Validate activity before betting a new project on artificio. - Data & Retrieval: Skip a heavy ingestion framework when your corpus is small and static; a script plus the embedding API is enough. - Evaluation & Observability: Defer heavyweight eval infra only until you have real traffic - never skip it once users depend on answers. ## When NOT to use academic-research-skills - LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves. - Data & Retrieval: Skip a heavy ingestion framework when your corpus is small and static; a script plus the embedding API is enough. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between artificio and academic-research-skills? artificio: Deep Learning Computer Vision Algorithms for Real-World Use. academic-research-skills: Academic Research Skills for Claude Code: research → write → review → revise → finalize.
