Best Practices: Competition

Use this skill to run a competition that produces usable engineering signal: isolated candidates, identical task packets, explicit judging criteria, local verification, and a bounded revision request for the selected winner.

A competition is not a roundtable. Competitors do not deliberate with one another, and the project agent does not share participant information between candidate lanes or rounds. The project agent judges the work against the codebase, skill contracts, and deterministic evidence.

Core Rule

Compete candidates are claims until checked.
