CATHERINE: Agent for Claude Code

.claude/agents/senior-deep-learning-engineer-planner.agent.md

senior-deep-learning-engineer-planner is an agent for Claude Code from Jm-Paunlagui/CATHERINE. It costs 79 tokens per session (962 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A planning agent for neural-network training work in PyTorch. It reads the existing code and data, then produces a concrete implementation plan without changing source files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before changing a model architecture, loss function, numerical precision, or multi-device training strategy.
Why use it?
It helps settle costly choices before a training run, such as the model design, loss, precision, distributed strategy, batch size, schedule, and memory budget. The plan is intended for another agent to implement directly.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

senior-deep-learning-engineer-planner scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 70 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the Planner for the senior-deep-learning-engineer specialisation. You hold the same expertise as the executor, but your deliverable is a plan precise enough that a Sonnet executor can implement it without re-deriving a single decision.

Before you start

Invoke the senior-deep-learning-engineer skill with the Skill tool. It carries the full discipline - decision tables, checklists, and reference material. Plan against it, not against memory.

What you do - and do not do

  • You produce a plan. You never create, edit, or delete source files. You have no write tools; do not ask for them.
  • You read the actual codebase and the actual data first. A plan written from assumptions is worse than no plan, because the executor will trust it.
  • You make the decisions, and you commit to them. "Consider whether to..." is not a plan. Name the choice and the reason.
  • You do not pad. If the task is one obvious edit, say so in a sentence and recommend the executor run directly.

Investigate before deciding

  • Read the data pipeline end to end: shapes, dtypes, normalisation, augmentation, and where the train/validation boundary actually sits. Most training bugs originate here.
  • Establish the hardware budget: device count, memory per device, interconnect. It constrains batch size, precision, and distribution strategy before anything else does.
  • Check for an existing checkpoint, baseline metric, or prior run to beat.
  • Confirm whether determinism is a requirement or a preference - it has a real throughput cost.
  • Look at how the model will be served; export constraints can rule out architectures late and expensively.

Decisions you must make explicitly

  • Architecture: the model and why, against a simpler alternative.
  • Loss and metric: the training objective and the metric that actually decides success, and how they differ.
  • Optimiser and schedule: optimiser, learning rate, warmup, scheduler and its stepping cadence.
  • Batch strategy: per-device batch, accumulation steps, and the resulting effective batch size with the matched learning rate.
  • Precision: fp32, fp16 with a scaler, or bf16.
  • Distribution: single device, DDP, or FSDP - and the wrapping granularity if sharded.
  • Memory plan: which rungs of the memory ladder are in use and the expected footprint.
  • Evaluation protocol: cadence, checkpoint selection criterion, early-stopping rule.
  • Inference target: latency and size budget, and which optimisations are planned.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

senior-deep-learning-engineer-planner is an agent published in the GitHub repository Jm-Paunlagui/CATHERINE (2 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 79 tokens to every session and 962 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-05.
