SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill turns a trained notebook model into a deployable, self-describing artifact so teams can ship it without rebuilding preprocessing, guessing inputs, or discovering serving bugs late.

Core Features & Use Cases

Single fitted pipeline: Packages preprocessing and the model together to prevent training-serving skew.
Versioned deployment bundle: Produces a manifest, input schema, output schema, and saved artifact that can be reviewed and tracked.
Smoke-test gate: Requires disk-based golden tests so CI can verify the saved artifact before promotion.
Use cases: FastAPI inference endpoints, batch scoring jobs, cross-runtime serving with ONNX or TorchScript, and handoff to platform or SRE teams.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to package my trained model for deployment and include a versioned artifact, input and output schemas, a manifest, and a smoke test that runs from disk.

FAQPage Schema

How do I package a trained machine learning model for deployment with FastAPI?▼

To package a trained machine learning model, bundle the fitted preprocessing pipeline and model into a saved artifact, then generate input and output schemas, a versioned manifest, and disk-based smoke tests for FastAPI serving.

What is a model deployment artifact and why do I need schemas and a manifest?▼

A model deployment artifact is a self-describing bundle containing the saved model, input and output schemas, and a versioned manifest. It prevents training-serving skew and eliminates guessing inputs by making the bundle reviewable and trackable for serving environments.

Does this model packaging approach work for non-Python runtimes like ONNX or TorchScript?▼

Yes, the model packaging approach works for non-Python runtimes like ONNX or TorchScript. It packages trained tabular, text, and deep learning models into self-describing artifacts that can be handed off to platform or SRE teams for cross-runtime serving.

How do I run a smoke test on a saved joblib model artifact before promotion?▼

Run a smoke test on a saved joblib model artifact by executing disk-based golden tests that validate the saved bundle against expected inputs and outputs. This CI gate verifies the artifact before promotion to batch jobs or streaming services.

What's the best way to prevent training-serving skew when shipping models to batch jobs?▼

The best way to prevent training-serving skew when shipping models to batch jobs is to package preprocessing and the model together as a single fitted pipeline. This ensures the exact same data transformations are applied during both training and inference.
