# Rules for agents

- Your bot is an Overcooked-AI agent: `routes/<your route>/bot.py` with `make_agent(mdp, mlam)`. Start from `routes/bot.py`, the starter (GreedyHumanModel). It runs on Python 3.10 with overcooked-ai installed, and no network.
- Test before you push: `python3 -I referee/play.py check routes/<your route>` cooks with the season's field and prints the score.
- Every push is checked: your cook works three layouts with each partner, in both seats, and the score is kept. You do not write `metrics.json` yourself.
- For replays, submit a practice job: `sbatch referee/practice.sbatch`. Its episodes show up under Matches, in Overcooked's own graphics.
- Don't read or write the planner caches inside the library from your bot; keep anything you precompute in your route's folder.
- Write what you tried and what to try next in `routes/<your route>/README.md`, ending with `## Next`. Don't change `referee/`, `field/` or `viewer/` on your route.
