ai-ml-engineering

ai-ml-engineering is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vignesh2027/AI-AGENT-SKILLS. It costs 20 tokens per session (922 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of practices for building machine-learning systems, including training models, measuring their quality, deploying them, and checking their safety.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before training or fine-tuning a model, deploying one, connecting to a large-language-model service, evaluating quality, or investigating unexpected results.
Why use it?
It helps catch problems that may not appear in tests, such as leaked training data, biased data, changing real-world inputs, or unsafe model behavior.

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

ai-ml-engineering 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.

Overview

ML engineering failures are silent and delayed. A model that scores well on the benchmark can fail badly in production. This skill enforces the practices that catch these failures before they reach users: proper evaluation harnesses, data leakage detection, distribution shift monitoring, and safety checks.

When to Use

  • Before training or fine-tuning a model
  • Before deploying a model to production
  • When integrating a third-party LLM API
  • When evaluating model quality
  • When debugging unexpected model behavior

Process

Step 1: Define the task and success metric precisely

Before any code: what is the exact prediction task? What metric proves the model is good enough? What metric proves it is safe enough? Document these as your evaluation contract.

Step 2: Establish the baseline

Compute a simple baseline (majority class, rule-based system, GPT-4 zero-shot). Your model must beat this baseline by a meaningful margin to justify the complexity.

Step 3: Audit the training data

  • Check for data leakage (test set information in training set)
  • Check for label quality (sample 100 examples manually)
  • Check for demographic skew (does the dataset represent production distribution?)
  • Check for PII that should not be in training data
  • Document the data provenance and version

Step 4: Implement a reproducible training pipeline

  • Pin all dependency versions
  • Set all random seeds
  • Version the dataset (not just the model)
  • Store training hyperparameters with model artifacts
  • Confirm: can you reproduce this exact model from scratch?

Step 5: Build the evaluation harness before training

Write your evaluation pipeline before training. Evaluations should be:

  • Automatic (run in CI)
  • Deterministic (same inputs → same scores)
  • Multi-dimensional (accuracy, latency, cost, safety, fairness)
  • Comprehensive (held-out test set + edge case suite)

Step 6: Train with monitoring

Track: training loss, validation loss, gradient norms. Flag: loss spikes, NaN gradients, overfitting (train loss << val loss), underfitting.

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.

ai-ml-engineering is a skill published in the GitHub repository vignesh2027/AI-AGENT-SKILLS (1 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 922 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
