model-selection
Skill from awslabs/agent-plugins
Install
npx skills add awslabs/agent-plugins --skill model-selection
Runs the open skills CLI and installs the skill for your agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor …). Alternatively copy the skill folder into .claude/skills/ or upload it in Claude.ai under Settings → Skills.
As a Claude Code plugin
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-official
/plugin install sagemaker-ai@agent-plugins-for-aws
This skill is part of the plugin “sagemaker-ai”. In Claude Code the plugin installs it together with the plugin’s other skills, commands and hooks.

Questions about model-selection
What does the model-selection skill do?
Selects a base model for the user's use case by querying SageMaker Hub. Use when the user asks which model to use, wants to select or change their base model, mentions a model name or family (e.g., "Llama", "Mistral", "Nova"), or wants to evaluate a base model — always activate even for known model names because the exact Hub model ID must be resolved. Queries available models, presents benchmarks and licenses, and confirms selection.
How do I install model-selection?
In a terminal: npx skills add awslabs/agent-plugins --skill model-selection. The skills CLI asks which agents to install it for. In Claude.ai you can upload the skill folder as a ZIP under Settings → Skills.
Which agents can use model-selection?
Skills use the open SKILL.md format, which Claude Code, Claude.ai, the Claude API, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and other agents support.
Is model-selection safe to use?
Our automatic check found no risky patterns (piped shell scripts, hidden characters, secret access, prompt overrides). It is not a full audit – read the SKILL.md and any scripts before installing.

Generate comprehensive issue reports from HyperPod clusters (EKS and Slurm) by collecting diagnostic logs and configurations for troubleshooting and AWS Support cases. Use when users need to collect diagnostics from HyperPod cluster nodes, generate issue reports for AWS Support, investigate node failures or performance problems, document cluster state, or create diagnostic snapshots. Triggers on requests involving issue reports, diagnostic collection, support case preparation, or cluster troubleshooting that requires gathering logs and system information from multiple nodes.
Diagnose performance issues on Amazon SageMaker HyperPod clusters — uneven NCCL bandwidth across nodes and poor filesystem throughput. Read-only. Surfaces host-side signals (Xid, ECC, NVLink, EFA reachability, FSx saturation) and routes to the appropriate sibling skill (hyperpod-node-debugger, hyperpod-nccl, hyperpod-version-checker, hyperpod-issue-report) for any remediation. Triggers on uneven NCCL across nodes, straggler node, FSx slow, checkpoint slow, dataloader slow, filesystem bottleneck, FSx throughput, cross-AZ latency, topology mismatch.
Diagnose and remediate per-node issues on a HyperPod cluster (EKS or Slurm) — a specific node is unhealthy, unresponsive, stuck, or needs replacing. Covers on-node EFA, GPU / accelerator hardware (XID, ECC, NVLink, row-remap, DCGM), Slurm node down/drained, disk and memory pressure, per-node lifecycle-script failures, SSM agent, container runtime, kernel panics, pod networking. Read-only. Not for cluster-wide provisioning (→ hyperpod-cluster-debugger), NCCL (→ hyperpod-nccl), or MFU (→ hyperpod-mfu-debugger).
Diagnose NCCL failures and adjacent training-pod failures on HyperPod GPU clusters (EKS or Slurm) — training hangs, AllReduce / collective-op timeouts, EFA or libfabric errors, rendezvous failures, EFA TCP fallback, /dev/shm or memlock issues, NCCL version mismatch across pods, container OOM / exit-137 / OOMKilled, GPU OOM (CUDA out of memory), CrashLoopBackOff / Pending pods, MASTER_ADDR DNS, NetworkPolicy blocking. Not for single-node hardware faults (→ hyperpod-node-debugger § G) or cluster-creation EFA / SSM failures (→ hyperpod-cluster-debugger § A / § F).
Generates code that fine-tunes a base model using SageMaker serverless training jobs. Use when the user says "start training", "fine-tune my model", "I'm ready to train", or when the plan reaches the finetuning step. Supports SFT, DPO, RLVR, and RLAIF trainers, including RLVR Lambda reward function and RLAIF custom prompt creation.
Selects a fine-tuning technique (SFT, DPO, RLVR, or RLAIF) for the user's use case and validates it against the selected model's available recipes. Use when the user has decided to finetune and needs to choose a technique, or when the technique needs to be validated against a model. Requires a base model to already be selected (via model-selection skill).
Diagnostic-only skill for Slurm scheduler and node-daemon issues on Amazon SageMaker HyperPod Slurm clusters. Scope mirrors the HyperPod troubleshooting guide. Invoke when the user reports a Slurm node stuck in down/drain, "Node unexpectedly rebooted" after auto-repair, slurmd not running, jobs stuck PENDING with REASON=Resources while sinfo shows idle nodes, jobs stuck COMPLETING after node replacement, GRES/GPU counts wrong, scontrol ping failing, slurmctld unresponsive, an Action:Reboot/Replace request that did not trigger HyperPod auto-recovery, or auto-resume not restarting a job. Also triggers on "drain before reboot", "diagnose a Slurm node", "investigate stuck jobs."
Diagnose and remediate cluster-wide HyperPod (EKS or Slurm) problems — creation / deployment failures (CloudFormation, EFA health check, lifecycle scripts, capacity), EKS access, node replacement, CloudFormation nested-stack errors, post-maintenance rollback state, dangling nodes, autoscaler conflicts. Includes `--validate` pre-flight. Read-only.
