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 model merging skill with comprehensive coverage of mergekit methods (SLERP, TIES, DARE, Task Arithmetic). The description clearly conveys when and why to use model merging, and SKILL.md provides complete installation, configuration examples, and production deployment guidance. Task knowledge is strong with working YAML configs, Python snippets, and best practices for weight selection and method choice. Structure is clean with logical progression from quick start to advanced patterns, though the single-file approach is slightly dense (could benefit from extracting some advanced examples). Novelty is moderate-to-high: while mergekit itself is the core tool, orchestrating multi-model merges with proper configuration, evaluation, and deployment strategies provides meaningful value over manual CLI usage, especially for complex scenarios like MoE creation and layer-wise merging. Minor improvement: some code examples could be more executable (e.g., benchmark script is illustrative but incomplete). Overall, a well-executed skill that would meaningfully reduce token costs for model merging tasks.
