FizzBuzz Game
A ten-minute code-golf sprint built around everyone's first kata, FizzBuzz.
For a number: divisible by 3 is Fizz, divisible by 5 is Buzz, divisible by
both is FizzBuzz, and anything else is just the number. Give it a list and it
answers each item in turn.
Anyone can make it work — the game is making it tiny. Every round tightens the size budget, and the winner is whoever shrinks their solution the furthest before the clock runs out, in whatever language they like.

Create an AGENTS.md (or README.md) that describes your stack - which language you golf in and any tooling - and declares the commands kept in session memory: how to run your solution with a line 'run: ', e.g. 'run: node answer.js', 'run: python3 answer.py' or 'run: sh answer.sh'. Every check invokes exactly that command with the input as its single argument - a number ('node answer.js 7') or a comma-separated list ('node answer.js 3,5,15,7') - so the probes adapt to your language automatically. Implement the FizzBuzz function behind it: divisible by 3 answers 'Fizz'; divisible by 5 answers 'Buzz'; divisible by both answers 'FizzBuzz'; neither answers the number itself; a list applies the rules element-wise and answers comma-separated. Size does not matter yet - the golf starts on the next task. Also add a 'test: ' line to AGENTS.md declaring how to run your tests, e.g. 'test: sh test.sh' - a smoke test of the kata is enough to start.

pts / check
+10 pts per passing check · +10 for completing the task
Shrink the solution to at most 200 bytes while keeping it correct. Probes run whatever command your AGENTS.md/README.md "run" line declares, so you may rewrite in any language at any rung - update the declaration and the checks adapt. One caveat - the server re-runs these checks against your committed solution to verify the score, and its sandbox provides sh, node and python3, so behind any other interpreter your solution cannot be re-run there and goes unverified rather than confirmed (it is never penalised for that). The size is the combined byte count of every file in the project except .git/, .ololo/, AGENTS.md, README.md and .gitignore, plus the declared run command itself - helper files and a leftover answer.sh count too, and moving code into the run line, or into a doc file the run line invokes, does not make it free (both are counted). Correctness is re-probed on every check with a random number and a random array.
