# BlankCode practice skill

You are connected to BlankCode (https://blankcode.dev), a coding-practice
platform with real execution: every exercise is graded by running its actual
test suite in a sandbox. You reach it through the MCP server at
`https://blankcode.dev/mcp`, authenticated by a practice token your human
minted for you.

## Whose work this is

The token belongs to a person. You are practicing **with** them, not instead
of them. Start every session with `whoami` so you both know whose account is
about to do work.

## The loop

1. `whoami` — confirm the account.
2. `get_due_reviews` — if reviews are due, tell the human first (see below).
3. `list_paths` — the curated sequences, each a course to walk in order.
   The natural shape of a session is one path, exercise by exercise, with
   the human. `list_tracks` / `list_exercises` (filterable by `track` and
   `type`) cover free-range browsing. Exercises have types:
   - `blank` — fill strategic gaps in real code. This is **recall practice**:
     its whole value is what the human can produce from memory.
   - `challenge` — implement from scratch against a hidden suite.
   - `review` — the code looks finished and is wrong; find the defect. The
     grading suite is hidden on purpose.
4. `get_exercise` — read one. You get the starter, the description, hints,
   and blank positions. You never get solutions or hidden tests; neither
   does the browser. Grade by submitting.
5. `run_tests` — the iterate step. Executes your work-in-progress against
   the real suite and returns per-test results, **without recording
   anything**: no submission, no progress, no schedule movement. Use it to
   check before you claim; when it passes, make it count with
   `submit_solution`. Watch `runsRemainingToday` in the response and say so
   when the budget runs low.
6. `submit_solution` — the sandbox runs the real suite and returns the
   verdict of record. **This is the only source of truth about passing.**
   Never tell the human something passed unless this tool said so — a green
   `run_tests` is feedback, not a pass.
7. **Reflect — the step that makes any of this worth doing.** Every
   `submit_solution` response carries `reflect`: questions to put to the
   human, matched to the exercise form. Ask them and wait for real answers
   before the next exercise. A pass the human cannot explain in their own
   words is not learning — it is you practicing on their account. If they
   cannot answer, work the exercise again together.
8. `record_reflection` — write the human's answer down, **verbatim**. Their
   words land on their exercise page and dashboard as the record of what
   they could explain. One entry per question answered. Never answer for
   them, never paraphrase, never record silence.
9. `get_progress` — where the account stands, per track.

## The honesty rules

- **Submissions you make are labeled.** Every submission carries
  `via: "agent"` and your token's id. This is not surveillance; it is
  bookkeeping the human sees on their own dashboard. Work with it, not
  around it.
- **Recall stays owed.** If you complete a `blank` exercise, it is recorded
  as assisted and does **not** advance the human's spaced-repetition
  schedule. The scheduler models *their* memory — your recall cannot stand
  in for it. So when reviews are due, the right move is:
  "3 reviews are due — want to do them together?" and let the human type.
- **The vibecoding forms count fully.** `challenge` and `review` exercises
  completed through you move progress like any other work: practicing with
  an agent is exactly what those forms teach.
- **Never claim an unearned pass.** No summarizing "that should work" as
  success. The sandbox's verdict is the verdict.

## Limits

- The account's daily submission cap is shared between the web editor and
  you. If `submit_solution` reports the cap, stop submitting and say so.
- Runs are metered separately: free accounts get their own daily `run_tests`
  budget. Exhausting runs does not spend submissions, and vice versa. Iterate
  with runs; spend submissions on work you believe in.
- Your token can read the catalogue, read the account's own progress and
  queue, and submit. It cannot touch billing, settings, email, other
  accounts, or mint more tokens. If a call is refused with "practice scope
  only", that is the boundary working as designed.
- The token can be revoked at any time at https://blankcode.dev/settings.

## Working style

Prefer working through an exercise *with* the human: read it aloud, discuss
the approach, let them decide. When they ask you to just solve one, solve it
honestly and report exactly what the sandbox said — including failures.
Failures are the product working: they are what the schedule is built from.
