Set Up ML Project
SkillDev toolsLets your agent coordinate setting up a new machine learning project, asking which parts to include before running them.
Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.
No other account needed.
Add ahel to your AI once: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or Codex. Then ask it to use this.
Then ask your AI: use the Set Up ML Project skill
About this skill
Coordinate first-time ML project setup. Trigger when the user asks to set up or bootstrap a complete ML workspace. Ask a multi-select of installed pieces (env, workspace, editable, git), all preselected; run only what stays checked.
What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by probabl-ai/skills in skills/setup-ml-project/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
Ordering only. Never run a skipped skill's steps from memory.
Human-facing prose
Details: setup-workspace references/human_facing_prose.md.
The multi-select uses data-science labels only (Python
environment, workspace layout, editable install, Git). Do not
put skill ids, G-* names, or the wrapper CLI in the question.
Pre-flight
Tick, then immediately run the matching sequence step. Do not stop after listing the boxes.
- [ ] status (read skills + has_src)
- [ ] ask which pieces (all installed boxes preselected)
- [ ] load selected | skip
- [ ] status again; load triage-ml-task only if
status.skills.triage-ml-task is true
Sequence
-
Run
python -m skore_skills status.status.skillsis a per-id dict, never a boolean. -
AskUserQuestion with
allow_multiple. Say first, in 2–4 lines, what the answer authorizes (which pieces run, in which order) and thestatusfacts each box rests on — detected manager,has_src, git presence. A file link is an addition, never the context. Include a box only when that id is true. Option labels (user-visible, no ids):- Python environment
- Workspace layout
- Editable install — show when
status.skills.add-python-packageis true and (has_srcis true or workspace is on this board) - Git
Map checked labels to
setup-python-env,setup-workspace,add-python-package,setup-gitwhen loading.Preselect every installed piece (all boxes on). Do not leave a box off because the layout already looks done. The user may uncheck.
-
Load still-checked skills only, in this order: env → workspace → editable (
has_src) → git. Load<id>only ifstatus.skills.<id>is true; else one-line skip. Do not invent that skill's steps. -
Unchecked or that id is false → one-line skip.
-
Editable checked,
has_srcfalse, and workspace not selected → one-line stop. Do not scaffold from this meta. -
statusagain. Loadtriage-ml-taskonly ifstatus.skills.triage-ml-taskis true; else stop. Do not start exploratory data analysis or a pipeline.
Stop conditions
- Do not pick package name or env manager here; the loaded skills ask those.
- Do not ask tabular library, skore mode, notebooks, or site.
- Do not install sklearn, skrub, or pandas. The selected
setup-python-envskill installs plainskoreduring bootstrap; do not install or configure Skore directly from this coordinator. - Do not write experiment or pipeline bodies.
- Do not commit except by loading
setup-git. - Do not abort setup because one skill is missing.
- Do not invent a missing skill's procedure.
- Do not
