# mlflow-agent

Reads an MLflow request and invokes the right sub-skill for you: tracing, evaluation, agent debugging or docs lookup. Useful when you don't want to memorize sub-skill names.

## What it does

This skill is a dispatcher. It reads the request and picks a sub-skill: instrumentation goes to `instrumenting-with-mlflow-tracing`, a failing agent to `debug-agent`, behaviour changes to `fix-agent-issue`, scoring to `agent-evaluation`. Then it invokes that skill through the Skill tool.

It never does the work itself — that rule is explicit. One clarifying question is allowed, then it hands off. Ask for evaluation and tracing together and tracing runs first. A debugging request for an already instrumented agent is not sent back to tracing setup.

The routing table covers trace debugging, chat session analysis, trace retrieval, metrics and costs, onboarding, and docs or API questions. The skill carries `disable-model-invocation: true`, so you call it yourself. Installing it alone gets you little: without the sub-skills from the same repository there is nowhere to route the task.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mlflow/skills --skill mlflow-agent -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mlflow/skills --skill mlflow-agent -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/mlflow-agent/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mlflow/skills --skill mlflow-agent -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/mlflow-agent/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install mlflow/skills mlflow-agent
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/mlflow-agent/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mlflow/skills --skill mlflow-agent -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/mlflow/skills --path mlflow-agent
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/mlflow-agent/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mlflow/skills --skill mlflow-agent -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/mlflow/skills/tree/HEAD/mlflow-agent/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- pick the right MLflow sub-skill for a given task
- start tracing an agent without digging through setup docs
- find out why an agent fails or answers badly
- pull metrics and cost numbers out of traces
- look up an MLflow API answer in the docs

## Example prompts
- add mlflow to my project
- evaluate my agent and show me the metrics
- figure out why my agent fails on this request

# MLflow Agent

Master dispatcher for MLflow workflows. Reads user intent and invokes the right sub-skill.

## Step 1: Identify the workflow

Use the user's request to choose the relevant skill. Ask at most one clarifying question
if the intent is unclear.

## Step 2: Dispatch

- Tracing / instrumentation → `instrumenting-with-mlflow-tracing`
- Debug or explain an agent failure → `debug-agent`
- Fix or change an agent's behavior → `fix-agent-issue`
- Evaluation / scoring → `agent-evaluation`
- Debug a trace → `analyze-mlflow-trace`
- Debug a chat session → `analyze-mlflow-chat-session`
- Search traces → `retrieving-mlflow-traces`
- Metrics / costs → `querying-mlflow-metrics`
- Getting started → `mlflow-onboarding`
- Docs / API questions → `searching-mlflow-docs`

Invoke the matched skill using the Skill tool.

## Key Rules

- Never do the work yourself — always dispatch to the appropriate sub-skill
- One clarifying question maximum before dispatching
- If the user says "evaluate AND trace", dispatch tracing first, then evaluation
- Do not route an already-instrumented debugging request back to tracing setup
- If the user's request spans multiple skills, handle them in logical order (setup → instrument → evaluate)
```
