## What it does

This skill gives the agent a reference for Unsloth, the library for fast LLM fine-tuning. Ask it to write a training script or debug a crash, and it pulls the relevant docs instead of guessing from memory.

The package is a `SKILL.md` file plus a `references/` folder with documentation scraped from official sources. There is a quick reference section with code examples and a table of contents for navigation. The agent opens a specific file when it needs detail.

The skill itself has no runtime dependencies, but the code it helps you write needs `unsloth`, `torch`, `transformers`, `trl`, `datasets` and `peft`. Without those, the examples will not run. One caveat: the docs were generated automatically, so they can lag behind a fresh library release. Worth checking the API against the official docs before you commit to a config.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Orchestra-Research/AI-Research-SKILLs --skill unsloth -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Orchestra-Research/AI-Research-SKILLs --skill unsloth -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Orchestra-Research/AI-Research-SKILLs --skill unsloth -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install Orchestra-Research/AI-Research-SKILLs unsloth
```

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

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Orchestra-Research/AI-Research-SKILLs --skill unsloth -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/Orchestra-Research/AI-Research-SKILLs --path 03-fine-tuning/unsloth
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Orchestra-Research/AI-Research-SKILLs --skill unsloth -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/Orchestra-Research/AI-Research-SKILLs/tree/HEAD/03-fine-tuning/unsloth/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- write a LoRA fine-tuning script for a base model
- figure out why training runs out of GPU memory
- switch an existing training loop to QLoRA
- find a working config for Llama or Qwen
- fix an error in Unsloth training code

## Example prompts
- write a fine-tuning script for Qwen with Unsloth on my dataset
- convert this training code to QLoRA so it fits on one GPU
- why does my Unsloth run keep hitting OOM?
