What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps you plan, debug, tune, evaluate, export, and deploy Nemotron retrieval recipes when you need better first-stage retrieval or better top-rank ordering in a Nemotron-based pipeline.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Embedding workflow guidance: Use it to decide when to work on embedder training for low Recall@k, missing relevant documents, or weak candidate generation.
- Reranker workflow guidance: Use it to choose reranker tuning when candidates are present but top results are poorly ordered and nDCG is low.
- Safe execution and debugging: Use it to validate prerequisites, avoid secret leakage, compare checkpoint, ONNX, TensorRT, and NIM results, and keep long-running jobs and remote runs under control.
- Use case: You have a Nemotron retrieval eval where Recall@100 is acceptable but nDCG@10 is poor, and this Skill helps you inspect the right stage, preserve the held-out split, and choose the correct next action.
Quick Start
Ask the assistant to analyze your Nemotron retrieval issue, identify whether embed or rerank is the right path, and give you the safest dry-run command plus the prerequisites to check before any expensive execution.
