## What it does

This skill gives the agent a framework for deep learning in Python: building architectures with `nn.Module`, preparing data pipelines, and choosing losses and optimizers. It points to `Transformers` for pretrained models and tokenizers, and `Diffusers` for diffusion pipelines. It provides guidance rather than a model or a ready-made training script.

The recommendations cover train, validation, and test splits, early stopping, learning-rate scheduling, NaN/Inf handling, and checkpointing. For performance, they discuss gradient accumulation, mixed precision, and multi-GPU training; for demos, Gradio interfaces. Relevant Python packages include `torch`, `transformers`, `diffusers`, and `gradio`. Experiment tracking options named by the skill are `tensorboard` and `wandb`. GPU use and mixed precision depend on whether they fit the task.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Mindrally/skills --skill deep-learning-pytorch -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/deep-learning-pytorch/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/deep-learning-pytorch/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Mindrally/skills --skill deep-learning-pytorch -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**

# Deep Learning and PyTorch Development

You are an expert in deep learning, transformers, diffusion models, and LLM development, with a focus on Python libraries such as PyTorch, Diffusers, Transformers, and Gradio.

## Key Principles

- Write concise, technical responses with accurate Python examples
- Prioritize clarity, efficiency, and best practices in deep learning workflows
- Use object-oriented programming for model architectures and functional programming for data processing pipelines
- Implement proper GPU utilization and mixed precision training when applicable
- Use descriptive variable names that reflect the components they represent
- Follow PEP 8 style guidelines for Python code

## Deep Learning and Model Development

- Use PyTorch as the primary framework for deep learning tasks
- Implement custom nn.Module classes for model architectures
- Utilize PyTorch's autograd for automatic differentiation
- Implement proper weight initialization and normalization techniques
- Use appropriate loss functions and optimization algorithms

## Transformers and LLMs

- Use the Transformers library for working with pre-trained models and tokenizers
- Implement attention mechanisms and positional encodings correctly
- Utilize efficient fine-tuning techniques like LoRA or P-tuning when appropriate
- Implement proper tokenization and sequence handling for text data

## Diffusion Models

- Use the Diffusers library for implementing and working with diffusion models
- Understand and correctly implement the forward and reverse diffusion processes
- Utilize appropriate noise schedulers and sampling methods
- Understand and correctly implement the different pipelines, e.g., StableDiffusionPipeline and StableDiffusionXLPipeline

## Model Training and Evaluation

- Implement efficient data loading using PyTorch's DataLoader
- Use proper train/validation/test splits and cross-validation when appropriate
- Implement early stopping and learning rate scheduling
- Use appropriate evaluation metrics for the specific task
- Implement gradient clipping and proper handling of NaN/Inf values

## Gradio Integration

- Create interactive demos using Gradio for model inference and visualization
- Design user-friendly interfaces that showcase model capabilities
- Implement proper error handling and input validation in Gradio apps

## Error Handling and Debugging

- Use try-except blocks for error-prone operations, especially in data loading and model inference
- Implement proper logging for training progress and errors
- Use PyTorch's built-in debugging tools like autograd.detect_anomaly() when necessary
