Curious, when you do this, do you understand the math/reasoning of the paper and just have claude as do the coding? Not saying that matters if you just care about the end result, but I'm curious how much using an agent affects your understanding of what the papers are proving.

I went in with limited understanding, gained some more as the agent worked through it. What can appear complex in the paper often turns out to be far more simple and elegant once you see the code written.
