# Spinning Up in Deep RL

**Author**: Joshua Achiam (OpenAI) | **Source**: spinningup.readthedocs.io, MIT | **Chapters**: 20 | **Generated**: 2026-08-25

## How to Use This Skill

- **No argument** — load the core frameworks below
- **A topic** — ask about `advantage function`, `target networks`, `entropy regularization`;
  I resolve it through the Topic Index and read that chapter file
- **`chNN`** — I load that chapter's summary
- **"what chapters do you have?"** — the full index

```
/cs-spinning-up-deep-rl                      # core frameworks + chapter index
