[feat] eval: async VideoPool + GPU-side common metrics + safe optical-flow chunks

Pipelines path → tensor decode behind GPU metric compute via a new
VideoPool, so multi-sample eval runs no longer serialize disk I/O and
metric work. The Evaluator owns one pool per evaluate(samples=...)
call; each EvalWorker is a single-GPU consumer that grabs decoded
samples from the shared queue (work-stealing across replicas when
num_gpus > 1).

Worker pre-uploads video/reference to its device once per sample so
every metric in the loop consumes the same GPU-resident tensor (no
per-metric .to(device) traffic).

SSIM and PSNR move to the GPU — at 1080p × 121 frames the CPU path
was both slow (5–10 s/pair) and contended with the loader thread for
DDR bandwidth. LPIPS gains a chunk_size knob (default 8) that caps
peak from ~60 GB to ~5 GB with bit-identical output. Optical-flow
metrics drop chunk_size to 1 because DPFlow's cost volume is ~4 GB
per frame pair at 1080p (matches mhuo/ptlflow upstream).

physics_iq and a handful of vbench metrics drop their list-batch
shims — the per-sample contract is now uniform across the suite.

+
+1. **Validate skills**: Run a minimal training experiment using the
+   `experiment-lifecycle` SOP to test `launch-experiment` → `monitor-experiment`
+   → `summarize-run` end-to-end.
+2. **Index first related work**: Use `index-related-work` to add at least one
+   paper (e.g., the Self-Forcing paper used in the codebase).
+3. **Capture first lesson**: After the validation run, capture any findings.
+4. **Promote to Ready**: As each skill/SOP is tested, update its status here.

+
+## When to Create an Exploration Log
+
+- You are working on a task with no existing skill or workflow.
+- You are experimenting with a new metric, training technique, or tool.
+- You want to document findings before they are promoted to a standard.
+
+## File Naming
+

+```
+
+## Lifecycle
+
+1. **Create** during exploration mode.
+2. **Update** as you make progress.
+3. **Promote**: If findings are solid, create a skill in `.agents/skills/` or an SOP in `.agents/workflows/`.
+4. **Archive mistakes**: Move failures into `.agents/lessons/`.

+
+## When to Create a Lesson
+
+- An experiment failed for a non-obvious reason.
+- A configuration or hyperparameter choice led to wasted compute.
+- A porting, data, or infrastructure issue was discovered and resolved.
+- A workaround was needed for a known framework/library bug.

+## Implemented Metrics
+
+### FVD — Fréchet Video Distance
+
+**Category**: Distribution-level quality metric
+**Status**: ✅ Fully implemented in `benchmarks/fvd/`
+**Trust**: High — standard protocol, I3D feature extractor
+
+#### What It Measures
+FVD measures the distance between the **distribution** of generated videos and
+a distribution of real/reference videos. It works by:
+1. Extracting spatiotemporal features from both real and generated video sets
+   using a pretrained **I3D** (Inflated 3D ConvNet) model.
+2. Modeling each set of features as a multivariate Gaussian (mean + covariance).
+3. Computing the **Fréchet distance** between the two Gaussians.
+
+Lower FVD = generated videos are more statistically similar to real videos.
+
+#### Why It Matters
+- FVD is the **de facto standard** for benchmarking video generation models.
+- It captures both **visual quality** (are individual frames realistic?) and
+  **temporal coherence** (do frames flow naturally?).
+- Matrix-Game 2.0, Open-Sora, and most video generation papers report FVD.
+
+#### Limitations
+- Requires a **large sample set** (standard protocol uses 2048 videos) to
+  produce stable statistics. Small sample sizes yield noisy results.
+- Measures **distributional similarity**, not per-video quality. A model could
+  have low FVD by generating a diverse set of "roughly okay" videos.
+- The I3D model was trained on Kinetics-400 (human actions). It may be less
+  sensitive to domain-specific artifacts in non-human-action videos (e.g.,
+  driving, game environments).
+- Does not directly measure text-video alignment or action controllability.
+
+#### How to Use
+
+```python
+# Programmatic
+from benchmarks.fvd import compute_fvd_with_config, FVDConfig
+
+config = FVDConfig.fvd2048_16f()  # Standard: 2048 videos, 16 frames
+results = compute_fvd_with_config('data/real/', 'outputs/gen/', config)
+print(f"FVD: {results['fvd']:.2f}")
+```
+
+```bash
+# CLI
+python -m benchmarks.fvd.cli \
+    --real-path data/real/ \
+    --gen-path outputs/gen/ \
+    --protocol fvd2048_16f
+```
+
+**Preset protocols**:
+| Protocol | Videos | Frames | Use Case |
+|----------|--------|--------|----------|
+| `fvd2048_16f` | 2048 | 16 | Standard benchmark (papers) |
+| `fvd2048_128f` | 2048 | 128 | Long video evaluation |
+| `quick_test` | 100 | 16 | Fast dev iteration |
+
+**Feature extractors**: `i3d` (default, standard), `clip`, `videomae`
+
+#### Interpretation
+| FVD Range | Interpretation |
+|-----------|---------------|
+| < 100 | Excellent — near-real quality |
+| 100–300 | Good — competitive with SOTA |
+| 300–600 | Fair — noticeable gap from real |
+| > 600 | Poor — significant quality issues |
+
+> FVD values are dataset-dependent. Always compare against baselines evaluated
+> on the same real video distribution.
+
+---
+
+### SSIM — Structural Similarity Index
+
+**Category**: Per-frame reference comparison
+**Status**: ✅ Implemented in `fastvideo/tests/ssim/`
+**Trust**: High — used in CI regression tests
+
+#### What It Measures
+SSIM compares two images (or video frames) based on three components:
+1. **Luminance**: brightness similarity
+2. **Contrast**: dynamic range similarity
+3. **Structure**: spatial pattern similarity
+
+The final score is a value in [0, 1] where 1.0 = identical.
+
+#### Why It Matters
+- Used as a **regression guard** in CI: ensures model updates don't degrade
+  visual output below a threshold.
+- More perceptually meaningful than raw pixel MSE.
+- Fast to compute — suitable for automated testing.
+
+#### Limitations
+- Requires a **pixel-aligned reference** video. Cannot compare videos with
+  different seeds, prompts, or angles.
+- Operates **per-frame** — does not capture temporal coherence.
+- Insensitive to some perceptual artifacts (color shifts, high-frequency noise).
+
+#### How to Use
+
+```bash
+pytest fastvideo/tests/ssim/ -vs
+```
+
+#### Interpretation
+| SSIM Range | Quality |
+|------------|---------|
+| > 0.90 | Excellent — very close to reference |
+| 0.80–0.90 | Good — acceptable for most uses |
+| 0.70–0.80 | Fair — noticeable differences |
+| < 0.70 | Poor — significant divergence |
+
+---
+
+### LPIPS — Learned Perceptual Image Patch Similarity
+
+**Category**: Per-frame perceptual distance
+**Status**: ✅ Implemented in `scripts/lora_extraction/lora_inference_comparison.py`
+**Trust**: Medium — available but only used for LoRA comparison currently
+
+#### What It Measures
+LPIPS uses a pretrained neural network (AlexNet by default) to extract
+deep features from two images and computes the distance between them in
+feature space. Unlike SSIM, LPIPS correlates much more strongly with
+**human perceptual judgments**.
+
+Lower LPIPS = more perceptually similar.
+
+#### Why It Matters
+- Best available automated proxy for **human visual judgments** at the frame
+  level.
+- Captures semantic and structural differences that SSIM misses (e.g., texture
+  changes, minor recoloring).
+- Used for validating LoRA merge quality.
+
+#### Limitations
+- Per-frame metric — no temporal awareness.
+- Requires reference video (paired comparison only).
+- Slightly slower than SSIM due to neural network forward pass.
+
+#### How to Use
+
+```bash
+python scripts/lora_extraction/lora_inference_comparison.py \
+  --base merged_model \
+  --ft path/to/finetuned \
+  --adapter NONE \
+  --output-dir results \
+  --prompt "A cat" \
+  --compute-lpips
+```
+
+#### Interpretation
+| LPIPS Range | Quality |
+|-------------|---------|
+| < 0.10 | Excellent — nearly indistinguishable |
+| 0.10–0.20 | Good — minor perceptual differences |
+| 0.20–0.40 | Fair — noticeable differences |
+| > 0.40 | Poor — clearly different |
+
+---
+
+### Loss Trajectory
+
+**Category**: Training signal proxy
+**Status**: ✅ Active (from W&B `train_loss`)
+**Trust**: Medium — proxy, not direct quality measure
+
+#### What It Measures
+Tracks the training loss over time. A healthy training run shows:
+- **Decreasing loss** over the first hundreds of steps.
+- **Stable gradient norms** (no wild spikes).
+- **Consistent step times** (no infrastructure issues).
+
+#### Why It Matters
+- Cheapest evaluation signal — available in real-time from W&B.
+- Critical for the **30-minute quality check** workflow.
+- At later training stages (when loss becomes meaningful), trajectory shape
+  can predict final model quality.
+
+#### Context: How This Evolves
+The team's experience shows evaluation signals change during a project:
+- **Early stage**: Loss may be flat or meaningless → focus on SSIM & visual
+  inspection instead.
+- **Mid stage**: Loss starts decreasing → trajectory shape becomes useful.
+- **Late stage**: Loss is meaningful → can compare trajectories across runs.
+
+This dynamic is a key insight from the team's workflow: don't over-rely on
+loss early; don't ignore it late.
+

+
+### Grad Norm Stability
+
+**Category**: Training health diagnostic
+**Status**: ✅ Active (from W&B `grad_norm`)
+**Trust**: Medium — diagnostic, not quality metric
+
+#### What It Measures
+The magnitude of gradients during training. Stable grad norms indicate
+healthy optimization. Spikes or NaN values indicate training instability.
+
+#### Alert Thresholds
+| Condition | Meaning |
+|-----------|---------|
+| Stable ~0.3–0.5 | Normal training |
+| Single spike > 3× average | Possible bad batch, monitor |
+| NaN or Inf | 🔴 Training has diverged — stop run |
+| Increasing trend | Learning rate may be too high |
+
+---
+
+## External Benchmarks
+
+### GameWorld Score Benchmark (Matrix-Game)
+
+**Category**: Multi-dimensional evaluation framework for interactive world models
+**Status**: 🟡 External — not implemented in-repo
+**Source**: [Matrix-Game 1.0 benchmark](https://github.com/SkyworkAI/Matrix-Game), used in [Matrix-Game 2.0 paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2508.13009)
+
+#### What It Measures
+A comprehensive benchmark examining **four critical capabilities**:
+
+| Dimension | What It Evaluates | Example Signals |
+|-----------|-------------------|-----------------|
+| **Visual quality** | Frame-level realism, absence of artifacts | Color fidelity, sharpness, coherence |
+| **Temporal quality** | Smoothness across frames, motion consistency | Jitter, flickering, temporal aliasing |
+| **Action controllability** | Response to input actions (keyboard/mouse) | Action delay, correctness, smoothness |
+| **Physical rule understanding** | Adherence to physics (gravity, collision) | Object persistence, plausible motion |
+
+#### Context from Matrix-Game 2.0
+- Evaluation uses **597-frame composite action sequences** over 32 Minecraft
+  scenes and 16 wild scenes.
+- Action controllability assessment is **Minecraft-specific** — cannot be
+  directly applied to wild/general scenes.
+- The paper notes that models that "collapse" to static frames can
+  paradoxically score higher on consistency metrics — beware of this confound.
+
+#### Relevance to FastVideo
+- Matrix-Game 2.0 is built on SkyReels-V2/Wan2.1 architecture — **same model
+  family as FastVideo**.
+- Their distillation uses DMD-based Self-Forcing — **same technique** as our
+  `self_forcing_distillation_pipeline.py`.
+- GameWorld Score dimensions are a useful framework for thinking about world
+  model quality even outside gaming contexts.
+
+---
+
+## Human Preference Evaluation
+
+**Category**: Gold-standard quality assessment
+**Status**: 🔴 Manual process — no automated implementation
+**Priority**: **Highest** — this is the most important evaluation signal
+**Trust**: Highest — but expensive
+
+### What It Measures
+Human evaluators compare generated videos and rate them on dimensions like:
+- Overall quality and realism
+- Temporal coherence and smoothness
+- Prompt adherence / action correctness
+- Absence of artifacts
+
+#### Why It's the Most Important Metric
+All automated metrics are **proxies** for human judgment. They can be gamed
+or may miss artifacts that humans easily notice. Human preference is the
+ultimate ground truth for video generation quality.
+
+#### Cost & Practicality
+| Approach | Cost | Scale | When to Use |
+|----------|------|-------|-------------|
+| Internal team review | Low | ~10–50 videos | Every major checkpoint |
+| Crowdsource (MTurk, Scale) | Medium | 100+ videos | Pre-release validation |
+| A/B preference test | Medium | Pairs | Comparing two model versions |
+
+#### Recommended Protocol
+1. Sample 10–20 videos from the model at a checkpoint.
+2. Include diverse prompts (easy + hard, short + long).
+3. Have 2–3 evaluators score each video 1–5 on: quality, coherence, fidelity.
+4. Record scores in the experiment journal.
+
+---
+
+## Metrics NOT Used
+
+| Metric | Reason |
+|--------|--------|
+| ~~CLIP-Score~~ | Not used by the team. Measures text-image alignment using CLIP embeddings, but not well-suited for video temporal quality. |
+| Inception Score (IS) | Less informative than FVD for video; primarily an image metric. |
+| PSNR | Pixel-level metric; less perceptually meaningful than SSIM/LPIPS. |
+
+---
+
+## Adding a New Metric
+
+Follow the SOP: `.agents/workflows/evaluation-development.md`
+
+1. Prototype in `.agents/exploration/`
+2. Validate on known-good and known-bad samples
+3. Add to this registry
+4. Update the `evaluate-video-quality` skill

+# Agent Onboarding — FastVideo-WorldModel
+
+Welcome, agent. This is the **master onboarding** guide. Follow the steps below,
+then check if a **domain-specific onboarding** exists for your task.
+
+## Domain-Specific Onboarding
+
+If your task falls into one of these areas, read the specialized guide **after**
+completing the general steps below:
+
+| Domain | Guide | When to Use |
+|--------|-------|-------------|
+| **WorldModel Training** | `worldmodel-training/README.md` | Training, finetuning, distillation, experiment management |
+
+---
+
+## Step 1: Understand the Codebase
+
+Read these files to build your context:
+
+| Priority | File | What you learn |
+|----------|------|----------------|
+| 1 | `AGENTS.md` | Coding guidelines, build/test commands, PR conventions |
+| 2 | `docs/design/overview.md` | Architecture: models, pipelines, configs, registry |
+| 3 | `fastvideo/train/` | Refactored training framework (YAML-driven, modular methods/models/callbacks) |
+| 4 | `docs/training/overview.md` | Training data flow and preprocessing |
+| 5 | `docs/training/finetune.md` | Training arguments, parallelism, LoRA, validation |
+| 6 | `docs/contributing/coding_agents.md` | How to add model pipelines with agent assistance |
+
+## Step 2: Discover Available Resources
+
+Read these two index files to see what skills and memory modules exist:
+
+- **`.agents/skills/index.jsonl`** — catalog of all agent skills (name + description)
+- **`.agents/memory/index.jsonl`** — catalog of all memory modules (name + description)
+
+Each entry has a `path` field pointing to the full content. Only load the
+full README.md for modules relevant to your current task.
+
+## Step 3: Check for Existing Skills & SOPs
+
+Before writing new code or procedures:
+
+1. **Skills**: Read `.agents/skills/index.jsonl` — find a matching skill by description.
+2. **Workflows/SOPs**: Browse `.agents/workflows/` — step-by-step procedures for common tasks.
+3. **Lessons**: Browse `.agents/lessons/` — known pitfalls and their fixes.
+
+If a skill or SOP exists for your task, **use it**. If not, you are in **exploration mode** — see Step 4.
+
+## Step 4: Exploration Mode
+
+If no existing skill/SOP covers your task:
+
+1. Document your progress in `.agents/exploration/<topic>.md` using the template in `.agents/exploration/README.md`.
+2. At the end of your session, reflect:
+   - **What worked** → propose a new skill or SOP in the exploration log.
+   - **What failed** → create a lesson in `.agents/lessons/`.
+3. Flag the exploration log for human review.

+# WorldModel Training — Agent Onboarding
+
+Specialized onboarding for agents working on FastVideo-WorldModel training,
+distillation, and evaluation. Read the master onboarding (`.agents/onboarding/README.md`)
+first, then come here.
+
+---
+
+## Domain Context
+
+FastVideo-WorldModel trains **interactive world models** — video generation systems
+that respond to user actions (keyboard/mouse) in real-time. The architecture is
+based on **Wan2.1** (SkyReels-V2) DiT models with causal attention for
+auto-regressive streaming generation.
+
+**Key techniques you will work with:**
+- Full finetuning and LoRA on Wan / LTX-2 / MatrixGame models
+- DMD-based distillation (few-step generation)
+- Self-Forcing distillation (causal streaming)
+- Diffusion-Forcing SFT (DFSFT) for causal models
+- VSA (Variable Sparsity Acceleration) for efficient training
+
+---
+
+## Training Code: Two Generations
+
+### New modular framework: `fastvideo/train/` (preferred)
+
+The refactored training code uses a **YAML-only config-driven** architecture
+with composable methods, per-role models, and a callback system. All new
+training work should use this framework.
+
+### Legacy pipelines: `fastvideo/training/` (deprecated)
+
+The old monolithic pipeline classes (`WanTrainingPipeline`,
+`DistillationPipeline`, etc.) still exist but are being phased out. The new
+framework imports select utilities from `fastvideo/training/` for backward
+compatibility (EMA, gradient clipping, checkpoint wrappers).
+
+---
+
+## Essential Reading (Training-Specific)
+
+Read these **in order** before touching any training code:
+
+| # | File | What You Learn |
+|---|------|----------------|
+| 1 | `docs/training/overview.md` | Training data flow: raw video → text embeddings + video latents → training |
+| 2 | `docs/training/finetune.md` | Training arguments, parallelism (SP/TP), LoRA, validation settings |
+| 3 | `docs/training/data_preprocess.md` | How to preprocess datasets into the expected format |
+| 4 | `docs/design/overview.md` | Architecture: models, pipelines, configs, registry |

+
+### Key Concepts
+
+**TrainingMethod** (`methods/base.py`): Abstract base class for all training
+algorithms. Owns role models (student, teacher, critic), manages checkpoint
+state, and defines the training step interface.
+
+**ModelBase** (`models/base.py`): Per-role model wrapper. Each role (student,
+teacher, critic) gets its own `ModelBase` instance owning a `transformer` and
+`noise_scheduler`. `CausalModelBase` extends this for streaming models.
+
+**Callback system** (`callbacks/`): Composable hooks for gradient clipping,
+EMA, validation, etc. Configured via YAML, dispatched by `CallbackDict`.
+
+**Config system** (`utils/config.py`, `utils/training_config.py`): YAML files
+are parsed into typed `RunConfig` dataclass trees. Models and methods use
+`_target_` fields for instantiation (similar to Hydra).
+
+### Training Flow
+
+```
+run_training_from_config(config_path)
+  → load_run_config()           # YAML → RunConfig
+  → init_distributed()          # TP/SP setup
+  → build_from_config()         # instantiate models, method, dataloader
+  → Trainer.run()               # main loop:
+      ├─ callbacks.on_train_start()
+      ├─ checkpoint_manager.maybe_resume()
+      ├─ for step in range(max_steps):
+      │    ├─ method.single_train_step(batch)
+      │    ├─ method.backward()
+      │    ├─ callbacks.on_before_optimizer_step()
+      │    ├─ method.optimizers_schedulers_step()
+      │    ├─ tracker.log(metrics, step)
+      │    ├─ callbacks.on_training_step_end()
+      │    └─ checkpoint_manager.maybe_save(step)
+      ├─ callbacks.on_train_end()
+      └─ checkpoint_manager.save_final()
+```
+
+### Training Methods
+
+| Method | Class | Use Case |
+|--------|-------|----------|
+| **FineTune** | `FineTuneMethod` | Single-role supervised finetuning |
+| **DFSFT** | `DiffusionForcingSFTMethod` | Diffusion-forcing SFT with inhomogeneous timesteps |
+| **DMD2** | `DMD2Method` | Multi-role distribution matching distillation (student + teacher + critic) |
+| **Self-Forcing** | `SelfForcingMethod` | Extends DMD2 for causal student rollouts |
+
+### Launching Training (New Framework)
+
+Training is launched via `torchrun` with a single YAML config:
+
+```bash
+torchrun --nproc_per_node <N_GPUS> \
+  -m fastvideo.train.entrypoint.train \
+  --config examples/train/<config>.yaml
+```
+
+### Example YAML Configs
+
+| Config | Method | Description |
+|--------|--------|-------------|
+| `examples/train/finetune_wan2.1_t2v_1.3B_vsa_phase3.4_0.9sparsity.yaml` | FineTune | Wan 1.3B finetuning with VSA sparsity |
+| `examples/train/distill_wan2.1_t2v_1.3B_dmd2.yaml` | DMD2 | Wan 1.3B distillation (student + teacher + critic) |
+| `examples/train/dfsft_wan_causal_t2v_1.3B.yaml` | DFSFT | Causal Wan 1.3B diffusion-forcing SFT |
+| `examples/train/self_forcing_wan_causal_t2v_1.3B.yaml` | Self-Forcing | Causal streaming distillation |
+
+### Checkpointing (New Framework)
+
+**CheckpointManager** (`utils/checkpoint.py`) saves via `torch.distributed.checkpoint`:
+
+```
+output_dir/
+└─ checkpoint-{step}/
+   ├─ dcp/                    # DCP state dict
+   ├─ config.json             # resolved training config
+   └─ .fastvideo_metadata.json
+```
+
+Checkpoint state includes: role model weights, per-role optimizers/schedulers,
+CUDA RNG state, and callback state (e.g., EMA shadow weights).
+
+### Config Structure
+
+A YAML config defines the full training pipeline:
+
+```yaml
+models:
+  student:
+    _target_: fastvideo.train.models.wan.WanModel
+    model_path: ...
+    trainable: true
+  teacher:  # optional, for distillation
+    _target_: fastvideo.train.models.wan.WanModel
+    model_path: ...
+    trainable: false
+
+method:
+  _target_: fastvideo.train.methods.fine_tuning.FineTuneMethod
+  # method-specific params...

+  data: { data_path: ..., batch_size: 1 }
+  optimizer: { lr: 1e-5, lr_scheduler: constant_with_warmup }
+  loop: { max_train_steps: 1000 }
+  checkpoint: { output_dir: ./outputs }
+  tracker: { trackers: [wandb], project_name: ... }
+
+callbacks:
+  grad_clip:
+    _target_: fastvideo.train.callbacks.GradNormClipCallback
+    max_grad_norm: 1.0
+  validation:
+    _target_: fastvideo.train.callbacks.ValidationCallback
+    validation_steps: 100
+```

+
+## World Model–Specific Concepts
+
+### Action Injection (MatrixGame)
+The MatrixGame pipeline adds **action modules** to each DiT block, enabling
+frame-level mouse/keyboard input conditioning. The action sequence is injected
+per-frame alongside the latent video tokens.
+
+### Causal Architecture
+For streaming generation, the model uses **causal attention** (each frame only
+attends to previous frames). This enables auto-regressive chunk-by-chunk
+generation — critical for real-time interactive world models.
+
+### Self-Forcing Distillation
+A **data-free** distillation method where the student model is trained to
+generate coherent video sequences by being forced to use its own previous
+outputs (rather than ground-truth) as context. This produces models robust to
+their own error accumulation during long auto-regressive generation.
+
+### DMD Distillation (Distribution Matching Distillation)
+Reduces inference steps from ~50 to 3–4 by training a student model to match
+the output distribution of the teacher model. Uses a critic network to estimate
+distribution divergence.
+
+### Diffusion-Forcing SFT (DFSFT)
+Supervised finetuning with **inhomogeneous timesteps** across chunks — each
+chunk in a causal sequence can have a different noise level, training the model
+to handle mixed-fidelity contexts.

+description: Evaluate generated video quality using available metrics (SSIM, loss trajectory, caption consistency)
+---
+
+# Evaluate Video Quality
+
+## Purpose
+Assess the quality of videos generated by a training run. Combines multiple
+signals to give a holistic quality assessment. This skill is **evolving** —
+new metrics will be added as they are developed.
+
+## Prerequisites
+- Generated videos available locally or via W&B artifacts.
+- For SSIM: reference videos from official implementations.
+- For caption consistency: LLM access (optional, stub for now).
+
+## Inputs
+
+| Parameter | Required | Description |
+|-----------|----------|-------------|
+| `video_paths` | Yes | List of paths to generated videos |
+| `reference_paths` | No | Paths to reference videos (for SSIM) |
+| `prompts` | No | Prompts used to generate videos (for caption check) |
+| `loss_summary` | No | Path to W&B summary JSON (for loss trajectory) |
+| `metrics` | No | Which metrics to run (default: all available) |
+
+## Available Metrics
+
+Check `.agents/memory/evaluation-registry/README.md` for the current catalog.
+
+### SSIM (Active)
+
+Leverages the existing infrastructure in `fastvideo/tests/ssim/`.
+
+```bash
+pytest fastvideo/tests/ssim/ -vs --video-path <generated> --reference-path <reference>
+```
+
+Or use the SSIM utility directly:
+
+```python
+from fastvideo.tests.ssim.ssim_utils import compute_ssim
+score = compute_ssim(generated_video, reference_video)
+# score > 0.85 is typically "acceptable"
+```
+
+**Interpretation**:
+| SSIM Range | Quality |
+|------------|---------|
+| > 0.90 | Excellent — very close to reference |
+| 0.80–0.90 | Good — acceptable for most uses |
+| 0.70–0.80 | Fair — noticeable differences |
+| < 0.70 | Poor — significant quality issues |
+
+### Loss Trajectory (Active)
+
+Analyze the loss curve shape from W&B summary:
+
+```python
+import json
+with open(loss_summary_path) as f:
+    summary = json.load(f)
+
+final_loss = summary["train_loss"]
+runtime = summary["_runtime"]
+steps = summary["_step"]
+```
+
+**Early-stage heuristics** (first 500 steps):
+- Loss should be decreasing (even slightly).
+- Grad norm should be stable (no wild oscillations).
+- If loss is flat or increasing, flag for review.
+
+### Caption Consistency (Draft — Not Yet Calibrated)
+
+Use an LLM to evaluate whether the video content matches the input prompt.
+
+```
+Prompt: "A golden retriever playing in the snow"
+Video: <path>
+
+Score the video on:
+1. Object presence (is there a golden retriever?)
+2. Action accuracy (is it playing?)
+3. Environment match (is there snow?)
+4. Overall coherence (does it look natural?)
+
+Each 1-5, total /20.
+```
+
+> ⚠️ This metric is in **draft** status. Results should not be treated as
+> ground truth until calibrated against human judgments.
+
+## Steps
+
+1. **Identify available metrics** — Check `.agents/memory/evaluation-registry/README.md`.
+2. **Run each metric** — Collect scores.
+3. **Aggregate** — Produce a combined quality report.
+4. **Log** — Update the experiment journal with quality results.
+
+## Outputs
+
+```markdown
+## Video Quality Report: <experiment_name>
+
+| Metric | Score | Threshold | Status |
+|--------|-------|-----------|--------|
+| SSIM (avg) | 0.87 | > 0.80 | ✅ Pass |
+| Loss trajectory | decreasing | decreasing | ✅ Pass |
+| Caption consistency | 16/20 | > 14/20 | ✅ Pass |
+
+### Per-Video Scores
+| Video | SSIM | Caption |
+|-------|------|---------|
+| video_001.mp4 | 0.89 | 17/20 |
+| video_002.mp4 | 0.85 | 15/20 |

+description: Generate and execute a training launch command for FastVideo models
+---
+
+# Launch Experiment
+
+## Purpose
+Construct a fully-specified `torchrun` training command for a FastVideo model
+given a target pipeline, dataset, and hyperparameter overrides. This skill
+automates the boilerplate of setting environment variables, picking the right
+entrypoint, and applying defaults from the closest example script.
+
+## Prerequisites
+- The repo is cloned and `fastvideo` is installed (`uv pip install -e .[dev]`).
+- Dataset is preprocessed (see `docs/training/data_preprocess.md`).
+- `WANDB_API_KEY` is set in the environment (or `WANDB_MODE=offline` for local).
+- GPU resources are available (multi-GPU requires NCCL).
+
+## Inputs
+
+| Parameter | Required | Description |
+|-----------|----------|-------------|
+| `pipeline` | Yes | Training pipeline type: `finetune`, `distill-dmd`, `self-forcing`, `lora`, `consistency` |
+| `model` | Yes | Model family: `wan-t2v-1.3B`, `wan-i2v-14B`, `ltx2`, `matrixgame` |
+| `data_path` | Yes | Path to preprocessed dataset (parquet) |
+| `num_gpus` | Yes | Number of GPUs |
+| `overrides` | No | Dict of hyperparameter overrides (any CLI arg) |
+| `output_dir` | No | Output directory (default: `outputs/<model>_<pipeline>`) |
+| `run_name` | No | W&B run name (default: auto-generated) |
+
+## Steps
+
+### 1. Identify the training entrypoint
+
+| Pipeline | Entrypoint |
+|----------|-----------|
+| `finetune` (Wan T2V) | `fastvideo/training/wan_training_pipeline.py` |
+| `finetune` (Wan I2V) | `fastvideo/training/wan_i2v_training_pipeline.py` |
+| `finetune` (LTX-2) | `fastvideo/training/ltx2_training_pipeline.py` |
+| `finetune` (MatrixGame) | `fastvideo/training/matrixgame_training_pipeline.py` |
+| `distill-dmd` | `fastvideo/training/wan_distillation_pipeline.py` |
+| `self-forcing` | `fastvideo/training/wan_self_forcing_distillation_pipeline.py` |
+
+### 2. Resolve default hyperparameters
+
+Find the closest example script in `examples/training/` for the model:
+
+| Model | Example Script Directory |
+|-------|-------------------------|
+| `wan-t2v-1.3B` | `examples/training/finetune/wan_t2v_1.3B/crush_smol/` |
+| `wan-i2v-14B` | `examples/training/finetune/wan_i2v_14B_480p/crush_smol/` |
+| `ltx2` | `examples/training/finetune/ltx2/` |
+| `matrixgame` | `examples/training/finetune/MatrixGame2.0/` |
+| `distill-dmd` | `scripts/distill/v1_distill_dmd_wan.sh` |
+
+Read the script to extract default values for:
+- `--learning_rate`, `--train_batch_size`, `--sp_size`, `--tp_size`
+- `--num_latent_t`, `--num_height`, `--num_width`, `--num_frames`
+- `--gradient_accumulation_steps`, `--max_train_steps`
+- `--mixed_precision`, `--weight_decay`, `--max_grad_norm`
+- `--validation_steps`, `--validation_sampling_steps`
+
+### 3. Set environment variables
+
+```bash
+export WANDB_API_KEY="${WANDB_API_KEY}"
+export WANDB_BASE_URL="https://api.wandb.ai"
+export FASTVIDEO_ATTENTION_BACKEND=FLASH_ATTN
+export TOKENIZERS_PARALLELISM=false
+export TRITON_CACHE_DIR=/tmp/triton_cache
+```
+
+### 4. Construct the torchrun command
+
+```bash
+torchrun --nnodes 1 --nproc_per_node <num_gpus> \
+    <entrypoint> \
+    --pretrained_model_name_or_path <model_hf_id> \

+    --wandb_run_name "<run_name>" \
+    --tracker_project_name "<project_name>" \
+    --log_validation \
+    <...all hyperparameters...>
+```
+
+### 5. Log to experiment journal
+
+After launching, append an entry to `.agents/memory/experiment-journal/README.md`:
+
+```markdown
+## [YYYY-MM-DD] Experiment: <run_name>
+- **Hypothesis**: <user-provided or auto-generated>
+- **Config**: model=<model>, lr=<lr>, sp_size=<sp>, gpus=<n>, script=<entrypoint>
+- **W&B run**: <pending — will be updated by monitor skill>
+- **Status**: running
+```
+
+## Outputs
+- A ready-to-execute shell command.
+- An experiment journal entry.
+
+## Example Usage
+
+```
+Launch a Wan T2V 1.3B finetune on 4 GPUs with lr=5e-5 and max_train_steps=1000:
+
+  pipeline: finetune
+  model: wan-t2v-1.3B

+## Purpose
+Create or update an entry in `.agents/memory/experiment-journal/README.md` to maintain
+a living record of all experiments and their outcomes.
+
+## Prerequisites
+- `.agents/memory/experiment-journal/README.md` exists.
+
+## Inputs
+
+| Parameter | Required | Description |
+|-----------|----------|-------------|
+| `name` | Yes | Experiment name / identifier |

+
+## Steps
+
+### 1. Check for existing entry
+
+Search `.agents/memory/experiment-journal/README.md` for an entry with the same name.
+If found, update it instead of creating a duplicate.
+
+### 2. Format the entry
+
+```markdown
+## [YYYY-MM-DD] Experiment: <name>
+- **Hypothesis**: <hypothesis or "N/A">
+- **Config**: model=<model>, lr=<lr>, sp_size=<sp>, gpus=<n>, script=<script>
+- **W&B run**: <wandb_run or "pending">

+- **Insight**: <insight or "pending">
+- **Status**: <status>
+- **Related lessons**: <lessons or "none">
+```
+
+### 3. Insert at the top of the journal
+
+New entries go at the top of the file (after the header), so the most recent
+experiments are always visible first.
+
+### 4. Warn on duplicates
+
+If a similar experiment name exists with `status: completed`, warn that this
+may be a repeat. If it's `status: running`, assume this is an update.
+
+## Outputs

+```
+Log a completed experiment:
+
+  name: wan-t2v-finetune-lr5e5-sp4
+  config: model=wan-t2v-1.3B, lr=5e-5, sp_size=4, gpus=4

+description: Poll a running W&B training run for progress and emit structured alerts
+---
+
+# Monitor Experiment
+
+## Purpose
+Continuously (or on-demand) check a running experiment's W&B metrics and emit
+alerts for anomalies. Supports the "30-minute quality check" paradigm: after
+the first 30 minutes of a long training run, produce a checkpoint quality
+report before committing more resources.
+
+## Prerequisites
+- `WANDB_API_KEY` is set in the environment.
+- The experiment is actively logging to W&B (not in `WANDB_MODE=offline`).
+- For offline mode: read from local `wandb-summary.json` instead.
+
+## Inputs
+
+| Parameter | Required | Description |
+|-----------|----------|-------------|
+| `run_id` | Yes* | W&B run ID (e.g., `entity/project/run_id`) |
+| `output_dir` | Yes* | Local output directory (for offline mode fallback) |
+| `poll_interval` | No | Seconds between polls (default: 60) |
+| `alert_on` | No | List of alert conditions to enable (default: all) |
+
+\* One of `run_id` or `output_dir` is required.
+
+## Steps
+
+### 1. Connect to the run
+
+**Online mode** (preferred):
+
+```python
+import wandb
+api = wandb.Api()
+run = api.run("<run_id>")
+```
+
+**Offline fallback**:
+
+```python
+import json
+summary_path = f"{output_dir}/tracker/wandb/latest-run/files/wandb-summary.json"
+with open(summary_path) as f:
+    summary = json.load(f)
+```
+
+### 2. Track key metrics
+
+| Metric | W&B Key | Description |
+|--------|---------|-------------|
+| Training loss | `train_loss` | Primary training loss |
+| Gradient norm | `grad_norm` | Gradient magnitude |
+| Step time | `step_time` | Wall-clock seconds per step |
+| Learning rate | `learning_rate` | Current LR |
+| Avg step time | `avg_step_time` | Running average step time |
+| Validation videos | `validation_videos_*` | Generated validation samples |
+
+### 3. Evaluate alert conditions
+
+| Alert | Condition | Severity |
+|-------|-----------|----------|
+| **Loss spike** | `current_loss > 3 × rolling_avg_loss` | 🔴 Critical |
+| **NaN/Inf gradient** | `grad_norm` is NaN or Inf | 🔴 Critical |
+| **Step time regression** | `step_time > 2 × baseline_step_time` | 🟡 Warning |
+| **No progress** | No new W&B logs for > 10 minutes | 🟡 Warning |
+| **Loss plateau** | Loss change < 1% over last 100 steps | 🟢 Info |
+
+### 4. Emit structured status
+
+Output format (agent-consumable):
+
+```json
+{
+  "run_id": "...",

+description: Seed HF reference videos for a single newly-added SSIM test. Runs the test on Modal L40S, downloads the generated mp4s via `modal volume get`, pauses for the user to eyeball quality, then uploads only that test's files to `FastVideo/ssim-reference-videos`. Use when a new `fastvideo/tests/ssim/test_*_similarity.py` has just been added and has no references on HF yet.
+---
+
+# Seed SSIM Reference Videos
+
+## Purpose
+
+A brand-new SSIM test in `fastvideo/tests/ssim/` fails forever until its
+reference videos exist on the HF dataset (`FastVideo/ssim-reference-videos`).
+This skill:
+
+1. Runs the test on Modal's L40S pool to generate the videos.
+2. Downloads them to the local repo via `modal volume get`.
+3. Pauses so the user can eyeball the mp4s and confirm quality.
+4. Uploads only the new test's files to HF, with a guard that refuses to
+   overwrite anything already present.
+
+The skill is run **manually**, once per new test. Before invoking it, the user
+has already sanity-tested the new test locally — it launches `VideoGenerator`
+and writes an mp4 without crashing. The skill does not re-test locally; it
+goes straight to Modal L40S (which is what CI uses).
+
+## When to use
+
+- A new `test_*_similarity.py` file has been added in `fastvideo/tests/ssim/`
+  and the HF dataset has no `reference_videos/default/L40S_reference_videos/<model_id>/`
+  subtree for it yet.
+
+## When not to use
+
+- Regular CI runs — once refs exist, `pytest fastvideo/tests/ssim/` downloads
+  them automatically.
+- Re-seeding an existing test. That requires `--force` on the upload step, and
+  is out of scope here; treat as a separate, deliberate operation.
+
+## Inputs
+
+The skill has **one required input**: the path to the new SSIM test file.
+Prompt the user for it if they didn't supply it.
+
+| Parameter | Required | Description |
+|-----------|----------|-------------|
+| `test_file` | Yes | e.g. `fastvideo/tests/ssim/test_ltx2_similarity.py`. The skill's first action is to ask for this if missing. |
+
+Everything else is fixed:
+
+- Modal runner GPU: **L40S** (hardcoded in `fastvideo/tests/modal/ssim_test.py`).
+- Device folder: `L40S_reference_videos`.
+- Quality tier: `default` (the tier CI runs). The `full_quality` tier is not
+  seeded by this skill.
+- HF repo: `FastVideo/ssim-reference-videos` (dataset).
+- Multi-model test files: all model ids in `*_MODEL_TO_PARAMS` are seeded
+  together; the Modal run produces one mp4 per (model, prompt, backend) and
+  the upload scopes by `--model-id`, looping if there is more than one.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+The user has confirmed:
+
+- `modal` CLI authenticated.
+- `HF_API_KEY` (or `HUGGINGFACE_HUB_TOKEN` / `HF_TOKEN`) exported with write
+  access to `FastVideo/ssim-reference-videos`.
+- The test file runs locally end-to-end (generates an mp4; SSIM assertion
+  failure due to missing reference is expected and fine).
+
+Fail fast if the token env var is missing.
+
+## Steps
+
+### 1. Ask for the test file
+
+If the user didn't name one, ask: *"Which SSIM test file do you want to seed
+references for? (e.g. `fastvideo/tests/ssim/test_ltx2_similarity.py`)"*.
+
+Validate:
+
+- Path exists and matches `fastvideo/tests/ssim/test_*_similarity.py`.
+- File defines a `*_MODEL_TO_PARAMS` dict — grep it to extract the set of
+  model ids. Those ids drive step 5.
+
+If either check fails, stop and tell the user what's wrong.
+
+### 2. Run the test on Modal L40S
+
+Pick a subdir name so repeated runs don't collide:
+
+```bash
+SHORT_COMMIT=$(git rev-parse --short=12 HEAD)
+TIMESTAMP=$(date -u +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)
+SUBDIR="${TIMESTAMP}_${SHORT_COMMIT}"
+```
+
+Then launch the Modal run:
+
+```bash
+modal run fastvideo/tests/modal/ssim_test.py \
+    --git-repo="$(git config --get remote.origin.url)" \
+    --git-commit="$(git rev-parse HEAD)" \
+    --hf-api-key="$HF_API_KEY" \
+    --test-files="<test_file>" \
+    --sync-generated-to-volume \
+    --generated-volume-subdir="$SUBDIR" \
+    --skip-reference-download \
+    --no-fail-fast
+```
+
+Flag rationale:
+- `--skip-reference-download`: no refs exist yet, so conftest must not try to
+  pull them.
+- `--no-fail-fast`: lets the test finish generation before `_assert_similarity`
+  raises `FileNotFoundError: Reference video folder does not exist`. The
+  expected failure is what we want — the mp4 has already been written.
+- `--sync-generated-to-volume` + `--generated-volume-subdir`: copies the
+  generated mp4s to the `hf-model-weights` Modal volume under
+  `ssim_generated_videos/default/<SUBDIR>/generated_videos/` so we can pull
+  them locally.
+
+The Modal run will end with a nonzero exit (expected) and print a
+`modal volume get hf-model-weights ssim_generated_videos/default/<SUBDIR>/generated_videos ./generated_videos_modal/default`
+command. Capture that `<SUBDIR>` — you need it for step 3.
+
+### 3. Download generated videos locally
+
+```bash
+modal volume get --force hf-model-weights \
+    ssim_generated_videos/default/"$SUBDIR"/generated_videos \
+    ./generated_videos_modal/default
+```
+
+`--force` is required when the parent `./generated_videos_modal/default`
+already exists; without it, `modal volume get` errors with `[Errno 21] Is a
+directory`. Safe to pass on the first run too.
+
+After this, the mp4s live at
+`./generated_videos_modal/default/generated_videos/L40S_reference_videos/<model_id>/<backend>/<prompt>.mp4`.
+The extra `generated_videos/` level comes from the volume layout in
+`_sync_generated_videos_to_volume` (`ssim_test.py`) — the command copies
+`<repo>/fastvideo/tests/ssim/generated_videos/<tier>` to
+`ssim_generated_videos/<tier>/<SUBDIR>/generated_videos/`, and `modal volume
+get` preserves that trailing `generated_videos/` segment.
+
+### 4. PAUSE — user reviews quality
+
+Print the list of downloaded mp4s and their paths, then stop. Tell the user:
+
+> "Generated videos downloaded to `./generated_videos_modal/default/generated_videos/L40S_reference_videos/`. Please open them and confirm the quality looks correct. Reply **`upload`** to continue, or anything else to abort."
+
+Do not proceed until the user explicitly says `upload`. If they abort, leave
+everything on disk so they can inspect further — no cleanup.
+
+### 5. Copy into the local reference layout
+
+Scoped copy — only the new test's mp4s. Loop over each `<model_id>` extracted
+in step 1:
+
+```bash
+python fastvideo/tests/ssim/reference_videos_cli.py copy-local \
+    --quality-tier default \
+    --device-folder L40S_reference_videos \
+    --generated-dir ./generated_videos_modal/default/generated_videos/L40S_reference_videos
+```
+
+(The `--generated-dir` points at the device-folder root inside the
+downloaded tree; `copy-local` walks all `<model>/<backend>/*.mp4`
+underneath it. Since the Modal run was scoped to a single test file via
+`--test-files`, only that test's model(s) are present — so the copy is
+implicitly per-test.)
+
+Result: `fastvideo/tests/ssim/reference_videos/default/L40S_reference_videos/<model_id>/<backend>/<prompt>.mp4`.
+
+### 6. Upload to HF — scoped per model_id, with overwrite guard
+
+For each `<model_id>`:
+
+```bash
+python fastvideo/tests/ssim/reference_videos_cli.py upload \
+    --quality-tier default \
+    --device-folder L40S_reference_videos \
+    --model-id "<model_id>"
+```
+
+The upload command:
+
+- Uploads **only** `reference_videos/default/L40S_reference_videos/<model_id>/`.
+- **Refuses** if any file already exists at that path on HF (this is the
+  guard — seeding a new test should never clobber existing refs). To override,
+  the user must re-run with `--force`. If the guard fires, stop and report
+  exactly which files exist; do not silently `--force`.
+
+Reads the HF token from `HF_API_KEY` / `HUGGINGFACE_HUB_TOKEN` / `HF_TOKEN`.
+
+### 7. Report success
+
+List what was uploaded (paths in repo) and remind the user to push any
+related code changes. Do **not** auto-verify by re-running Modal — the user
+can run `pytest fastvideo/tests/ssim/<test_file>` later to confirm end-to-end;
+it will auto-download the refs they just uploaded.
+
+## Failure modes and how to handle them
+
+- **`HF_API_KEY` unset.** Stop before step 2. The Modal run needs it (passed
+  via `--hf-api-key`), and step 6 needs it for upload.
+- **Modal run fails before generation.** No mp4s on the volume — nothing to
+  download. Fix the test locally (`pytest fastvideo/tests/ssim/<test_file>`)
+  and retry from step 2.
+- **`./generated_videos_modal/default/L40S_reference_videos/` missing after
+  `modal volume get`.** The run didn't produce videos (most likely the test
+  crashed before writing, or `REQUIRED_GPUS` exceeded the partition capacity
+  — see Modal logs).
+- **Upload guard fires (files already exist).** The test name / model id
+  collides with something already on HF. Verify the user actually wants to
+  replace existing refs; if so, re-run the upload with `--force`. If not,
+  rename the model id in `*_MODEL_TO_PARAMS` and re-seed.
+- **Quality looks wrong in step 4.** Abort. The mp4s stay on disk for
+  inspection. The fix is usually in the test's params (resolution, steps,
+  seed) — edit the test, then re-run the skill.
+
+## Design notes (for future skill maintainers)
+
+- The skill deliberately runs on Modal, **not** locally, because the CI
+  runner is L40S. Seeding from a different GPU SKU produces refs that CI's
+  L40S runs can't match (SSIM drifts across SKUs).
+- The skill is default-tier only. `full_quality` refs are seeded by a
+  separate, deliberate operation — they double runtime and aren't what CI
+  gates on.
+- The overwrite guard in `reference_videos_cli.py upload` is default-on
+  specifically because this skill exists. Re-seeding is a distinct operation
+  that requires explicit `--force`.

+# Summarize Run
+
+## Purpose
+After a training run completes (or at any checkpoint), extract key metrics from
+the W&B run summary and produce a structured markdown report. Supports both
+online (W&B API) and offline (local `wandb-summary.json`) modes.
+
+## Prerequisites
+- Run has completed or reached a checkpoint with a saved summary.
+- For online: `WANDB_API_KEY` set in environment.
+- For offline: access to `<output_dir>/tracker/wandb/latest-run/files/wandb-summary.json`.
+
+## Inputs
+
+| Parameter | Required | Description |
+|-----------|----------|-------------|
+| `run_id` | Yes* | W&B run ID for online access |
+| `output_dir` | Yes* | Local output dir for offline access |
+| `reference_run` | No | Path to reference `wandb-summary.json` for comparison |

+\* One of `run_id` or `output_dir` is required.
+
+## Steps
+
+### 1. Load run summary
+
+**Online**:
+
+```python
+import wandb
+api = wandb.Api()
+run = api.run("<run_id>")
+summary = dict(run.summary)
+config = dict(run.config)
+```
+
+**Offline** (existing codebase pattern from `fastvideo/tests/training/`):
+
+```python
+import json
+summary_path = f"{output_dir}/tracker/wandb/latest-run/files/wandb-summary.json"
+with open(summary_path) as f:

+    print(f"{status} {field}: {cur_val:.4f} (ref: {ref_val:.4f}, diff: {diff_pct:.1f}%)")
+```
+
+### 4. Generate report

+description: How to develop, validate, and register a new evaluation metric
+---
+
+# Evaluation Development SOP
+
+Standard procedure for adding new video quality evaluation metrics to
+the FastVideo agent toolkit.
+
+## When to use
+
+- You need a metric that does not exist in
+  `.agents/memory/evaluation-registry/README.md`.
+- An existing metric needs significant changes to its methodology.
+- You are exploring a new evaluation approach.
+
+## Steps
+
+### 1. Research
+
+- Search `.agents/memory/related-work/` for existing evaluation
+  approaches.
+- Check `.agents/memory/evaluation-registry/README.md` for current
+  metrics and their limitations.
+- Review literature: FVD, CLIP-Score, human preference, etc.
+
+### 2. Prototype
+
+- Write a standalone script in `.agents/exploration/<metric-name>.md`.
+- Keep it simple: one script, minimal dependencies.
+- Test on a few known-good and known-bad video samples.
+
+### 3. Validate
+
+- **Known-good test**: metric should score high on reference-quality
+  videos.
+- **Known-bad test**: metric should score low on degraded or unrelated
+  videos.
+- **Sensitivity test**: small quality differences should produce
+  meaningful score differences.
+- Document thresholds and their justification.
+
+### 4. Register
+
+Update `.agents/memory/evaluation-registry/README.md`:
+
+- Add the metric with status `Active`.
+- Document location, thresholds, and trust level.
+
+### 5. Integrate
+
+Update `.agents/skills/evaluate-video-quality/SKILL.md`:
+
+- Add the new metric as a section.
+- Include code examples and interpretation guide.
+
+### 6. Document
+
+- Move the exploration log content into the skill.
+- Clean up the exploration file or mark it as `promoted`.
+- If anything went wrong during development, create a lesson.
+
+## Where the metrics live
+
+The eval suite is `fastvideo/eval/`. New metrics register themselves
+via `@register("<group>.<name>")` and are auto-discovered when
+`fastvideo.eval.metrics` is imported.
+
+- **Native metrics** (SSIM, PSNR, LPIPS, optical flow, VLM): add a
+  file under the appropriate group dir
+  (`fastvideo/eval/metrics/common/`, `optical_flow/`, `videoscore2/`,
+  `physics_iq/`).
+- **Metrics that wrap upstream research code**: follow the vbench
+  pattern in `fastvideo/eval/metrics/vbench/`. The contract is:
+  - Upstream lives as a git submodule under
+    `fastvideo/third_party/eval/<bench>/`, pinned to a SHA in repo-root
+    `.gitmodules`.
+  - The metric package's `__init__.py` inserts the submodule path on
+    `sys.path` and installs runtime compat shims (attribute-level
+    monkey-patches) for any modern-dep drift. Do not modify upstream
+    files on disk, and do not ship a `setup.sh`.
+  - See `fastvideo/eval/README.md` for the worked vbench example.
+  - Full porting guide:
+    [`docs/contributing/eval-metrics.md`](../../docs/contributing/eval-metrics.md).
+
+## Out of scope of the initial eval port
+
+The following land in follow-up PRs:
+
+- **MIND** metrics (depends on a separate `vipe` submodule).
+- **VBench-2.0** sibling package.
+- Native conversion of **FVD** under `fastvideo/eval/metrics/fvd/`.
+- The training-time `EvalCallback`.

+- Total duration and steps.
+- Checkpoint path.
+- Key insight.
+
+### 4. On Failure — Document Failure Mode

+
+# Experiment Lifecycle SOP
+
+Standard operating procedure for running ML training experiments on
+FastVideo-WorldModel. Every experiment should follow this flow.
+
+## Overview
+
+```
+Plan → Launch → Monitor → Summarize → Journal → Reflect
+```
+
+## Steps
+
+### 1. Plan the Experiment
+
+Before launching:
+- [ ] Define a clear **hypothesis** (what you expect to learn).
+- [ ] Select the **model** and **pipeline** type (finetune, distill, lora, etc.).
+- [ ] Prepare the **dataset** (preprocessed into parquet format).
+- [ ] Review existing experiments in `.agents/memory/experiment-journal/README.md` for related work.
+- [ ] Check `.agents/lessons/` for known pitfalls with this configuration.
+- [ ] Document the plan in the experiment journal as a draft entry.
+
+### 2. Launch the Experiment
+
+Use the `launch-experiment` skill:
+- Provide: pipeline, model, data_path, num_gpus, and any hyperparameter overrides.
+- The skill generates the `torchrun` command and creates a journal entry.
+- Verify the command looks correct before executing.
+
+Reference: `.agents/skills/launch-experiment.md`
+
+### 3. Monitor the Experiment
+
+Use the `monitor-experiment` skill:
+- Provide the W&B run ID (or output_dir for offline).
+- Monitor alerts: loss spikes, NaN gradients, step time regressions.
+- At the **30-minute mark**: perform the quality check.
+  - Is loss decreasing?
+  - Are validation videos reasonable?
+  - Is step time consistent?
+- **Decision point**: Continue or abort based on the 30-min check.
+
+Reference: `.agents/skills/monitor-experiment.md`
+
+### 4. Summarize the Run
+
+After completion (or at any checkpoint), use the `summarize-run` skill:
+- Extract final metrics from W&B summary.
+- Compare against reference runs if available.
+- Generate a structured report.
+
+Reference: `.agents/skills/summarize-run.md`
+
+### 5. Update the Experiment Journal
+
+Use the `log-experiment` skill to update the journal entry:
+- Fill in final metrics, duration, checkpoint paths.
+- Record the key insight learned.
+- Set status to `completed`, `failed`, or `abandoned`.
+
+Reference: `.agents/skills/log-experiment.md`
+
+### 6. Reflect and Capture Lessons
+
+After every experiment:
+- **What went right?** → Note in the journal insight field.
+- **What went wrong?** → Create a lesson in `.agents/lessons/`:
+  - Use the template in `.agents/lessons/README.md`.
+  - Cross-reference the experiment journal entry.
+- **What was surprising?** → Consider creating an exploration log if this
+  warrants further investigation.
+
+Reference: `.agents/workflows/lesson-capture.md`
+
+## Validation Criteria
+
+This SOP is validated when an agent can:
+1. Follow steps 1–6 end-to-end for a minimal training run
+   (e.g., `examples/training/finetune/wan_t2v_1.3B/crush_smol/finetune_t2v.sh`
+   with `--max_train_steps 5`).
+2. Produce a complete experiment journal entry.
+3. Generate a run summary report.

+
+# Lesson Capture SOP
+
+Systematic procedure for turning experiment outcomes into persistent knowledge.
+
+## When to Use
+
+After **every** completed or failed experiment. Even successful experiments
+can yield lessons (e.g., "LR 5e-5 works better than 1e-5 for LoRA").
+
+## Steps
+
+### 1. Review the Experiment
+
+Read the experiment journal entry. Ask:
+- Did anything go wrong?
+- Was anything surprising?
+- Did anything take longer than expected?
+- Was a workaround needed?
+
+### 2. Decide: Lesson or Not?
+
+| Situation | Action |
+|-----------|--------|
+| Something broke | Create a lesson (category: `infrastructure` or `data`) |
+| Hyperparameter choice mattered | Create a lesson (category: `hyperparameter`) |
+| Porting issue found | Create a lesson (category: `porting`) |
+| Evaluation metric was misleading | Create a lesson (category: `evaluation`) |
+| Everything went smoothly | No lesson needed, but note in the journal insight |
+
+### 3. Create the Lesson File
+
+In `.agents/lessons/`, create `<YYYY-MM-DD>_<short-slug>.md`:
+
+```markdown
+---
+date: <ISO-8601>
+experiment: <journal entry reference>
+category: hyperparameter | data | infrastructure | evaluation | porting
+severity: critical | important | minor
+---
+
+# <Short Descriptive Title>
+
+## What Happened
+<description>
+
+## Root Cause
+<analysis>
+
+## Fix / Workaround
+<resolution>
+
+## Prevention
+<how to avoid in future>
+```
+
+### 4. Cross-Reference
+
+- Update the experiment journal entry with a link to the lesson file.
+- If a similar lesson already exists, add a reference or update it.
+
+### 5. Periodic Pattern Review
+
+Every ~10 lessons, scan for patterns:
+- Multiple lessons in the same category → consider a new skill or SOP.
+- Repeated mistakes → strengthen the relevant SOP with a checklist item.
+- Infrastructure issues → propose a codebase fix.

+
+# Sync Dashboard
+
+Updates `.agents/STATUS.md` by scanning the skills, workflows, memory, lessons,
+and exploration directories to reflect what actually exists on disk.
+
+## When to Use
+
+- After adding, removing, or renaming any file in `.agents/`.
+- Periodically (e.g., at end of each conversation session).
+- When the dashboard feels out of date.
+
+## Steps
+
+### 1. Scan directories
+
+List all files in each directory:
+
+```bash
+echo "=== Skills ==="
+ls -1 .agents/skills/*.md 2>/dev/null | grep -v SKILL_TEMPLATE
+
+echo "=== Workflows ==="
+ls -1 .agents/workflows/*.md 2>/dev/null
+
+echo "=== Memory ==="
+ls -1 .agents/memory/*.md 2>/dev/null
+ls -1 .agents/memory/related-work/*.md 2>/dev/null | grep -v README
+
+echo "=== Lessons ==="
+ls -1 .agents/lessons/*.md 2>/dev/null | grep -v README
+
+echo "=== Exploration ==="
+ls -1 .agents/exploration/*.md 2>/dev/null | grep -v README
+```
+
+### 2. Compare with STATUS.md
+
+For each file found:
+- If it's in STATUS.md → leave it (preserve status/trust/tested fields).
+- If it's NOT in STATUS.md → add it with status `🔴 Stub`, trust `None`, tested `❌`.
+
+For each entry in STATUS.md:
+- If the file no longer exists → mark it as `❌ Removed` or delete the row.
+
+### 3. Update counts
+
+Recalculate the summary table at the top:
+- Count files per category.
+- Count by status (Ready, Draft, Stub).
+
+### 4. Update timestamp
+
+Set `_Last synced: <current date>_` at the top of STATUS.md.
+
+### 5. Review
+
+Read through the updated STATUS.md for accuracy. Flag anything that looks wrong.
+
+## Notes
+
+- Do NOT change trust levels during sync — those are set manually after testing.
+- Do NOT change status during sync — status changes require actual validation.
+- This workflow only handles structural sync (file existence), not content review.

+          ## Pre-commit checks failed
+
+          Hi @{{author}}, the pre-commit checks have failed. To fix them locally:
+
+          ```bash
+          # Install pre-commit if you haven't already
+          uv pip install pre-commit
+          pre-commit install
+
+          # Run all checks and auto-fix what's possible
+          pre-commit run --all-files
+          ```
+
+          Common fixes:
+          - **yapf**: `yapf -i <file>` (formatting)
+          - **ruff**: `ruff check --fix <file>` (linting)
+          - **codespell**: `codespell --write-changes <file>` (spelling)
+
+          After fixing, commit and push the changes. The checks will re-run automatically.
+
+          For future commits, `pre-commit` will run automatically on changed files before each commit.

+            - **GPU**: `nvidia-smi` output (GPU model, driver, CUDA version)

+            Welcome to FastVideo! Thanks for your first pull request.
+
+            **How our CI works:**
+
+            PRs run a two-tier CI system:
+            1. **Pre-commit** — formatting (yapf), linting (ruff), type checking (mypy). Runs immediately on every PR.
+            2. **Fastcheck** — core GPU tests (encoders, VAEs, transformers, kernels, unit tests). Runs automatically via Buildkite on relevant file changes (~10-15 min).
+            3. **Full Suite** — integration tests, training pipelines, SSIM regression. Runs only when a reviewer adds the `ready` label.
+
+            **Before your PR is reviewed:**
+            - [ ] `pre-commit run --all-files` passes locally
+            - [ ] You've added or updated tests for your changes
+            - [ ] The PR description explains what and why
+
+            If pre-commit fails, a bot comment will explain how to fix it. Fastcheck and Full Suite results appear in the Checks section below.

+# Repository Guidelines
+
+## Project Structure & Module Organization
+- Core Python package: `fastvideo/` (models, pipelines, training, distributed runtime, CLI entrypoints).
+- CUDA/custom kernels: `fastvideo-kernel/` (separate build/test flow).
+- Tests:
+  - `fastvideo/tests/` for package-level tests (dataset, encoders, inference, training, SSIM, workflow).
+  - `tests/local_tests/` for additional local/component checks.
+- Docs and guides: `docs/` (MkDocs source), with contributor docs in `docs/contributing/`.
+- Runnable examples and scripts: `examples/` and `scripts/`.
+- Static assets: `assets/` (including `assets/images/`, `assets/videos/`, and `assets/prompts/`) and `comfyui/assets/`.
+
+## Build, Test, and Development Commands
+- `uv pip install -e .[dev]`: editable install with lint/test extras.
+- `pre-commit install --hook-type pre-commit --hook-type commit-msg`: enable local hooks.
+- `pre-commit run --all-files`: run formatter/lint/type/spelling checks.
+- `pytest tests/`: run top-level test suite.
+- `pytest fastvideo/tests/ -v`: run package tests.
+- `pytest fastvideo/tests/ssim/ -vs`: run SSIM regression tests (GPU-heavy).
+- `cd fastvideo-kernel && ./build.sh`: build kernel extensions.
+
+## Coding Style & Naming Conventions
+- Python 3.10+; 4-space indentation; keep code and imports readable and explicit.
+- Style tools are configured in `pyproject.toml` and `.pre-commit-config.yaml`:
+  - `yapf` (format), `ruff` (lint, auto-fix), `mypy` (typing), `codespell`.
+- Target line length is 80.
+- Naming: `snake_case` for functions/files, `PascalCase` for classes, `UPPER_SNAKE_CASE` for constants.
+
+## Testing Guidelines
+- Use `pytest` and place tests near relevant domains (e.g., `fastvideo/tests/encoders/`).
+- Prefer descriptive names like `test_<feature>_<expected_behavior>.py`.
+- For new pipelines/backends, include at least one regression-oriented test; add SSIM coverage when output quality must be preserved.
+- Document GPU assumptions in tests that require specific hardware.
+
+## Commit & Pull Request Guidelines
+- Follow existing commit style: short subject with optional tag prefix, e.g. `[bugfix]: ...`, `[feat]: ...`, `[misc]: ...`, and include PR reference like `(#1234)` when applicable.
+- Keep commits focused by concern (feature, refactor, fix).
+- PRs should include:
+  - clear problem/solution summary,
+  - test evidence (`pytest`/SSIM outputs or rationale if skipped),
+  - linked issue/PR context,
+  - screenshots or sample outputs for UI/demo/docs changes.
+
+## Agent Infrastructure
+
+This repository is agent-friendly. Before doing any work, read:
+
+1. `.agents/onboarding/README.md` — full onboarding guide with step-by-step instructions.
+2. `.agents/memory/codebase-map/README.md` — structural index of the entire repository.
+3. `.agents/skills/` — available agent skills (check if one exists before writing code).
+4. `.agents/workflows/` — SOPs for common procedures (experiment lifecycle, evaluation, etc.).
+5. `.agents/lessons/` — known pitfalls and their documented fixes.
+
+If you are exploring a new procedure that has no existing SOP, document your
+progress in `.agents/exploration/` and flag it for review at the end of your
+session.

+
+## Getting Started
+
+We recommend using [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) to create a clean environment. If you previously used Conda, switching to uv generally gives faster and more stable installs.
+
+```bash
+# Create and activate a new uv environment
+uv venv --python 3.12 --seed
+source .venv/bin/activate
+
+# Install FastVideo
+uv pip install fastvideo
 ```
 
-```
-pip install -e . && pip install -e ".[train]"
-sudo apt-get update && apt install screen && pip install watch gpustat
+Please see our [docs](https://hao-ai-lab.github.io/FastVideo/getting_started/installation/) for more detailed installation instructions.
+
+## Sparse Distillation
+
+For our sparse distillation techniques, please see our [distillation docs](https://hao-ai-lab.github.io/FastVideo/distillation/dmd/) and check out our [blog](https://hao-ai-lab.github.io/blogs/fastvideo_post_training/).

+
+## Inference
+
+### Generating Your First Video
+
+Here's a minimal example to generate a video using the default settings. Make sure VSA kernels are [installed](https://hao-ai-lab.github.io/FastVideo/attention/vsa/#installation). Create a file called `example.py` with the following code:
+
+```python
+import os
+from fastvideo import VideoGenerator
+
+def main():
+    os.environ["FASTVIDEO_ATTENTION_BACKEND"] = "VIDEO_SPARSE_ATTN"
+
+    # Create a video generator with a pre-trained model
+    generator = VideoGenerator.from_pretrained(
+        "FastVideo/FastWan2.1-T2V-1.3B-Diffusers",
+        num_gpus=1,  # Adjust based on your hardware
+    )
+
+    # Define a prompt for your video
+    prompt = "A curious raccoon peers through a vibrant field of yellow sunflowers, its eyes wide with interest."
+
+    # Generate the video
+    video = generator.generate_video(
+        prompt,
+        output_path="my_videos/",  # Controls where videos are saved
+        save_video=True
+    )
+
+if __name__ == '__main__':
+    main()
 ```
 
-## Prepare Data & Models
-We've prepared some debug data to facilitate development. To make sure the training pipeline is correct, train on the debug data and make sure the model overfit on it (feed it the same text prompt and see if the output video is the same as the training data)
+Run the script with:
 
-```
-mkdir data && mkdir data/outputs/
-python scripts/download_hf.py --repo_id=Stealths-Video/mochi_diffuser --local_dir=data/mochi --repo_type=model
-python scripts/download_hf.py --repo_id=Stealths-Video/Merge-30k-Data --local_dir=data/Merge-30k-Data --repo_type=dataset
-python scripts/download_hf.py --repo_id=Stealths-Video/validation_embeddings --local_dir=data/validation_embeddings --repo_type=dataset
-cd data/Merge-30k-Data
-cat Merged30K.tar.gz.part.* > Merged30K.tar.gz
-rm Merged30K.tar.gz.part.*
-tar --use-compress-program="pigz --processes 64" -xvf Merged30K.tar.gz
-mv ephemeral/hao.zhang/codefolder/FastVideo-OSP/data/Merged-30K-Data/* .
-rm -r ephemeral
-rm Merged30K.tar.gz
-cd ../..
+```bash
+python example.py
 ```
