BC nemo-automodel-distributed-training
Guide for selecting and configuring distributed training strategies in NeMo AutoModel, including FSDP2, Megatron FSDP, DDP, and parallelism settings. Use when adding or modifying distributed training strategies (FSDP2, HSDP, DDP), debugging multi-GPU or multi-node failures, configuring context or tensor parallelism, or tuning sharding settings.

As a process C 53/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, failures and branches, running it twice
How to improve
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Process rating: all ten parameters 53/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
- 30Running it twice. 5 mutating operations with no state check
- 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (python, node) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 70Execution cost. Instruction body is 4752 tokens
- 85Steps. 46 steps, 1 vague phrases
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
- low 16 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill
- medium 3 test cases, all positive: not one "should refuse" or "should ask first"
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
Quality signals
- +5Description has no quoted example phrases that should trigger the skill
- +4Description does not say when NOT to use the skill (false activations)
- +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
- +2Single-language instructions
- +3Description length 346: enough signal without eating the budget
- +4Structure: 43 headings
- +3Step-by-step instructions: 46 items
- +4Has examples (30 code blocks)
- +1License stated
Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 85.
