+```
+
+## 🚀 Quick Start
+
+1. **Read SKILL.md** - Comprehensive guide with all concepts and patterns
+2. **Copy `templates/basic_grpo_training.py`** - Start with working code
+3. **Browse `examples/reward_functions_library.py`** - Pick reward functions for your task
+4. **Modify for your use case** - Adapt dataset, rewards, and config
+
+## 💡 What's Inside
+
+### SKILL.md (Main Documentation)
+- Core GRPO concepts and algorithm fundamentals
+- Complete implementation workflow (dataset → rewards → training → deployment)
+- 10+ reward function examples with code
+- Hyperparameter tuning guide
+- Training insights (loss behavior, metrics, debugging)
+- Troubleshooting guide
+- Production best practices
+
+### Templates
+- **basic_grpo_training.py**: Minimal, production-ready training script
+  - Uses Qwen 2.5 1.5B Instruct
+  - 3 reward functions (format + correctness)
+  - LoRA for efficient training
+  - Fully documented and ready to run
+
+### Examples
+- **reward_functions_library.py**: 20+ battle-tested reward functions
+  - Correctness rewards (exact match, fuzzy match, numeric, code execution)
+  - Format rewards (XML, JSON, strict/soft)
+  - Length rewards (ideal length, min/max)
+  - Style rewards (reasoning quality, citations, repetition penalty)
+  - Combined rewards (multi-objective optimization)
+  - Preset collections for common tasks
+
+## 📖 Usage for Agents
+
+When this skill is loaded in your agent's context:
+
+1. **Always read SKILL.md first** before implementing
+2. **Start simple** - Use length-based reward to validate setup
+3. **Build incrementally** - Add one reward function at a time
+4. **Reference examples** - Copy patterns from reward_functions_library.py
+5. **Monitor training** - Watch reward metrics (not loss!)
+
+## 🎯 Common Use Cases
+
+| Task Type | Recommended Rewards | Template |
+|-----------|---------------------|----------|
+| Math reasoning | `MATH_REASONING_REWARDS` preset | basic_grpo_training.py |
+| Code generation | `CODE_GENERATION_REWARDS` preset | Modify dataset in template |
+| Summarization | `SUMMARIZATION_REWARDS` preset | Adjust prompts + rewards |
+| Q&A | `QA_REWARDS` preset | Use fuzzy match + citations |
+
+## ⚠️ Critical Reminders
+
+- **Loss goes UP during training** - This is normal (it's KL divergence)
+- **Use 3-5 reward functions** - Single rewards often fail
+- **Test rewards before training** - Debug each function independently
+- **Monitor reward_std** - Should stay > 0.1 (avoid mode collapse)
+- **Start with num_generations=4-8** - Scale up if GPU allows

+# GRPO/RL Training with TRL
+
+Expert-level guidance for implementing Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) using the Transformer Reinforcement Learning (TRL) library. This skill provides battle-tested patterns, critical insights, and production-ready workflows for fine-tuning language models with custom reward functions.
+
+## When to Use This Skill
+
+Use GRPO training when you need to:
+- **Enforce specific output formats** (e.g., XML tags, JSON, structured reasoning)
+- **Teach verifiable tasks** with objective correctness metrics (math, coding, fact-checking)
+- **Improve reasoning capabilities** by rewarding chain-of-thought patterns
+- **Align models to domain-specific behaviors** without labeled preference data
+- **Optimize for multiple objectives** simultaneously (format + correctness + style)
+
+**Do NOT use GRPO for:**
+- Simple supervised fine-tuning tasks (use SFT instead)
+- Tasks without clear reward signals
+- When you already have high-quality preference pairs (use DPO/PPO instead)
+
+---
+
+## Core Concepts
+
+### 1. GRPO Algorithm Fundamentals
+
+**Key Mechanism:**
+- Generates **multiple completions** for each prompt (group size: 4-16)
+- Compares completions within each group using reward functions
+- Updates policy to favor higher-rewarded responses relative to the group
+
+**Critical Difference from PPO:**
+- No separate reward model needed
+- More sample-efficient (learns from within-group comparisons)
+- Simpler to implement and debug
+
+**Mathematical Intuition:**
+```
+For each prompt p:
+  1. Generate N completions: {c₁, c₂, ..., cₙ}
+  2. Compute rewards: {r₁, r₂, ..., rₙ}
+  3. Learn to increase probability of high-reward completions
+     relative to low-reward ones in the same group
+```
+
+### 2. Reward Function Design Philosophy
+
+**Golden Rules:**
+1. **Compose multiple reward functions** - Each handles one aspect (format, correctness, style)
+2. **Scale rewards appropriately** - Higher weight = stronger signal
+3. **Use incremental rewards** - Partial credit for partial compliance
+4. **Test rewards independently** - Debug each reward function in isolation
+
+**Reward Function Types:**
+
+| Type | Use Case | Example Weight |
+|------|----------|----------------|
+| **Correctness** | Verifiable tasks (math, code) | 2.0 (highest) |
+| **Format** | Strict structure enforcement | 0.5-1.0 |
+| **Length** | Encourage verbosity/conciseness | 0.1-0.5 |
+| **Style** | Penalize unwanted patterns | -0.5 to 0.5 |
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Workflow
+
+### Step 1: Dataset Preparation
+
+**Critical Requirements:**
+- Prompts in chat format (list of dicts with 'role' and 'content')
+- Include system prompts to set expectations
+- For verifiable tasks, include ground truth answers as additional columns
+
+**Example Structure:**
+```python
+from datasets import load_dataset, Dataset
+
+SYSTEM_PROMPT = """
+Respond in the following format:
+<reasoning>
+[Your step-by-step thinking]
+</reasoning>
+<answer>
+[Final answer]
+</answer>
+"""
+
+def prepare_dataset(raw_data):
+    """
+    Transform raw data into GRPO-compatible format.
+
+    Returns: Dataset with columns:
+    - 'prompt': List[Dict] with role/content (system + user messages)
+    - 'answer': str (ground truth, optional but recommended)
+    """
+    return raw_data.map(lambda x: {
+        'prompt': [
+            {'role': 'system', 'content': SYSTEM_PROMPT},
+            {'role': 'user', 'content': x['question']}
+        ],
+        'answer': extract_answer(x['raw_answer'])
+    })
+```
+
+**Pro Tips:**
+- Use one-shot or few-shot examples in system prompt for complex formats
+- Keep prompts concise (max_prompt_length: 256-512 tokens)
+- Validate data quality before training (garbage in = garbage out)
+
+### Step 2: Reward Function Implementation
+
+**Template Structure:**
+```python
+def reward_function_name(
+    prompts,        # List[List[Dict]]: Original prompts
+    completions,    # List[List[Dict]]: Model generations
+    answer=None,    # Optional: Ground truth from dataset
+    **kwargs        # Additional dataset columns
+) -> list[float]:
+    """
+    Evaluate completions and return rewards.
+
+    Returns: List of floats (one per completion)
+    """
+    # Extract completion text
+    responses = [comp[0]['content'] for comp in completions]
+
+    # Compute rewards
+    rewards = []
+    for response in responses:
+        score = compute_score(response)
+        rewards.append(score)
+
+    return rewards
+```
+
+**Example 1: Correctness Reward (Math/Coding)**
+```python
+def correctness_reward(prompts, completions, answer, **kwargs):
+    """Reward correct answers with high score."""
+    responses = [comp[0]['content'] for comp in completions]
+    extracted = [extract_final_answer(r) for r in responses]
+    return [2.0 if ans == gt else 0.0
+            for ans, gt in zip(extracted, answer)]
+```
+
+**Example 2: Format Reward (Structured Output)**
+```python
+import re
+
+def format_reward(completions, **kwargs):
+    """Reward XML-like structured format."""
+    pattern = r'<reasoning>.*?</reasoning>\s*<answer>.*?</answer>'
+    responses = [comp[0]['content'] for comp in completions]
+    return [1.0 if re.search(pattern, r, re.DOTALL) else 0.0
+            for r in responses]
+```
+
+**Example 3: Incremental Format Reward (Partial Credit)**
+```python
+def incremental_format_reward(completions, **kwargs):
+    """Award partial credit for format compliance."""
+    responses = [comp[0]['content'] for comp in completions]
+    rewards = []
+
+    for r in responses:
+        score = 0.0
+        if '<reasoning>' in r:
+            score += 0.25
+        if '</reasoning>' in r:
+            score += 0.25
+        if '<answer>' in r:
+            score += 0.25
+        if '</answer>' in r:
+            score += 0.25
+        # Penalize extra text after closing tag
+        if r.count('</answer>') == 1:
+            extra_text = r.split('</answer>')[-1].strip()
+            score -= len(extra_text) * 0.001
+        rewards.append(score)
+
+    return rewards
+```
+
+**Critical Insight:**
+Combine 3-5 reward functions for robust training. Order matters less than diversity of signals.
+
+### Step 3: Training Configuration
+
+**Memory-Optimized Config (Small GPU)**
+```python
+from trl import GRPOConfig
+
+training_args = GRPOConfig(
+    output_dir="outputs/grpo-model",
+
+    # Learning rate
+    learning_rate=5e-6,          # Lower = more stable
+    adam_beta1=0.9,
+    adam_beta2=0.99,
+    weight_decay=0.1,
+    warmup_ratio=0.1,
+    lr_scheduler_type='cosine',
+
+    # Batch settings
+    per_device_train_batch_size=1,
+    gradient_accumulation_steps=4,  # Effective batch = 4
+
+    # GRPO-specific
+    num_generations=8,            # Group size: 8-16 recommended
+    max_prompt_length=256,
+    max_completion_length=512,
+
+    # Training duration
+    num_train_epochs=1,
+    max_steps=None,               # Or set fixed steps (e.g., 500)
+
+    # Optimization
+    bf16=True,                    # Faster on A100/H100
+    optim="adamw_8bit",          # Memory-efficient optimizer
+    max_grad_norm=0.1,
+
+    # Logging
+    logging_steps=1,
+    save_steps=100,
+    report_to="wandb",            # Or "none" for no logging
+)
+```
+
+**High-Performance Config (Large GPU)**
+```python
+training_args = GRPOConfig(
+    output_dir="outputs/grpo-model",
+    learning_rate=1e-5,
+    per_device_train_batch_size=4,
+    gradient_accumulation_steps=2,
+    num_generations=16,           # Larger groups = better signal
+    max_prompt_length=512,
+    max_completion_length=1024,
+    num_train_epochs=1,
+    bf16=True,
+    use_vllm=True,                # Fast generation with vLLM
+    logging_steps=10,
+)
+```
+
+**Critical Hyperparameters:**
+
+| Parameter | Impact | Tuning Advice |
+|-----------|--------|---------------|
+| `num_generations` | Group size for comparison | Start with 8, increase to 16 if GPU allows |
+| `learning_rate` | Convergence speed/stability | 5e-6 (safe), 1e-5 (faster, riskier) |
+| `max_completion_length` | Output verbosity | Match your task (512 for reasoning, 256 for short answers) |
+| `gradient_accumulation_steps` | Effective batch size | Increase if GPU memory limited |
+
+### Step 4: Model Setup and Training
+
+**Standard Setup (Transformers)**
+```python
+import torch
+from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
+from peft import LoraConfig
+from trl import GRPOTrainer
+
+# Load model
+model_name = "Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct"
+model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
+    model_name,
+    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
+    attn_implementation="flash_attention_2",  # 2-3x faster
+    device_map="auto"
+)
+
+tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
+tokenizer.pad_token = tokenizer.eos_token
+
+# Optional: LoRA for parameter-efficient training
+peft_config = LoraConfig(
+    r=16,                         # Rank (higher = more capacity)
+    lora_alpha=32,               # Scaling factor (typically 2*r)
+    target_modules=[
+        "q_proj", "k_proj", "v_proj", "o_proj",
+        "gate_proj", "up_proj", "down_proj"
+    ],
+    task_type="CAUSAL_LM",
+    lora_dropout=0.05,
+)
+
+# Initialize trainer
+trainer = GRPOTrainer(
+    model=model,
+    processing_class=tokenizer,
+    reward_funcs=[
+        incremental_format_reward,
+        format_reward,
+        correctness_reward,
+    ],
+    args=training_args,
+    train_dataset=dataset,
+    peft_config=peft_config,      # Remove for full fine-tuning
+)
+
+# Train
+trainer.train()
+
+# Save
+trainer.save_model("final_model")
+```
+
+**Unsloth Setup (2-3x Faster)**
+```python
+from unsloth import FastLanguageModel
+
+model, tokenizer = FastLanguageModel.from_pretrained(
+    model_name="google/gemma-3-1b-it",
+    max_seq_length=1024,
+    load_in_4bit=True,
+    fast_inference=True,
+    max_lora_rank=32,
+)
+
+model = FastLanguageModel.get_peft_model(
+    model,
+    r=32,
+    target_modules=["q_proj", "k_proj", "v_proj", "o_proj",
+                    "gate_proj", "up_proj", "down_proj"],
+    lora_alpha=32,
+    use_gradient_checkpointing="unsloth",
+)
+
+# Rest is identical to standard setup
+trainer = GRPOTrainer(model=model, ...)
+trainer.train()
+```
+
+---
+
+## Critical Training Insights
+
+### 1. Loss Behavior (EXPECTED PATTERN)
+- **Loss starts near 0 and INCREASES during training**
+- This is CORRECT - loss measures KL divergence from initial policy
+- Model is learning (diverging from original behavior to optimize rewards)
+- Monitor reward metrics instead of loss for progress
+
+### 2. Reward Tracking
+Key metrics to watch:
+- `reward`: Average across all completions
+- `reward_std`: Diversity within groups (should remain > 0)
+- `kl`: KL divergence from reference (should grow moderately)
+
+**Healthy Training Pattern:**
+```
+Step   Reward    Reward_Std   KL
+100    0.5       0.3          0.02
+200    0.8       0.25         0.05
+300    1.2       0.2          0.08  ← Good progression
+400    1.5       0.15         0.12
+```
+
+**Warning Signs:**
+- Reward std → 0 (model collapsing to single response)
+- KL exploding (> 0.5) (diverging too much, reduce LR)
+- Reward stuck (reward functions too harsh or model capacity issue)
+
+### 3. Common Pitfalls and Solutions
+
+| Problem | Symptom | Solution |
+|---------|---------|----------|
+| **Mode collapse** | All completions identical | Increase `num_generations`, add diversity penalty |
+| **No learning** | Flat rewards | Check reward function logic, increase LR |
+| **OOM errors** | GPU memory exceeded | Reduce `num_generations`, enable gradient checkpointing |
+| **Slow training** | < 1 it/s | Enable `use_vllm=True`, use Unsloth, reduce seq length |
+| **Format ignored** | Model doesn't follow structure | Increase format reward weight, add incremental rewards |
+
+---
+
+## Advanced Patterns
+
+### 1. Multi-Stage Training
+For complex tasks, train in stages:
+
+```python
+# Stage 1: Format compliance (epochs=1)
+trainer_stage1 = GRPOTrainer(
+    model=model,
+    reward_funcs=[incremental_format_reward, format_reward],
+    ...
+)
+trainer_stage1.train()
+
+# Stage 2: Correctness (epochs=1)
+trainer_stage2 = GRPOTrainer(
+    model=model,
+    reward_funcs=[format_reward, correctness_reward],
+    ...
+)
+trainer_stage2.train()
+```
+
+### 2. Adaptive Reward Scaling
+```python
+class AdaptiveReward:
+    def __init__(self, base_reward_func, initial_weight=1.0):
+        self.func = base_reward_func
+        self.weight = initial_weight
+
+    def __call__(self, *args, **kwargs):
+        rewards = self.func(*args, **kwargs)
+        return [r * self.weight for r in rewards]
+
+    def adjust_weight(self, success_rate):
+        """Increase weight if model struggling, decrease if succeeding."""
+        if success_rate < 0.3:
+            self.weight *= 1.2
+        elif success_rate > 0.8:
+            self.weight *= 0.9
+```
+
+### 3. Custom Dataset Integration
+```python
+def load_custom_knowledge_base(csv_path):
+    """Example: School communication platform docs."""
+    import pandas as pd
+    df = pd.read_csv(csv_path)
+
+    dataset = Dataset.from_pandas(df).map(lambda x: {
+        'prompt': [
+            {'role': 'system', 'content': CUSTOM_SYSTEM_PROMPT},
+            {'role': 'user', 'content': x['question']}
+        ],
+        'answer': x['expert_answer']
+    })
+    return dataset
+```
+
+---
+
+## Deployment and Inference
+
+### Save and Merge LoRA
+```python
+# Merge LoRA adapters into base model
+if hasattr(trainer.model, 'merge_and_unload'):
+    merged_model = trainer.model.merge_and_unload()
+    merged_model.save_pretrained("production_model")
+    tokenizer.save_pretrained("production_model")
+```
+
+### Inference Example
+```python
+from transformers import pipeline
+
+generator = pipeline(
+    "text-generation",
+    model="production_model",
+    tokenizer=tokenizer
+)
+
+result = generator(
+    [
+        {'role': 'system', 'content': SYSTEM_PROMPT},
+        {'role': 'user', 'content': "What is 15 + 27?"}
+    ],
+    max_new_tokens=256,
+    do_sample=True,
+    temperature=0.7,
+    top_p=0.9
+)
+print(result[0]['generated_text'])
+```
+
+---
+
+## Best Practices Checklist
+
+**Before Training:**
+- [ ] Validate dataset format (prompts as List[Dict])
+- [ ] Test reward functions on sample data
+- [ ] Calculate expected max_prompt_length from data
+- [ ] Choose appropriate num_generations based on GPU memory
+- [ ] Set up logging (wandb recommended)
+
+**During Training:**
+- [ ] Monitor reward progression (should increase)
+- [ ] Check reward_std (should stay > 0.1)
+- [ ] Watch for OOM errors (reduce batch size if needed)
+- [ ] Sample generations every 50-100 steps
+- [ ] Validate format compliance on holdout set
+
+**After Training:**
+- [ ] Merge LoRA weights if using PEFT
+- [ ] Test on diverse prompts
+- [ ] Compare to baseline model
+- [ ] Document reward weights and hyperparameters
+- [ ] Save reproducibility config
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting Guide
+
+### Debugging Workflow
+1. **Isolate reward functions** - Test each independently
+2. **Check data distribution** - Ensure diversity in prompts
+3. **Reduce complexity** - Start with single reward, add gradually
+4. **Monitor generations** - Print samples every N steps
+5. **Validate extraction logic** - Ensure answer parsing works
+
+### Quick Fixes
+```python
+# Debug reward function
+def debug_reward(completions, **kwargs):
+    responses = [comp[0]['content'] for comp in completions]
+    for i, r in enumerate(responses[:2]):  # Print first 2
+        print(f"Response {i}: {r[:200]}...")
+    return [1.0] * len(responses)  # Dummy rewards
+
+# Test without training
+trainer = GRPOTrainer(..., reward_funcs=[debug_reward])
+trainer.generate_completions(dataset[:1])  # Generate without updating
+```

+## Usage Instructions for Agents
+
+When this skill is loaded:
+
+1. **Read this entire file** before implementing GRPO training
+2. **Start with the simplest reward function** (e.g., length-based) to validate setup
+3. **Use the templates** in `templates/` directory as starting points
+4. **Reference examples** in `examples/` for task-specific implementations
+5. **Follow the workflow** sequentially (don't skip steps)
+6. **Debug incrementally** - add one reward function at a time
+
+**Critical Reminders:**
+- Always use multiple reward functions (3-5 is optimal)
+- Monitor reward metrics, not loss
+- Test reward functions before training
+- Start small (num_generations=4), scale up gradually
+- Save checkpoints frequently (every 100 steps)
+
+This skill is designed for **expert-level implementation**. Beginners should start with supervised fine-tuning before attempting GRPO.

+1. Dataset loading (get_dataset function)
+2. Reward functions (reward_*_func)
+3. System prompt (SYSTEM_PROMPT)
+4. Hyperparameters (GRPOConfig)
