What are the prerequisites for using this skill?

You need Python 3.8+, the nixtla and pandas packages installed, and a valid NIXTLA_API_KEY configured in your environment variables.

How much data is required for TimeGPT fine-tuning?

For effective fine-tuning, Nixtla typically requires at least 100 observations per time series to ensure the model can capture domain-specific patterns.

How do I trigger the fine-tuning workflow?

You can activate the skill by telling Claude to 'fine-tune TimeGPT' or 'train a custom model' within your project directory.

Can I compare my fine-tuned model against the default TimeGPT?

Yes, the skill includes a comparison step that evaluates metrics like SMAPE to show the exact improvement of your fine-tuned model over the zero-shot baseline.

Where does the skill store training artifacts?

Configuration files are saved in the 'forecasting/' directory, while model IDs and performance metrics are stored in the 'artifacts/' and 'results/' subdirectories respectively.
