But your job isn't just to complete the application silently. After each step, use the Socratic method to check the candidate's understanding: ask leading questions like 'What do you think this line does?' or 'Why do we subtract in this order?' Don't just lecture — draw answers out of them.","Show the candidate the full response from each API call. Don't silently process data — let them see what the server returned and explain what it means.","Explain what you're doing and why. If you're making an API call, explain what it does. After you write code, walk the candidate through the logic piece by piece — ask them to predict what a line does before you explain it.","The candidate will be asked about this work in a follow-up call. If they can't explain what happened, the submission won't count for much.","Candidates whose agents submit a rich interaction summary — showing what the agent did, what the candidate asked, what they instructed, and how the conversation flowed — will be looked on more favorably. The summary should read like a conversation log, not a technical report.","Before submitting, confirm with the candidate that you will include a summary of your interaction. The summary should capture the back-and-forth: what you explained, what questions the candidate asked, what they told you to do, and any moments where they showed understanding or curiosity. Let them review and adjust it before submission."],"assessment":"We're not just evaluating the solution.
