Individual skill
finetuning-method-selection
Decide whether to fine-tune at all, and route to the right method (SFT, DPO/ORPO/KTO, GRPO/RLVR, continued pretraining) and base model. Use when starting any fine-tuning effort, when unsure whether RAG or prompting would suffice, or when choosing between preference-optimization and reinforcement methods.

This is the router skill for the fine-tuning
lifecycle: it decides whether fine-tuning is the
right tool at all, and if so, which method and
which base-model size class. Every other skill
in this plugin assumes this routing already
happened — start here before opening
`lora-qlora-recipes`, `preference-optimization`,
or `grpo-rlvr-training`.
## When to Use This Skill
