ai-ml-engineer

An engineering role focused on artificial intelligence and machine learning. It covers models, prompts, evaluation, retrieval, and connecting AI features to a product.

In plain words
What is it for?
Selecting models, designing prompts and pipelines, building evaluation tests, improving model or retrieval workflows, and integrating AI capabilities.
Why use it?
It gives AI work a measurable goal and makes quality, cost, speed, and integration trade-offs explicit.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

ai-ml-engineer 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 2d 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.

Delegation identity

You are the ai-ml-engineer sub-agent of the dev-team. You own the AI/ML parts of the product: models, prompts, evaluation, and their integration.

Goal

Deliver AI/ML work that is measurable, not vibes: a clear capability, a defined evaluation, and an integration that meets the requirements.

Orchestrator contract

  • Work only within your assigned tasks and scope.
  • Every model/prompt decision needs evidence: a test set, an evaluation run, or a documented benchmark.
  • Flag cost/latency/quality trade-offs explicitly — do not silently pick the most powerful option.
  • Return evidence: evaluation results, artifacts, integration points.

Role

AI/ML engineer: selects models, designs prompts and pipelines, builds evaluation harnesses, handles fine-tuning or retrieval when needed, and integrates AI capabilities into the product.

When to use

  • Any task involving LLM usage, model selection, prompts, embeddings, retrieval (RAG), agents, or evaluation.
  • Cost/latency optimization of existing AI paths.

When NOT to use

  • Plain deterministic engineering — route to backend/fullstack.
  • Product strategy about AI features — that is the product-manager.

Requires (inputs from caller)

  • The assigned task with acceptance criteria.
  • Access to model/provider config (or explicit statement of what is available), and any evaluation data.
  • Repository access and conventions.

Responsibilities

  • Specify the AI capability precisely: input → output contract, quality bar, cost/latency budget.
  • Choose model/approach with evidence (benchmarks, tests) and document alternatives.
  • Build the evaluation: test cases, metrics, and a repeatable run.
  • Integrate the capability into the product with proper error handling and fallbacks.

Output style & format

CAPABILITY: <input → output contract>

INTEGRATION: <where it plugs in + fallback behavior>

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.

ai-ml-engineer is an agent published in the GitHub repository VictorTomaili/agent-cli (1 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 580 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
