This is the router skill for the fine-tuning lifecycle: it decides whether fine-tuning is the right tool at all, and if so, which method and which base-model size class. Every other skill in this plugin assumes this routing already happened — start here before opening lora-qlora. Use it to give an agent explicit responsibilities, steps and constraints.
This skill assumes finetuning-method-selection already routed here — the next step is preparing data, not choosing a method. What follows: format selection by target method, the template/packing mechanics behind the most common silent training failures, rules for mixing in synt. Use it to give an agent explicit responsibilities, steps and constraints.
Few-shot learning enables LLMs to perform tasks by providing a small number of examples (typically 1-10) within the prompt. This technique is highly effective for tasks requiring specific formats, styles, or domain knowledge. Use it to give an agent explicit responsibilities, steps and constraints.
