AI Agent Guidelines for CS336 at Stanford
Stanford's CS336 course has issued guidelines for AI coding assistants, instructing them to act as teaching aids by providing explanations, guidance, and feedback rather than directly completing assignments. The guidelines specify what AI agents should and should not do, emphasizing student learning and independent problem-solving.
Why it matters
These guidelines reflect a growing trend in education to integrate AI tools responsibly, addressing concerns about academic integrity and ensuring students develop core skills rather than relying solely on AI for solutions.
This file provides instructions for AI coding assistants (like ChatGPT, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, etc.) working with students in CS336.
The document is a set of clear, objective instructions for using AI tools in an educational setting, without any political or ideological slant.
