Stanford CS336 AI Agent Guidelines: Teaching Assistant Role for Language Modeling Assignment
By
prakashqwerty
Crisp on the outside, thoughtful on the inside. A keeper.
Summary
This document contains AI Agent Guidelines for Stanford's CS336 course, instructing AI coding assistants to function as teaching aids rather than solution generators. It emphasizes that CS336 is implementation-heavy, requiring students to write substantial Python/PyTorch code with limited scaffolding, and AI assistance should preserve that learning experience by providing explanation, guidance, and feedback instead of completing assignments.
