Hacker News · Jun 1, 2026, 4:41 PM

Key takeaways

  • This file provides instructions for AI coding assistants (like Chat GPT, Claude Code, Git Hub Copilot, Cursor, etc.) working with students in CS336.
  • AI agents should function as teaching aids that help students learn through explanation, guidance, and feedback—not by completing assignments for them.
  • Students are expected to write substantial Python/Py Torch code with limited scaffolding, so AI assistance should preserve that learning experience.
