Create New Programming Assignment

Assignments live in assignments/<id>/, and the website reads config.json to display them. Follow these steps to create both.

Step 1: Gather Requirements

If the user hasn't specified, ask what programming concept the assignment should cover.

📖 Read references/assignment-guide.md for guidance on difficulty, scope, and when to include starter code.

Step 2: Create the Assignment

Create assignments/<kebab-case-id>/README.md following the assignment template.
Optionally add starter code or data files to the same directory.

Step 3: Register with the Website

Use the bundled scripts — do not edit config.json manually when the scripts are available.

node .github/skills/new-assignment/scripts/update-config.js <id> "<title>" "<description>"

node .github/skills/new-assignment/scripts/add-attachment.js <id> "<display-name>" <filename> <type>

Common types: python, csv, json, txt, html.

Step 4: Verify

Confirm config.json contains the new assignment and all referenced files exist on disk.
