classical-ml-pitfalls

classical-ml-pitfalls is a Model training & evaluation skill for AI agents, published by pvillega in the claude-templates repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates classical-ml-pitfalls D (59/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Deep classical-ML operational intuition — leakage taxonomy and Pipeline prevention, CV under non-IID rows, eval under imbalance (PR-AUC, MCC, threshold tuning), calibration, categorical encoding, boosted-tree footguns. Load when diagnosing too-good-to-be-true CV, non-IID CV design, calibration, threshold tuning, or boosted-tree config. Skip for deep-learning training (use `dl-training`), LLM eval, or forecasting (use `time-series-ml`). Triggers on: "target leakage", "group leakage", "GroupKFold", "StratifiedGroupKFold", "nested CV", "PR-AUC", "MCC", "threshold tuning", "Platt scaling", "CalibratedClassifierCV", "TargetEncoder", "ordered target statistics", "monotone_constraints", "TreeSHAP".
