dspy-bootstrap-finetune

dspy-bootstrap-finetune is a skill for Claude Code from lebsral/DSPy-Programming-not-prompting-LMs-skills. It costs 198 tokens per session (3,958 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A DSPy method that uses a stronger teacher AI model to create training examples, then fine-tunes a smaller student model. Fine-tuning adjusts a model's weights using examples so it behaves better for a particular task.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to generate training data with a strong model and fine-tune a weaker model, such as transferring GPT-4-level examples to a cheaper model.
Why use it?
It helps transfer some of a stronger model's quality to a smaller or cheaper model. This can reduce the cost of running the model while keeping task-specific performance.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

dspy-bootstrap-finetune scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
