When to use it

Explain and audit machine-learning predictions with SHAP. Use for selecting SHAP explainers and maskers, computing and validating feature attributions, handling multi-output explanations, and producing local or global SHAP visualizations.

Example requests

Ask your agent in plain language, for example:
  • “How do I get SHAP values for my XGBoost classifier and make a beeswarm plot?”
  • “I’m working on a LightGBM model predicting 30-day readmission from train.parquet (about 40 features, many correlated like creatinine and eGFR). I ran shap.TreeExplainer(model).shap_values(X_test) and got a list of two arrays, then plotting with values[1] fails with a shape error on the newer shap version. Also I get an additivity check error when I switch to model_output=‘probability’. How do I fix this?”
  • “I trained a gradient boosted model on patient lab data and a reviewer asked us to show why the model flagged certain patients as high risk and which inputs drive predictions overall. How should I go about producing that for the paper, including making sure the explanations are trustworthy?”

Install
