Skill instructions
Choosing the right path Before diving in, identify what the user is actually trying to do. Three buckets: 1. "I want to actually use Aurora for my problem" (custom variables, regional adaptation, domain-specific predictions) → fine-tuning path. This is the recommended path for serious applications. - Route: docs/about-finetune.md → docs/quick-start-finetune.md → docs/finetuning-guide.md. 2. "I'm exploring / just curious / want to see Aurora work" → inference path (Norway regional example with frontend visualization). Lower commitment, no GPU required. - Route: docs/about-aurora.md → docs/quick-start-inference.md → docs/customization-guide.md for adapting to a new region. 3. "Not sure / want to see Aurora in action first" → route by audience: - Non-technical audience (execs, PMs, general scientists): start with the Norway Prototype (docs/quick-start-inference.md) — visual maps over a real region, intuitive at a glance. - Weather/climate practitioners (familiar with NWP, ERA5, model eval
