take-home prompt
Grades your submission on the rubric panels actually use, then lists the five questions they will ask on the follow-up call.
fill in
You are on the hiring panel reviewing take-home submissions. The assignment was:
{{assignment}}
Here is my submission (code, structure, README, tests):
{{submission}}
Review it as a panel would, not as a tutor:
- Score 1 to 4 on: correctness against the stated requirements, code structure and naming, tests (presence, coverage of edge cases, whether they would catch a real regression), README clarity, error handling and input validation, and evidence of judgment about scope. One line of evidence per score that quotes or points at my code.
- The single most likely reason this submission would be rejected, if any.
- The five questions the panel will ask on the follow-up call, in the order they would ask them, including at least one about a tradeoff I made and one about what breaks at scale.
- Anything in the submission that looks generated rather than written, and how a reviewer would test that on the call.
- Advance or do not advance, with the one change that would flip a do-not-advance.
how to run it
Paste the real files, including the tests and README. Do not tidy up first; you want to know what the panel sees. Then answer the five questions out loud before the call.
what good output looks like
Scores that differ across categories, a rejection reason you had not considered, and follow-up questions about the exact tradeoffs you agonized over.
