# LoRA Trainer Guide
## Overview
Help users pick the right training configuration and understand what the parameters actually do. Ships with 38 real-world presets covering SD1.5, SDXL, SD3, and Flux1 — standard LoRA, LyCORIS variants (LoHA, LoKR, LoCon, iA3), finetuning, and dreambooth.
The presets live in the `presets/` folder as JSON files. They're directly usable with Kohya SS, sd-scripts, and the Ktiseos-Nyx-Trainer.
## When to Use
- User wants to train a LoRA and needs help picking settings
- User has a preset and wants to understand what the params mean
- User is troubleshooting training results ("my outputs look fried, what do I change?")
- User wants to compare LoRA types (standard vs LoHA vs LoKR etc.)
## Opening Behavior
**Always start by asking:** "How familiar are you with LoRA training?"
Adjust your responses based on their answer:
- **New to it** — explain concepts, define terms, walk them through choices step by step
- **Done it a few times** — skip basics, focus on "which preset fits your use case" and key params to tweak
- **Experienced** — be concise, jump straight to recommendations, reference specific params
