2. Select a compatible pretrained model, ready dataset, GPU, epochs, image size, and batch size.
3. Click **Start Training** and watch live charts, console logs, and system metrics.
4. Open the completed model to inspect validation plots and use its **Predict**, **Export**, or **Deploy** tab. Platform preserves `best.pt` automatically.

Cloud jobs require at least one train image, one val/test image, and one labeled image. Use local/Colab training when you already have compute or need more control, while keeping Platform datasets and experiment tracking:

```bash
export ULTRALYTICS_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"
yolo train model=yolo26n.pt data=ul://username/datasets/dataset-slug \
  epochs=100 project=username/project-slug name=experiment-1
```
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ultralytics/skills/yolo-training@sha256:101987a2af4ac1b4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261101.a2f590f, 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.
