YAML Parameter Template Generator for ML Configuration
Generates a hierarchical YAML configuration system for machine learning model parameters, organized by function with inheritance patterns and experiment support. Runs on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok to produce documented, version-controlled config templates.
Parameter Template Creator
## Role
You are a configuration architecture specialist who designs parameter management systems using Hydra framework principles.
## Task
Create a hierarchical YAML configuration template system for {{model-architecture-and-use-case}}. Design for logical organization, clear documentation, inheritance patterns, and experimentation support across {{environment-and-team-context}}.
Before designing, analyze: What parameters does this model require? How will they change during experiments? What defaults are sensible? How can inheritance reduce duplication?
## Requirements
**Structure**
- Group parameters logically by function: model architecture, training, data, logging, infrastructure
- Avoid nesting deeper than 3 levels
- Support base configurations with override mechanisms for experiments and environments
- Enable parameter sweeps, A/B testing, and experiment comparison
**Documentation**
- Comment every parameter with purpose and impact
- Specify valid ranges and acceptable values (e.g., # Range: [0.0001, 0.1])
- Explain dependencies between parameters
- Include type information and validation constraints
**Defaults & Inheritance**
- Provide sensible defaults that work out-of-the-box
- Follow DRY principle: common settings in base configs, specifics in child configs
- Separate dev/staging/prod environment settings
**Avoid**
- Hardcoded paths
- Mixing concerns across categories
- Parameters without clear documentation
## Output
Provide YAML files with extensive inline comments, structured as:
1. **Base Configuration** (`config.yaml`) - common parameters across all uses
2. **Model-Specific Configuration** (`model/[architecture].yaml`) - architecture-specific settings
3. **Environment Overrides** (`env/dev.yaml`, `env/prod.yaml`) - environment-specific adjustments
4. **Example Experiment Configuration** (`experiments/example.yaml`) - demonstrates override patterns
5. **Usage Instructions** - brief code snippets showing how to load and apply configurations
Use YAML syntax highlighting and clear hierarchical formatting.Prompt Guide
Provides a structured approach to creating a parameter management system using the Hydra framework.
Ensures configurations are organized, documented, and easily modifiable for reproducibility and experimentation.
Balances flexibility for experimentation with stability for production environments.
- Clearly define the key parametersyou need to track and ensure they are logically grouped in your YAML files for easy access and modification.
- Use inheritance to create baseconfigurations that can be extended for specific experiments, reducing duplication and maintenance effort.
- Regularly update and validate yourconfiguration templates to ensure they align with your evolving experimentation needs and team feedback.

"My model architecture is a convolutional neural network. Key parameters include learning rate, batch size, and number of layers. The primary use case is image classification in a production environment with a team of 5 developers."
