Simplifies the diagnosis of endpoint performance and failure logs.

Usage examples

“I need to fine-tune a model on SageMaker. Where do I start?”: The agent will initiate the planning workflow, prompting you to define your use case and requirements before guiding you through model selection and dataset preparation.
“My SageMaker endpoint is returning errors. Can you help?”: The agent will route you to the endpoint diagnostics workflow to collect logs, check instance status, and analyze latency or failure metrics.
“How do I convert my CSV training data for SageMaker?”: The agent will guide you through the dataset transformation workflow, recommending the appropriate tools to convert your data into the required JSONL format.
“Which base model should I use for a text summarization task?”: The agent will trigger the model selection workflow to help you evaluate available models and resolve the correct Hub model ID for your specific requirements.

Documentation by AWS

AWS AI/ML Model Customization

Domain expertise for fine-tuning and deploying models on Amazon SageMaker. Covers the full model customization lifecycle from planning through production deployment.

Routing

Match the user's intent to the appropriate reference folder and load only that content.

User intent	Reference	When to use
Plan a model customization project, discover scope of work, resume or modify a plan	references/planning/	User's request relates to model customization or deployment (fine-tuning, training, building, customizing, reviewing data, deploying or standing up a model — including selecting or deploying an off-the-shelf or base model with no training — or getting advice on approach). Always co-activate with other intents to discover full scope. Load this reference FIRST when the request matches multiple rows in this table — read its plan templates before routing to a single-action reference.
Define the business problem, success criteria, or use case spec	references/use-case-specification/	User says "define my use case", "capture requirements", "what should I decide up front", or as default first step in any plan. Skip only if user explicitly declines.
Select or change a base model	references/model-selection/	User asks which model to use, mentions a model name or family, or wants to evaluate what's available. Always activate model-selection even for known model names because the exact Hub model ID must be resolved. Recommended: route to use-case-specification first to capture requirements — this produces better filtering results. Routing to use-case-specification first is not required if user provides a specific model name/ID or declines. If intent is ambiguous (fine-tune vs deploy as-is), model-selection MUST confirm which path before proceeding. Base model filtering for deployment MUST go through select-for-deployment.md and its scripts for any final recommendation.
Choose a fine-tuning technique (SFT, DPO, RLVR, RLAIF)	references/finetuning-technique/	User has decided to fine-tune and needs to choose a technique, or technique needs validation against the selected model's recipes. Requires a base model to be selected first.
Validate dataset quality and format	references/dataset-evaluation/	User says "is my dataset okay", "check my training data", "I have my own data", or before starting any fine-tuning job.
Transform or convert a dataset between formats	references/dataset-transformation/	User says "transform", "convert", "reformat", or dataset schema needs to change. Always use this rather than writing inline transformation code.
Generate fine-tuning code and start training	references/finetuning/	User says "start training", "fine-tune my model", "I'm ready to train", or plan reaches the finetuning step. Supports SFT, DPO, RLVR, RLAIF trainers.
Train a model with a SageMaker Training job	references/training-jobs/	Use when the goal is to fit or update model parameters and produce model artifacts or checkpoints. Covers recipes, JumpStart traditional ML, custom training scripts or containers, distributed training, and training-job diagnosis.
Process data with a SageMaker Processing job	references/processing-jobs/	Use when the goal is preprocessing, feature engineering, evaluation, transformation, or ETL without model training as the primary operation. Covers scripts, framework processors, Spark, custom containers, Athena, Redshift, and processing-job diagnosis.
Evaluate or benchmark a trained model	references/model-evaluation/	User says "evaluate my model", "run a benchmark", "test model performance", "compare models". Supports LLM-as-Judge and Custom Scorer.
Deploy, benchmark, or optimize a model on an endpoint or Bedrock	references/model-deployment/	User says "deploy my model", "create an endpoint", or "make it available" (plain deploy) — or, for the inference-optimization sub-workflows on SageMaker Real-Time Endpoints only, "benchmark my endpoint" / "compare benchmark runs" (benchmarking), or states a performance/cost/latency/throughput goal for a new deployment such as "find the cheapest instance" (recommendations). Handles Nova vs OSS deployment pathways.
Set up IAM roles, S3 buckets, SDK configuration	references/sdk-getting-started/	User says "set up", "getting started", "check my environment", "configure SDK", or as first step in any plan involving SageMaker training/evaluation/deployment.
Manage project directory and artifacts	references/directory-management/	Starting a new project, resuming existing one, or when PLAN.md needs to be associated with a project directory.
Set up, update, or delete a SageMaker Managed MLflow app	references/manage-mlflow/	User says "set up MLflow", "create MLflow app", "update my MLflow app", "delete my MLflow app", "I need an MLflow server", asks "what is SageMaker MLflow", or a workflow needs an MLflow backend and none is connected.
Diagnose a failing or unhealthy SageMaker endpoint	references/endpoint-diagnostics/	User reports endpoint errors, latency, inference failures, or a deployment that failed. "What's the status of my endpoint?", "Is my endpoint erroring?", "My endpoint failed — why?", "How many instances are running behind my endpoint?", "Is the latency my model or SageMaker?", "Show me the container logs for my endpoint." NOT for training-job issues, endpoint deletion, scaling changes, or new deployments.

Rules

Service boundary. This skill covers SageMaker, including deployment of a customized model to Bedrock. Bedrock-native work (invoking Bedrock's managed foundation models, Bedrock Agents, Knowledge Bases, Guardrails, AgentCore) is supported by AWS but has no validated workflow in this skill: let the user know and proceed with best-effort guidance using general AWS knowledge. If the user asks for a model on AWS without naming a service, compare SageMaker and Bedrock or ask one service-choice question. Do not select a service by default. The two services have different model catalogs, deployment paths, and pricing, and a default selection can send the user into an incorrect workflow.
Progressive disclosure. Load only the reference folder relevant to the current user intent. Do not load all references at once.
Best-effort help. If the user's request falls outside this skill's references, do not dead-end the conversation. Help them using general AWS knowledge and documentation, and inform the user that the guidance is not covered by this skill's validated workflows.
Usage attribution. Before running any AWS CLI command or packaged script, set export AWS_SDK_UA_APP_ID=AWSSkill-SageMaker.

Workflow Instruction

Follow the workflow shown below. Locate the dataset, check the file type, and resolve any issues with missing files or wrong file types. Determine the fine-tuning model and fine-tuning strategy. Run the appropriate validation based on the model family. Summarize the results: is the dataset ready for fine-tuning?

Prerequisites

The SDK environment has been verified (SDK version, region, execution role). If not done, load the sdk-getting-started reference first.

Workflow

Locate Dataset:
- The full path may be a local file path, or an S3 URI
- Resolve the full path to the dataset file, make sure read permissions are available, and help the user if the file is not found
Determine strategy and model:
- File formatting depends on the currently selected fine-tuning strategy and fine-tuning base model.
- If the strategy and model are already known from the conversation context (e.g., selected via the model-selection and finetuning-technique references), use them.
- If not available in context, load the model-selection and/or finetuning-technique references to determine them before proceeding.
- Exception: If the user is validating an evaluation dataset (not a training dataset), neither model nor technique is required — the format detector can validate eval format (query/response structure) independently. Do not block on model-selection or finetuning-technique for eval dataset validation.
Check File Formatting: Run the tool format_detector.py to make sure the file conforms to formatting requirements.
- Send the full path directly to the format_detector script as an argument
- Do not send the model and strategy as arguments
- Do not download data from S3
- Do not make local copies of data
- Required serialization is JSONL. All supported training and evaluation formats are JSON Lines (.jsonl) — one JSON object per line. The format_detector only validates JSONL input.
- If the file is not JSONL (e.g., .parquet, .csv, .tsv, Arrow), the format detector cannot validate it and the dataset is not ready as-is — even if its columns or schema happen to match the target. Do not hand-inspect the file and declare it valid. Treat a non-JSONL file as requiring transformation, and proceed to the transformation recommendation in Step 4. Matching column names (e.g., prompt/completion in a parquet) is not sufficient — the data must be serialized as JSONL.
Summarize Results: Tell the user if their data is ready
- Examine the output of format_detector and compare to the known strategy and model
- Important: training datasets and evaluation datasets have different format requirements.
  - Training datasets must match the fine-tuning strategy format per references/strategy_data_requirements.md
  - Evaluation datasets (for model evaluation) must match one of the SageMaker evaluation dataset formats.
  - Custom Scorer evaluation datasets have scorer-specific requirements. If the dataset is intended for Custom Scorer evaluation (Prime Math, Prime Code, or Custom Lambda), read references/custom-scorer-evaluation-dataset-formats.md and validate against the scorer-specific schema. The scorer type should be known from conversation context (determined in the model-evaluation reference).
- Report back to the user if their current dataset is valid for its intended purpose
- Warn the user if their dataset is valid, but for a different strategy or model
- Warn the user if their dataset is not valid for any strategy/model pair
- A dataset is only "ready" if it is both serialized as JSONL and matches the required schema for the strategy/model. A non-JSONL file (parquet, csv, etc.) is never ready as-is, regardless of its columns — recommend transformation.
- If the user plans to finetune a model with the evaluated dataset, it needs to be uploaded to an S3 bucket in the same region as the planned training job (usually the default region). Warn the user if this is NOT the case.
- If the dataset is NOT in the necessary format (wrong serialization or wrong schema), recommend transforming it using the dataset-transformation reference, wait for user confirmation, and update the plan based on their response
