unsloth

Points your assistant to Unsloth's documentation for faster, lower-memory fine-tuning with LoRA and QLoRA, which Unsloth puts at 2-5x faster with 50-80% less memory. The skill itself is a short index; the detail is Unsloth's own documentation, 136 pages copied into one reference file.

WHEN TO USE

SCOPE

USE FOR

Fine-tune a model with LoRA or QLoRA on a single GPU.

Local tool required

1 FOR THE AGENT

01
Install unsloth and its training stack
Install unsloth along with torch, transformers, trl, datasets, and peft, as declared in the skill's own dependency list, since Unsloth's fast LoRA/QLoRA fine-tuning runs on top of that stack.

This skill ships inside the AI Research Skills plugin.

Run this outside your AI tool, using Node.js 22.20.0 or newer. Skills CLI 1.7.2 skips skill selection; prompts cancel installation without an interactive terminal. If choosing Project when asked about installation scope, open your project's folder before running this.

Install checklist

Check selected tools if a picker appears; Claude Code may be unchecked under Additional agents. ↑/↓ moves, Space toggles selections, Enter confirms.
Without a tool picker, check Installing to: for your intended tool. Stop if it names a different tool.
If asked, choose Symlink (Recommended) for shared files or Copy to all agents for separate copies; review the summary before confirming installation.
Install the find-skills skill? defaults to Yes, adding another skill for all projects. Choose No if you don't want that extra installation.

Skills CLI 1.7.2 sends install data to skills.sh by default, including the source, skill names, target tools and file details; GitHub sources are reported only when GitHub confirms the repository is public, while other remote sources can also be reported. Confirmed-public GitHub sources also trigger a security-audit request. Before installing, set the environment variable DO_NOT_TRACK=1 or DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1 to disable both.

npx skills add orchestra-research/ai-research-skills --skill "unsloth" --full-depth

After installing for Claude Code, open it in the installation project if you chose Project; Global makes the skill available across projects on this computer. Once Claude Code loads the skill, its description helps Claude decide when to use it.

If installation created a top-level skills folder that did not exist when your Claude Code session started, run /reload-skills in that session. Run it again after later changes in that folder.
