Machine Learning Ops Ml Pipeline

Machine Learning Pipeline - Multi-Agent MLOps Orchestration

Design and implement a complete ML pipeline for: $ARGUMENTS

Use this skill when

• Working on machine learning pipeline - multi-agent mlops orchestration tasks or workflows
• Needing guidance, best practices, or checklists for machine learning pipeline - multi-agent mlops orchestration

Do not use this skill when

• The task is unrelated to machine learning pipeline - multi-agent mlops orchestration
• You need a different domain or tool outside this scope

Instructions

• Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
• Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
• Provide actionable steps and verification.

Thinking

This workflow orchestrates multiple specialized agents to build a production-ready ML pipeline following modern MLOps best practices. The approach emphasizes:

• Phase-based coordination: Each phase builds upon previous outputs, with clear handoffs between agents
• Modern tooling integration: MLflow/W&B for experiments, Feast/Tecton for features, KServe/Seldon for serving
• Production-first mindset: Every component designed for scale, monitoring, and reliability
• Reproducibility: Version control for data, models, and infrastructure
• Continuous improvement: Automated retraining, A/B testing, and drift detection

The multi-agent approach ensures each aspect is handled by domain experts:

• Data engineers handle ingestion and quality
• Data scientists design features and experiments
• ML engineers implement training pipelines
• MLOps engineers handle production deployment
• Observability engineers ensure monitoring

Implementable scope and evidence

Replace $ARGUMENTS with a bounded objective, data rights, prediction unit, target window, baseline and acceptance metrics. Task/subagent blocks and phase references are orchestration pseudocode, not executable tools; use authorized available delegation and explicit handoffs only. Split by time/entity before fitting transformations to prevent leakage; preserve lineage and an untouched holdout. Obtain approval before dataset/provider egress, GPU spending, alert delivery or deployment. A drift alarm is not a diagnosis or automatic reason to promote a retrained model: evaluate accuracy/calibration/fairness, delayed labels and rollback against a fixed baseline. The numerical success targets below are illustrative, not universal guarantees or observed results. Record actual tests/artifacts and unresolved risks; generated configuration alone is not production readiness or full coverage.
