At a glance

Check Kiln's fine-tunable model list for deprecated or unsupported base models.

  • Works in 5 steps: Check Static Fine-Tune IDs → Check Fireworks Dynamic Models → Report Findings → …
  • The user wants to audit fine-tuning support
  • SKILL.md covers Global Rules, Supported Providers, Background and Phase 1 – Check Static…, plus 5 more sections
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls uv and gcloud; needs OPENAI_API_KEY and TOGETHER_API_KEY

What it does

Kiln Check Finetune Deprecation is an agent skill from Kiln-AI/Kiln. Check Kiln's fine-tunable model list for deprecated or unsupported base models. Use when the user wants to audit fine-tuning support, check if fine-tune base models are still valid, or mentions fine-tune model deprecation.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/check_finetune.py`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Fine-tuning. It works with OpenAI, Python, Google Cloud and Together AI. The repository describes itself as: Build, Evaluate, and Optimize AI Systems. Includes evals, RAG, agents, fine-tuning, synthetic data generation, dataset management, MCP, and more.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to audit fine-tuning support
  • Check if fine-tune base models are still valid
  • Mentions fine-tune model deprecation

Example prompts

  • “/kiln-check-finetune-deprecation”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in OPENAI_API_KEY
  • A credential in TOGETHER_API_KEY

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Check Static Fine-Tune IDs
  2. Check Fireworks Dynamic Models
  3. Report Findings
  4. Remediation
  5. Verify

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8ac9075. 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:

    • uv
    • gcloud

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv and gcloud, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • OPENAI_API_KEY
    • TOGETHER_API_KEY
    • FIREWORKS_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Kiln Check Finetune Deprecation loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 753 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~64
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:15
    - **Env vars:** Source `.env` before running check scripts: `export $(grep -v '^#' .env | xargs)`
  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:159
    - [ ] Env vars sourced from `.env`

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 753 words (~1,928 tokens).

“Audit the fine-tunable models listed in Kiln to find base models that are no longer supported for fine-tuning by their providers. This is separate from general model deprecation — a model can still be available for inference but no longer…”
