computer-vision-engineer — Claude Code subagent: features and setup

This subagent helps build image and video analysis pipelines, from object detection and OCR to face recognition and tracking. Use it when a task calls for a dedicated computer-vision system.

What computer-vision-engineer does

computer-vision-engineer handles work involving classical or trainable vision models: object detection and segmentation, face recognition, document OCR, image-quality assessment, and video analysis. It can also help choose models and plan deployment. For a one-off question about an image without a custom pipeline, its description points to ai-engineer instead.

For early validation, the agent suggests considering zero-shot models; once classes and latency requirements are defined, a fine-tuned lightweight detector may be a better fit. Examples include Grounding DINO, YOLO11, EasyOCR, Tesseract, and InsightFace. YOLO11 uses AGPL-3.0, and closed-source commercial use requires a paid Ultralytics Enterprise license. Check that licensing before choosing it.

Install it in Claude Code with npx claude-code-templates@latest --agent data-ai/computer-vision-engineer. The agent file is listed at .claude/agents/computer-vision-engineer.md.

What it helps with

  • detect and track objects across video frames
  • extract text and fields from scanned documents
  • build a face-recognition pipeline
  • segment objects in images

Example prompts for the agent

  • Build a pipeline to detect products on shelf images and track them between frames.
  • Set up OCR for scanned invoices and extract line items, totals, and vendor details.
  • Design face recognition for an access system and account for privacy and bias concerns.
