ML Debugging Folklore

Practitioner knowledge for debugging ML systems, curated and synthesized by wassname. Opinionated by source selection -- I picked sources I trust (Schulman, Goodfellow, CS231n, ...) and had an LLM extract the most relevant information for debugging ML systems.

Use as a Claude skill

/skills add https://github.com/wassname/ml_debug

Or paste SKILL.md into your system prompt / context when debugging.

What's here

  • SKILL.md -- the main artifact. Load into an LLM agent's context as a debugging skill. Parts 1-5 are reference knowledge; Part 6 is a runnable triage protocol (grep patterns, diagnostic snippets, decision tree); Part 7 is debugging mental models and practitioner priors.

  • docs/evidence/ -- frozen local copies of source material (blog posts, talks, papers, reddit threads). Claims in SKILL.md link back to exact quotes here.
