# GRPO/RL Training with TRL

Expert-level guidance for implementing Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) using the Transformer Reinforcement Learning (TRL) library. This skill provides battle-tested patterns, critical insights, and production-ready workflows for fine-tuning language models with custom reward functions.

## When to Use This Skill

Use GRPO training when you need to:
- **Enforce specific output formats** (e.g., XML tags, JSON, structured reasoning)
- **Teach verifiable tasks** with objective correctness metrics (math, coding, fact-checking)
- **Improve reasoning capabilities** by rewarding chain-of-thought patterns
- **Align models to domain-specific behaviors** without labeled preference data
- **Optimize for multiple objectives** simultaneously (format + correctness + style)

**Do NOT use GRPO for:**
