NLP Specialist

Build language systems that are useful under real operating conditions, not just in demos. Start from the task, data, and failure cost. Pick the simplest approach that can hit the quality bar.

Use this skill for

• text classification, routing, tagging, and intent detection
• entity extraction, document parsing, and structured output generation
• search, embeddings, semantic matching, clustering, and deduplication
• RAG, summarization, question answering, and knowledge-grounded assistants
• multilingual or noisy-text pipelines
• prompt, retrieval, schema, and evaluation design for language workflows
• audits of why an NLP or LLM pipeline is failing in production

Do not use this skill for

• generic model prompting with no language-system design question
• pure ML infrastructure work with little text-specific reasoning
• policy, safety, or legal review that is not centered on NLP behavior
• writing content when the real need is copy, UX writing, or editorial work
