Decide whether to fine-tune at all, and route to the right method (SFT, DPO/ORPO/KTO, GRPO/RLVR, continued pretraining) and base model. Use when starting any fine-tuning effort, when unsure whether RAG or prompting would suffice, or when choosing between preference-optimization and reinforcement methods.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'finetuning-method-selection' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'finetuning-method-selection' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named finetuning-method-selection already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/wshobson/agents' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '9c61ab243def98f72da12abd41cfcf5bcd91af9d' -- 'plugins/llm-finetuning/skills/finetuning-method-selection' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/llm-finetuning/skills/finetuning-method-selection' ~/.agents/skills/'finetuning-method-selection' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'finetuning-method-selection' ~/.claude/skills/'finetuning-method-selection' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
