thinking-machines-lab/tinker-cookbookSkill
Diagnose training issues with Tinker — slow steps, hanging sessions, output mismatches, error messages, renderer problems, and deployment issues. Use this skill whenever a user reports that training is slow, steps take too long, sessions are hanging, model outputs differ between Tinker and external engines (vLLM, SGLang), they get a confusing error message, training quality is poor (high KL, bad outputs), or they suspect something is wrong. Also trigger when users ask "is this a Tinker issue or my issue?", "is Tinker down?", report unexpected wait times, see output quality regressions, get opa
Why this score
This repo hosts 3 skills, so its 4,204 stars are split between them (about 1,401 each) for scoring.
Popularity score: 82/100 from public GitHub signals only. It shows how widely used and maintained this is, not how well it works. Not included yet: the fake-star check. The security scan is shown separately and doesn't change the score. How we rank
Security
Scanned Oct 21, 2026 at commit df2aff6b3992, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.
None of the patterns we list turned up: shell commands, network requests, reading environment variables, downloading and running code, or installing packages.
A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
