GitHub CLI
$ gh skill install parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 llm-tuning-patterns --agent claude-code

Project scope by default; add --scope user for a personal install. Needs GitHub CLI 2.90.0 or later (public preview).

About this skill

LLM Tuning Patterns is a skill in parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 (3.9k stars). Its SKILL.md is about 481 tokens, and copies of it appear in 1 other owners' repositories. Licence: MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d07ff4b. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

LLM Tuning Patterns loads about 481 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 10 tokens; SKILL.md has 180 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~10
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~481

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

LLM Tuning Patterns

Evidence-based patterns for configuring LLM parameters, based on APOLLO and Godel-Prover research.

Pattern

Different tasks require different LLM configurations. Use these evidence-based settings.

Theorem Proving / Formal Reasoning

Based on APOLLO parity analysis:

ParameterValueRationale
max_tokens4096Proofs need space for chain-of-thought
temperature0.6Higher creativity for tactic exploration
top_p0.95Allow diverse proof paths
Proof Plan Prompt

Always request a proof plan before tactics:

Given the theorem to prove:
[theorem statement]

First, write a high-level proof plan explaining your approach.
Then, suggest Lean 4 tactics to implement each step.

The proof plan (chain-of-thought) significantly improves tactic quality.

Parallel Sampling

For hard proofs, use parallel sampling:

  • Generate N=8-32 candidate proof attempts
  • Use best-of-N selection
  • Each sample at temperature 0.6-0.8

Code Generation

ParameterValueRationale
max_tokens2048Sufficient for most functions
temperature0.2-0.4Prefer deterministic output

Creative / Exploration Tasks

ParameterValueRationale
max_tokens4096Space for exploration
temperature0.8-1.0Maximum creativity

Anti-Patterns

  • Too low tokens for proofs: 512 tokens truncates chain-of-thought
  • Too low temperature for proofs: 0.2 misses creative tactic paths
  • No proof plan: Jumping to tactics without planning reduces success rate

Source Sessions

  • This session: APOLLO parity - increased max_tokens 512->4096, temp 0.2->0.6
  • This session: Added proof plan prompt for chain-of-thought before tactics

Questions about LLM Tuning Patterns

How do I install LLM Tuning Patterns in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 --skill llm-tuning-patterns -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/llm-tuning-patterns in parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3) into .claude/skills/llm-tuning-patterns in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install LLM Tuning Patterns in Codex?

Run `npx skills add parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 --skill llm-tuning-patterns -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/llm-tuning-patterns in parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3) into .agents/skills/llm-tuning-patterns in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use LLM Tuning Patterns in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 --skill llm-tuning-patterns -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/llm-tuning-patterns, .gemini/skills/llm-tuning-patterns, .github/skills/llm-tuning-patterns and .opencode/skills/llm-tuning-patterns in your project.

What does LLM Tuning Patterns need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: LLM Tuning Patterns is instructions for the agent only.

Does LLM Tuning Patterns 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 LLM Tuning Patterns 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. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does LLM Tuning Patterns use?

LLM Tuning Patterns is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does LLM Tuning Patterns use?

About 481 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
