Overview
MLflow is an open-source platform for managing complete ML lifecycle, including experiment tracking, model packaging, model registry, and deployment. It enables data science teams to collaborate and deploy models reproducibly.
Why This Matters
- Reproducibility: Track experiments and reproduce results
- Collaboration: Share experiments and models across teams
- Deployment: Package and deploy models consistently
- Governance: Model versioning and approval workflow
Core Concepts & Rules
1. Core Principles
- Follow established patterns and conventions
- Maintain consistency across codebase
- Document decisions and trade-offs
2. Implementation Guidelines
- Start with the simplest viable solution
- Iterate based on feedback and requirements
- Test thoroughly before deployment
Inputs / Outputs / Contracts
- Inputs:
- Model training parameters
- Performance metrics
- Model artifacts
- Deployment configurations
- Entry Conditions:
- MLflow tracking server running
- Model training pipeline operational
- Model registry configured
- Outputs:
- Tracked experiments
- Registered model versions

- Success Criteria:
- Experiment tracking success rate > 95%
- Model registration success rate > 95%
- Deployment success rate > 90%
- Model retrieval time < 5 seconds
Skill Composition

Technical Guardrails & Security Threat Model
1. Security & Privacy (Threat Model)
- Top Threats: Injection attacks, authentication bypass, data exposure
2. Performance & Resources
3. Architecture & Scalability
4. Observability & Reliability
Agent Directives & Error Recovery
(ข้อกำหนดสำหรับ AI Agent ในการคิดและแก้ปัญหาเมื่อเกิดข้อผิดพลาด)
- Thinking Process: Analyze root cause before fixing. Do not brute-force.
- Fallback Strategy: Stop after 3 failed test attempts. Output root cause and ask for human intervention/clarification.
- Self-Review: Check against Guardrails & Anti-patterns before finalizing.
- Output Constraints: Output ONLY the modified code block. Do not explain unless asked.
Definition of Done (DoD) Checklist
Anti-patterns / Pitfalls
- ⛔ Don't: Log PII, catch-all exception, N+1 queries
- ⚠️ Watch out for: Common symptoms and quick fixes
- 💡 Instead: Use proper error handling, pagination, and logging
Reference Links & Examples
- Internal documentation and examples
- Official documentation and best practices
- Community resources and discussions
