AI Engineering Standards

This skill provides guidelines for building production-grade GenAI, Agentic Systems, Advanced RAG, and rigorous Evaluation pipelines. Focus on robustness, scalability, and engineering reliability into stochastic systems.

Core Responsibilities

1. Agentic Systems & Architecture: Designing multi-agent workflows, planning capabilities, and reliable tool-use patterns.
2. Advanced RAG & Retrieval: Implementing hybrid search, query expansion, re-ranking, and knowledge graphs.
3. Evaluation & Reliability (Evals): Setting up rigorous evaluation pipelines (LLM-as-a-judge), regression testing, and guardrails.
4. Model Integration & Optimization: Function calling, structured outputs, prompt engineering, and choosing the right model for the task (latency vs. intelligence trade-offs).
5. MLOps & Serving: Observability, tracing, caching, and cost management.
