The front-door decision skill for "I have problem X — what should I build with?" It owns the choice — which approach fits, when to promote complexity (and when not to), how to transfer knowledge, how to scale — then hands off to the deep skill that owns the depth. It spans the whole modeling space in one place so you can compare options that normally live in separate skills side by side:
tabular GBDT · deep net · Transformer/LLM · RAG · fine-tuning · agents
multimodal/omni · embeddings & retrieval · recsys/ranking · model architecture (dense/MoE/SSM/diffusion)
No theory dumps — decision tables, elimination logic, tradeoffs, and a pointer to the deep skill.
The architect's move is to ask before answering. The amateur hears "build an AI feature" and reaches for the model they know ("we'll fine-tune Kimi"). The architect first asks: what data type? what volume? what task? what's the success metric? do you even need a Transformer? The skill that distinguishes an architect is the willingness to say "for this, CatBoost wins," "here you need a Transformer," or "LoRA is enough here" — and to refuse to name an approach until the problem is classified. Never jump to a model before the Intake questions below are answered.

A request like "let's fine-tune model X" is a proposed solution, not a problem statement. Do not accept it at face value. Surface the six questions that decide the architecture, and hold any model name until they're answered. If the user can't answer one, that gap is itself a finding (most often: no success metric, or no labeled data).
| Ask | Why it changes the answer |
|---|---|
| What's the task? classify / rank / generate / extract / retrieve / act | Picks the lane before anything else — tabular-classify and open-ended-generate share no architecture |
| What's the data? type (tabular/text/image/audio), volume, labeled? private? fresh? | Tabular+small → trees; private/fresh knowledge → RAG not fine-tune; no labels → no SFT |
| What's the success metric & bar? accuracy / latency / cost-per-outcome / interpretability | "Make it work" can't be scored; the binding constraint eliminates most options |
| What are the constraints? p99 latency, $/query at volume, on-prem/cloud, no-hallucination | A <50ms or AWS-only or no-hallucination constraint forces the design more than the task does |
| Is there a regulatory/compliance driver? high-risk classification (EU AI Act), data residency, right-to-explanation, audit trail | Can force an inherently-interpretable model (trees, not a black-box net), ban sending data to a third-party API, or mandate human-in-the-loop — overriding an accuracy-only ranking |
| Do you even need an LLM/Transformer? | The cheapest thing that clears the bar wins — often a tree, a regex, or a single API call beats a fine-tune |
Breaking ties among survivors: hard constraints (a p99 ceiling, an on-prem requirement, a regulatory bar) are gates — fail one and the option is out, no matter how it scores elsewhere. Only among options that clear every gate do the soft criteria (cost, developer familiarity, marginal accuracy) act as tie-breakers. Don't let a soft criterion overrule a failed hard constraint, and don't eliminate an option on a soft criterion before checking whether a rival actually clears every gate.

# AI Architecture Advisor
The **front-door decision skill** for "I have problem X — what should I build with?" It owns
the **choice** — which approach fits, when to promote complexity (and when *not* to), how to
transfer knowledge, how to scale — then **hands off** to the deep skill that owns the depth. It
spans the whole modeling space in one place so you can compare options that normally live in
separate skills side by side:
```text
tabular GBDT · deep net · Transformer/LLM · RAG · fine-tuning · agents
multimodal/omni · embeddings & retrieval · recsys/ranking · model architecture (dense/MoE/SSM/diffusion)
```
No theory dumps — decision tables, elimination logic, tradeoffs, and a pointer to the deep skill.
**The architect's move is to ask before answering.** The amateur hears "build an AI feature"
and reaches for the model they know ("we'll fine-tune Kimi"). The architect first asks: *what
data type? what volume? what task? what's the success metric? do you even need a Transformer?*
The skill that distinguishes an architect is the willingness to say **"for this, CatBoost wins,"**
**"here you need a Transformer,"** or **"LoRA is enough here"** — and to refuse to name an
approach until the problem is classified. Never jump to a model before the Intake questions
below are answered.

## Intake: Ask Before You Answer
A request like "let's fine-tune model X" is a *proposed solution*, not a problem statement.
Do not accept it at face value. Surface the six questions that decide the architecture, and
hold any model name until they're answered. If the user can't answer one, that gap is itself a
finding (most often: no success metric, or no labeled data).
| Ask | Why it changes the answer |
|---|---|
| **What's the task?** classify / rank / generate / extract / retrieve / act | Picks the lane before anything else — tabular-classify and open-ended-generate share no architecture |
| **What's the data?** type (tabular/text/image/audio), volume, labeled? private? fresh? | Tabular+small → trees; private/fresh knowledge → RAG not fine-tune; no labels → no SFT |
| **What's the success metric & bar?** accuracy / latency / cost-per-outcome / interpretability | "Make it work" can't be scored; the binding constraint eliminates most options |
| **What are the constraints?** p99 latency, $/query at volume, on-prem/cloud, no-hallucination | A <50ms or AWS-only or no-hallucination constraint forces the design more than the task does |
| **Is there a regulatory/compliance driver?** high-risk classification (EU AI Act), data residency, right-to-explanation, audit trail | Can force an inherently-interpretable model (trees, not a black-box net), ban sending data to a third-party API, or mandate human-in-the-loop — overriding an accuracy-only ranking |
| **Do you even need an LLM/Transformer?** | The cheapest thing that clears the bar wins — often a tree, a regex, or a single API call beats a fine-tune |
**Breaking ties among survivors:** hard constraints (a p99 ceiling, an on-prem requirement, a
regulatory bar) are *gates* — fail one and the option is out, no matter how it scores elsewhere.
Only among options that clear every gate do the soft criteria (cost, developer familiarity,
marginal accuracy) act as tie-breakers. Don't let a soft criterion overrule a failed hard
constraint, and don't eliminate an option on a soft criterion before checking whether a rival
actually clears every gate.

## When to Use This Skill
Activate when the user asks (in any language) some form of:
- "What architecture should I use for X?" / "Как выбрать архитектуру?"
- "When should I use CatBoost / Transformer / RAG / fine-tuning / an agent?"
- "Trees or neural net for this tabular problem?"
- "Do I need RAG, or is fine-tuning better?"
- "Should this be one LLM call or a multi-agent system?"
- "Omni model or a specialist pipeline for my images/audio?"
- "Which embedding model / do I need a reranker?"
- "Is this a search problem or a recommendation problem?"
- "Dense or MoE / should I care about Mamba / diffusion LLMs?" (model-architecture axis)
- "How do I find and evaluate newer architectures than what I know?"
- "How do I transfer knowledge to a new task?" (transfer learning / distillation / RAG)
- "How do I scale this model?" (data, params, test-time compute, serving, or distributed training)
- Any side-by-side comparison of modeling approaches before committing to a build.
If the user has **already** chosen the approach and wants to build it, skip this skill and
go straight to the deep skill.
## Scope Boundaries (Use These Skills for Depth)
This skill decides; these implement. Hand off once the approach is chosen. Primary skill per
lane below — the **[full AI skill map](references/ai-skill-map.md)** catalogs all 36 `ai-*`
skills (supporting + adjacent) grouped by lane, with one-line "owns what" descriptions.
- **Classical ML / data** → [ai-ml-data-science](../ai-ml-data-science/SKILL.md) (GBDT, EDA, train a specialist), [ai-ml-timeseries](../ai-ml-timeseries/SKILL.md)
- **LLM lifecycle & prompting** → [ai-llm](../ai-llm/SKILL.md) (fine-tune, migrate, select), [ai-prompt-engineering](../ai-prompt-engineering/SKILL.md), [ai-post-training](../ai-post-training/SKILL.md) (RLHF/DPO/GRPO/RLVR)
- **Retrieval & context** → [ai-rag](../ai-rag/SKILL.md), `ai-context-layer`, [ai-vector-brain](../ai-vector-brain/SKILL.md)
- **Agents & applied bots** → [ai-agents](../ai-agents/SKILL.md), `ai-bot-builder`, [ai-voice-bots](../ai-voice-bots/SKILL.md), [ai-coding-agents](../ai-coding-agents/SKILL.md)
- **Pre-training** → [ai-pretraining](../ai-pretraining/SKILL.md), [ai-distributed-training](../ai-distributed-training/SKILL.md), [ai-scaling-laws](../ai-scaling-laws/SKILL.md), [ai-data-curation-pretraining](../ai-data-curation-pretraining/SKILL.md)
- **Serving, evals & ops** → [ai-llm-inference](../ai-llm-inference/SKILL.md), [ai-local-model-ops](../ai-local-model-ops/SKILL.md), [ai-evals](../ai-evals/SKILL.md), [ai-deep-research](../ai-deep-research/SKILL.md), [ai-mlops](../ai-mlops/SKILL.md), [ai-product-operating-model](../ai-product-operating-model/SKILL.md)

- **Beyond the AI family** → [foundations-decision-theory](../foundations-decision-theory/SKILL.md) (choice under uncertainty), [software-architecture-design](../software-architecture-design/SKILL.md) (system/runtime topology)
## Default Workflow
1. **Classify the problem.** What is the output and the data?
- Structured/tabular rows -> classical ML lane.
- Natural-language understanding or generation -> LLM lane.
- Retrieve-then-answer over a corpus -> RAG lane.
- Multi-step actions / tool use -> agent lane.
- Images/audio/raw signals -> deep-learning lane.
2. **Eliminate ineligible options with a reason.** Never silently drop a candidate. E.g.
"fine-tuning eliminated: the gap is missing knowledge, not behavior — RAG first."
3. **Score the survivors independently** on: accuracy ceiling, latency, cost-per-outcome,
data required, interpretability, and operational burden. Don't pre-commit before scoring.
4. **Pick the simplest option that clears the bar.** Start simple; promote complexity only
on evidence of a repeated, stable failure the simpler option can't fix.
5. **State the decision and hand off** to the deep skill, with the *reason* and the
*promotion trigger* ("revisit if X").

| Needs tools (via MCP), multi-step planning, or external actions |
| ai-agents |
| Omni model vs specialist pipeline | Omni/VLM to validate | Accuracy KPI, cost-at-volume, or no-hallucination needs → disaggregate to specialists | ai-prompt-engineering |
| Embedding / retrieval model | Strong general embedder + reranker | Domain/multilingual fit, latency, or late-interaction needs (note: swap = full re-index) | ai-rag |
| Search/rank vs recommend | — | Implicit feedback + <50ms + dynamic M-item catalog → it's recsys, not RAG | ai-ml-data-science |
| Sequence/perception net family | Transformer (text), ViT (vision) | Streaming/tiny-footprint → RNN/GRU; spatial images → CNN; text-to-text transform → encoder-decoder; encode-for-retrieval → encoder-only (BERT-class) | ai-ml-data-science |
| Model architecture (dense/MoE/SSM/diffusion) | Whatever the API serves | Only when self-hosting/training: MoE (cost), SSM/hybrid (>100k-tok throughput), diffusion-LM (tokens/sec); attention = GQA default, MLA/NSA for KV-cache/long-context | ai-llm-inference |
| Train from scratch vs adapt | Adapt (prompt/RAG/fine-tune) | Research goal is the pre-training, or no suitable base model | ai-pretraining |
