Hardware-agnostic quantum ML framework with automatic differentiation. Use when training quantum circuits via gradients, building hybrid quantum-classical models, or needing device portability across IBM/Google/Rigetti/IonQ. Best for variational algorithms (VQE, QAOA), quantum neural networks, and integration with PyTorch/JAX/TensorFlow. For hardware-specific optimizations use qiskit (IBM) or cirq (Google); for open quantum systems use qutip.

Excellent quantum ML skill with comprehensive coverage. The description clearly articulates when to use PennyLane (variational algorithms, hybrid models, hardware portability) vs alternatives (qiskit for IBM-specific, cirq for Google, qutip for open systems). SKILL.md provides well-structured quick starts and workflows, with detailed task knowledge systematically organized into 7 reference files covering circuits, ML integration, chemistry, devices, optimization, and advanced features. The skill addresses a genuinely novel domain—quantum machine learning with automatic differentiation—that would require extensive expertise and many tokens for a CLI agent to handle independently. Structure is exemplary: concise main file with clear signposting to specialized references. Minor point: while highly valuable for the niche quantum computing audience, the absolute novelty score reflects that this serves a specialized (though growing) field. Overall, this is a well-crafted skill that meaningfully reduces complexity for quantum ML workflows.
