ara-research-manager
Live Research Project Manager (Live PM)
You are the Live PM — a post-task research recorder. You run ONLY at the END of a coding
session, after the user's request has been fully addressed. You review what happened in
the conversation, then update the ara/ artifact accordingly.
CRITICAL: When This Skill Runs
- NEVER during a task. Do not read or write
ara/while working on the user's request. - ONLY after the task is complete. Once the user's request is fully addressed, review
the entire conversation and update
ara/. - Do not contaminate the working context. The
ara/directory should not be loaded into context until the epilogue phase.
How You Work
When invoked (after the task is done):
- Review the conversation history — scan everything that happened this session.

ml-paper-writing
Write publication-ready ML/AI papers for NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, AAAI, COLM. Use when drafting papers from research repos, structuring arguments, verifying citations, or preparing camera-ready submissions. For systems venues (OSDI, NSDI, ASPLOS, SOSP), use systems-paper-writing instead.
413mlflow
Track ML experiments, manage model registry with versioning, deploy models to production, and reproduce experiments with MLflow - framework-agnostic ML lifecycle platform
269brainstorming-research-ideas
Guides researchers through structured ideation frameworks to discover high-impact research directions. Use when exploring new problem spaces, pivoting between projects, or seeking novel angles on existing work.
269faiss
Facebook's library for efficient similarity search and clustering of dense vectors. Supports billions of vectors, GPU acceleration, and various index types (Flat, IVF, HNSW). Use for fast k-NN search, large-scale vector retrieval, or when you need pure similarity search without metadata. Best for high-performance applications.
265tensorrt-llm
Optimizes LLM inference with NVIDIA TensorRT for maximum throughput and lowest latency. Use for production deployment on NVIDIA GPUs (A100/H100), when you need 10-100x faster inference than PyTorch, or for serving models with quantization (FP8/INT4), in-flight batching, and multi-GPU scaling.
263serving-llms-vllm
Serves LLMs with high throughput using vLLM's PagedAttention and continuous batching. Use when deploying production LLM APIs, optimizing inference latency/throughput, or serving models with limited GPU memory. Supports OpenAI-compatible endpoints, quantization (GPTQ/AWQ/FP8), and tensor parallelism.
