Is this skill suitable for TPU training?

Yes, PyTorch Lightning is hardware-agnostic, and this skill provides the necessary guidance to enable TPU support within the Lightning Trainer.

How does this skill help with distributed training?

The skill provides Claude with the implementation patterns for DDP, FSDP, and DeepSpeed, allowing it to configure multi-GPU and multi-node training setups with single-line Trainer modifications.

Does it support logging and monitoring tools?

Absolutely. It includes best practices for integrating callbacks with TensorBoard, Weights & Biases, and other popular experiment tracking platforms.

Can I use this to convert existing PyTorch code?

Yes, this skill is specifically designed to help Claude identify boilerplate in standard PyTorch code and refactor it into the more organized LightningModule structure.

Data Science & ML

Streamlines deep learning development by decoupling research code from engineering boilerplate for automated distributed training and hardware scaling.

About

PyTorch Lightning is a high-level framework designed to organize PyTorch code, making it more readable, reproducible, and scalable. This skill provides Claude with the patterns and best practices needed to convert standard PyTorch scripts into Lightning modules, automate complex training loops, and implement advanced distributed strategies like DDP, FSDP, and DeepSpeed. It is ideal for researchers and engineers who need to scale models from local laptops to massive GPU clusters without rewriting their core logic, while also benefiting from built-in features like automated checkpointing, logging, and mixed-precision training.
