What it does

Areno Add Algorithm is an agent skill from inclusionAI/AReno. Add or modify an AReno algorithm, trainer, loss, advantage calculation, role model, or algorithm-specific configuration. Use for framework-level SFT, DPO, GSPO, GRPO, PPO, or new optimization method development. Do not use merely to run an existing algorithm.

Its SKILL.md is about 500 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/ownership.md` and `scripts/inspect_algorithms.py`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Fine-tuning and Reinforcement learning. The repository describes itself as: An easy-to-use, fast toolkit to scale up RL post-training on a single node. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Framework-level SFT
  • New optimization method development

Example prompts

  • “/areno-add-algorithm”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Define whether the algorithm is offline, rollout policy-only, or multi-role. Read references/ownership.md.
  2. Specify input records, sequence construction, masks, role models, loss inputs, and metrics before coding.
  3. Add the narrowest config type and preserve public defaults/compatibility.
  4. Put batch/materialization logic in the trainer and tensor mathematics in areno/api/loss_fns/ or advantage helpers.
  5. Register one AlgorithmSpec; load experimental implementations through areno/experimental/ when appropriate.
  6. Add CPU tests for registration, config, masks, exact small-tensor math, and trainer dispatch.
  7. Run the new algorithm end to end for at least two consecutive successful training steps using a real model and representative data. Verify…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ce35e0d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Areno Add Algorithm loads about 501 tokens when it runs, and up to ~663 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 214 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~70
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~501
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~663

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

description
Add or modify an AReno algorithm, trainer, loss, advantage calculation, role model, or algorithm-specific configuration. Use for framework-level SFT, DPO, GSPO, GRPO, PPO, or new optimization method development. Do not use merely to run an existing algorithm.

Add an AReno Algorithm

Start from AlgorithmSpec and registration in areno/api/algorithms.py; do not add factory branches.

Develop on a dedicated local branch. Commit changes locally, then update the remote GPU checkout by fetching and pulling that branch; never patch source on the remote host. Use ModelScope for any model or dataset references used by the validation workload.

bash
python .agents/skills/areno-add-algorithm/scripts/inspect_algorithms.py

Workflow

  1. Define whether the algorithm is offline, rollout policy-only, or multi-role. Read references/ownership.md.
  2. Specify input records, sequence construction, masks, role models, loss inputs, and metrics before coding.
  3. Add the narrowest config type and preserve public defaults/compatibility.
  4. Put batch/materialization logic in the trainer and tensor mathematics in areno/api/loss_fns/ or advantage helpers.
  5. Register one AlgorithmSpec; load experimental implementations through areno/experimental/ when appropriate.
  6. Add CPU tests for registration, config, masks, exact small-tensor math, and trainer dispatch.
  7. Run the new algorithm end to end for at least two consecutive successful training steps using a real model and representative data. Verify finite losses, metrics, and gradients on both steps. For rollout algorithms, also verify bounded GPU rollout/train logprob consistency.

Completion requires registry discovery, deterministic mathematical tests, evidence from at least two successful end-to-end training steps, and role lifecycle checks where applicable. A one-step smoke train is useful for diagnosis but does not complete algorithm validation.

What does Areno Add Algorithm need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Areno Add Algorithm needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (python). Our summary lists: Python 3.

Does Areno Add Algorithm access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Areno Add Algorithm safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
