Keep models safe and compliant. This chapter builds an alignment-safety skill to design safety policies, refusals, and evaluations that pair with your tuned models.
Goals
- Define safety policies and refusal behaviors for your domain
- Build safety/alignment datasets and tests
- Apply safety tuning or policy stacks
- Evaluate with safety-specific metrics and red-team checks
- Capture patterns in a reusable alignment skill
Lesson Progression
- Build the alignment-safety skill
- Safety policies and refusal design
- Safety data creation and tuning
- Safety evaluation and red teaming
- Capstone: safety-hardened Task API model; finalize the skill
Outcome & Method
You finish with safety policies and tests applied to your tuned model plus a reusable alignment skill.
