What models does it recommend?

It provides data-driven recommendations for popular models like Qwen for Chinese tasks, DeepSeek for reasoning, Llama-3 for ecosystem support, and Phi-4 for lightweight deployment.

Can it help if I have very little training data?

Yes, it includes a decision tree for small datasets, suggesting few-shot prompting for under 100 samples or specific LoRA configurations for datasets between 100 and 500 samples.

Does this skill perform the actual training?

It acts as a guide and architect, helping you define the configuration, success criteria, and strategy, which you can then execute using the generated task.yaml.

When should I use the llm-coach skill?

Use it whenever you are planning to train, fine-tune, or build an NLP model and need guidance on the best approach, model selection, or success metrics.
