| # Instructions for AI agents |
|
|
| This repository is a submission to the Protostar Challenge: Climate Risk Intelligence. Follow these rules in every task. |
|
|
| ## Data rule (never break it) |
|
|
| - Forecasts are made as of 2018-12-31. Weather data used as a forecast input must be dated on or before 2018-12-31. |
| - Do not download, query or use weather observations dated 2019-01-01 or later, from any source (e.g., NOAA, Meteostat, Open-Meteo, ERA5, weather websites), nor 2019–2025 data driven by the weather (e.g., streamflow, air quality, energy demand). |
| - Set an end date of 2018-12-31 or earlier on every weather download. |
| - Never write `predicted_value` from memory or from a web search: every value must come from the code's model. |
| - If a task seems to need weather data after 2018, stop and ask a team member. |
| - Data that does not respond to the weather (e.g., census, land cover, elevation) may come from any year; record its source in `data/README.md`. |
|
|
| ## Working rules |
|
|
| - Training data: `CMU-OSPO/protostar-climate-train-to-2018` (Hugging Face). |
| - Code goes in `code/`, curated data in `data/` (described in `data/README.md`). |
| - After changing `submission.csv`, run `python code/check_submission.py`. |
| - The code must reproduce `submission.csv` without an agent (scripts or notebooks that run top to bottom). |
| - Never write tokens or credentials into any file. |
| - Summarize what you did in the README's "AI Tools and Agents" section. |
