Training Guardian Agent · 训练守护智能体
一行命令,训练脚本零行改动,获得完整守护能力。
One command. Zero changes to your training script. Full guardian capabilities.
guarftrain init && guarftrain watch -- python train.py --epochs 20
What's New in v0.2.0
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
guarftrain CLI |
pip install 后全局可用,替换旧 python run.py |
guarftrain init |
自动扫描训练脚本,生成 contract.yaml |
guarftrain check |
环境自检:Python/GPU/依赖/项目结构 |
| Dashboard 远程配置 | 外部 Agent 通过 MCP 控制 Dashboard 图表/面板,用户操作受 dirty flag 保护 |
| Agent 图表推荐 | chart_selection 决策点:Agent 分析训练状态,推荐应关注的指标组 |
| MCP 委托模式 | 外部 Claude Code 连接时内置 Agent 进入 provisional 模式,决策可被覆盖 |
| 增量图表更新 | Dashboard 实时推送图表数据,不再全量重建 |
| 依赖瘦身 | 核心安装 ~2MB,torch/anthropic 按需安装 |
What does it do? · 它做什么?
| Phase · 阶段 | Capability · 能力 | How · 方式 |
|---|---|---|
| 训练前 Pre-flight | GPU 显存预估 + batch 推荐 | guarftrain preflight |
| 训练中 During | GPU+Loss 监控告警 / 崩溃自动恢复 / LLM 决策 | guarftrain watch |
| 训练后 Post | 摘要+AI 解读 / Checkpoint 分析 / 模型可视化 / 推理 | guarftrain summarize |
| 跨实验 Cross | 自然语言查询 / 实验对比 / 数据导入 | guarftrain query "best lr?" |
| 外部接入 External | MCP 35 工具 + Dashboard 远程配置 + Agent 图表推荐 | guarftrain start |
Quick Start · 快速开始
Install · 安装
# 方式 1: pip 安装(推荐,轻量核心 ~2MB,torch 已有不重装)
pip install guarftrain
# 方式 2: 从源码安装
git clone https://github.com/Washington5533/guarftrain.git
cd guarftrain
pip install .
# 按需安装可选组件
pip install guarftrain[agent] # AI 决策层 (anthropic)
pip install guarftrain[mcp] # MCP 外部 Agent 接入
pip install guarftrain[dashboard] # Web 控制面板
pip install guarftrain[full] # 全部安装
Three steps to guard · 三步守护
# 1. 初始化项目(自动扫描训练脚本,生成配置)
cd /path/to/your-project
guarftrain init
# 2. 守护训练(纯规则,零外部依赖)
guarftrain watch -- python train.py --epochs 20
# 3. 或启用 AI + Dashboard + MCP
guarftrain watch --agent --with-dashboard --with-mcp -- python train.py --epochs 20
What does the training script need? · 训练脚本要满足什么?
Four contracts (just good training hygiene):
--resume/--ckptflags for checkpoint resumptioncp_{epoch}/model.pthwithepoch/model_state_dict/optimizer_state_dict- Structured logging:
epoch {n} loss {v} val_acc {v} lr {v} - Importable:
train:build_model/train:get_dataloaders
Missing any one? Only the corresponding capability is disabled — training still runs.
四项契约(写好训练脚本的基本功),缺任一项只关对应能力,不阻断训练。
