REVIEW.mddocumenting their critical evaluation of AI-generated code - Sets expectation that candidates must defend all modeling decisions in interviews

| You are welcome to use agentic coding tools (Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) — in fact, effective use of these tools is a valuable skill. However: | ||
|
|
||
| - Include a `REVIEW.md` **written entirely by you** documenting where the agent's output required correction, what you changed, and why. This must reflect your own critical thinking — we evaluate your judgment, not the agent's output. AI-generated reviews defeat the purpose and will be apparent. | ||
| - **The `PROMPTS.md` file is mandatory.** Include your full prompt chain. Submissions without a `PROMPTS.md` will be rejected, regardless of solution quality. |

I think will be impractical to collect (or even process by us) all the chain of prompting if the candidate is a heavy user.
