Merge multiple fine-tuned models using mergekit to combine capabilities without retraining. Use when creating specialized models by blending domain-specific expertise (math + coding + chat), improving performance beyond single models, or experimenting rapidly with model variants. Covers SLERP, TIES-Merging, DARE, Task Arithmetic, linear merging, and production deployment strategies.

Excellent skill for model merging with comprehensive coverage of mergekit methods (SLERP, TIES, DARE, Task Arithmetic). The description clearly states when to use the skill, and SKILL.md provides extensive task knowledge including installation, configuration patterns, code examples, and best practices. Structure is clean with references to additional files for deeper details. The skill offers moderate-to-good novelty: while a CLI agent could theoretically invoke mergekit, understanding method selection, parameter tuning (density, weights, layer-wise merging), and troubleshooting merge failures would consume significant tokens and require expertise. The skill effectively packages domain knowledge (merge method trade-offs, compatibility rules, production deployment) that would be expensive to rediscover. Minor deductions: novelty is somewhat limited since the core tool (mergekit) is well-documented, and some advanced scenarios might still require experimentation beyond the skill's guidance.
