agent-loop-safety

01

zorost/AI-Engineering-Lab

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Wrap an agent loop with step limits, cost caps, human approval gates, and a full trace. Use whenever building or reviewing any tool-calling agent before it touches real systems.

agent-ops-handoff

02

zorost/AI-Engineering-Lab

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Move an agent from laptop demo to operated system, tracing, cost dashboard, scheduled runs, alerting, and rollback. Use when an agent is about to run unattended or serve real users.

ai-output-review

03

zorost/AI-Engineering-Lab

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Review AI-generated code or text before accepting it, spec diff, verifier run, secret scan, and the AI smell list. Use before merging any agent-produced change.

cloud-deploy-gate

04

zorost/AI-Engineering-Lab

Skill Claude CodeCodex

The pre-deployment gate for managed AI platforms (Azure AI Foundry, Google Vertex AI, AWS Bedrock), evals packed, budget set, guardrails on, owner named. Use before any cloud deployment.

zorost/AI-Engineering-Lab

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Audit the seven claimants on an LLM call's context window, set a working ceiling, and cut in the right order. Use when prompts grow, agents drift, or token bills surprise you.

error-analysis-50

06

zorost/AI-Engineering-Lab

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Read 50 real failures by hand, cluster them into classes, fix the largest class, and extend the golden set. Use whenever an AI system's score stalls or its failures are 'mysterious'.

not rated 304 +71 16d ago A 46 tokens original MIT

zorost/AI-Engineering-Lab

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Build the golden set and the automated scorer before touching the prompt, model, or pipeline. Use whenever an AI output's quality will need to be measured, extraction, RAG, agents, classification.

fine-tune-readiness

08

zorost/AI-Engineering-Lab

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Decide whether fine-tuning is justified versus prompting or RAG, and gate the training dataset before any LoRA/SFT/DPO run. Use when someone says 'let's fine-tune'.

local-model-fit

09

zorost/AI-Engineering-Lab

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Compute the VRAM/RAM budget and pick a model size and quantization before downloading anything. Use when choosing local models, planning GPU hardware, or hitting out-of-memory errors.

mcp-server-craft

10

zorost/AI-Engineering-Lab

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Design and build an MCP server whose tools are narrow, typed, idempotent, and documented. Use when exposing any system to AI agents via the Model Context Protocol.

not rated 304 +71 16d ago A 40 tokens original MIT

zorost/AI-Engineering-Lab

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Improve a prompt as a versioned artifact with a score, change one variable at a time, keep the diff, read the failures. Use whenever editing prompts that must stay measurably good.

not rated 304 +71 16d ago A 44 tokens original MIT

zorost/AI-Engineering-Lab

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Verify a RAG pipeline end-to-end, chunking, embeddings, retrieval quality, reranking, grounded answers with citations. Use when building or debugging retrieval-augmented generation.

not rated 304 +71 16d ago A 42 tokens original MIT

zorost/AI-Engineering-Lab

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Write the one-page spec for an AI feature, user, golden set, metric, gate, refused tradeoffs, before any code or prompt work. Use when starting any AI feature, agent, or pipeline.
