- Enclose clear instructions how to consume the material and how to reproduce your results.
- Prompts you made to AI coding assistants and other AI agents in a PROMPTs.md file. Separte prompts by --- and empty lines before and after each prompt.
2. **Evaluation**: Your solution will be evaluated on accuracy, efficiency and clarity.

## On the Use of AI Coding Assistants

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.

Fair, still would want it.

- Be prepared to explain every modeling decision and assumption in the interview. If you can't defend a choice the agent made, it works against you.
