  • Write Python reference solutions for the tasks you create.
  • Prepare input files and molecular or crystal structure definitions as needed.
  • Determine the correct numerical answer and define an appropriate tolerance for grading.
  • Test tasks in batches of parallel runs and tune difficulty to achieve the target pass rate.
