What it does

Kiln Model Sweep is an agent skill from Kiln-AI/Kiln. The scheduled model sweep. Reads the team's models channel for hints, discovers new LLM models, adds them to mlmodellist.py, runs the paid tests, marks dead provider entries deprecated, opens PRs under the team's rules, announces them in Slack, and checks whether remoteconfig needs a publish PR. Use when asked to run the model sweep by hand, to add or deprecate models unattended, or to change how the daily sweep behaves.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Machine learning. It works with Slack. 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

  • Asked to run the model sweep by hand
  • Deprecate models unattended
  • Change how the daily sweep behaves

Example prompts

  • “/kiln-model-sweep”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Docker
  • A credential in FIREWORKS_API_KEY
  • A credential in ANTHROPIC_API_KEY

Workflow steps

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

  1. .agents/skills/claude-maintain-models/SKILL.md, including its Phase 1 discovery for models released in the last 14 days and its Phase 1B…
  2. .agents/skills/kiln-check-deprecation/SKILL.md.
  3. .agents/skills/open-pr/SKILL.md for every PR.

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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • uv
    • git
    • npm
    • gh
    • python3

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, git, npm and gh, 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:

    • FIREWORKS_API_KEY
    • ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
    • KILN_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Kiln Model Sweep loads about 3.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 111 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,097 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~111
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.6k

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.

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); files beside SKILL.md 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 2,097 words (~3,567 tokens).

“The prompt a scheduled cloud routine runs each weekday morning. It is a thin wrapper: the procedure lives in claude-maintain-models, kiln-check-deprecation and open-pr; this file pre-answers their gates so a run finishes with nobody watching. The design, the reasons behind…”
