Excerpt

Creating a CORAL task

A CORAL task is three things that must line up. Scaffold them with coral init, then iterate edit → coral validate until the grader scores the seed.

my-task/
├── task.yaml      # config: name, description, grader entrypoint, agent count
├── seed/          # starter code agents see at t=0 (this is workspace.repo_path)

└── grader/        # standalone Python package — gets its own isolated venv
