Skill Content
# AI Pipeline Orchestration
Build reliable, observable AI workflows — from document ingestion to batch inference to model training pipelines.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- Scheduling recurring RAG document ingestion and re-indexing
- Orchestrating multi-step batch LLM processing workflows
- Running nightly model evaluation and fine-tuning jobs
- Building ETL pipelines that feed into AI models
- Managing dependencies between data preparation and model serving
Tool Selection
| Tool | Best For | Complexity | GPU Jobs |
|------|----------|------------|----------|
| **Prefect** | Modern Python-first; easy to adopt | Low | Good |
| **Airflow** | Complex DAGs; large teams; existing usage | High | Good |
| **Dagster** | Asset-centric; strong data lineage | Medium | Excellent |
| **Temporal** | Long-running workflows; reliability-first | Medium | Good |
