Queries regarding submission of coding challenge for LFX Spring term Mentorship 2026

[codeEvolveZenith345]

Greetings to the RISC-V community,
My name is Lakshya Saxena, a Computer Science undergraduate at Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT-A). My technical skills are Artificial Intelligence, Software Development and Technical Writing.
About two weeks ago I came across the project AI-assisted extraction of architectural parameters from RISC-V specifications, Since then I have been working on the coding challenge that was mentioned there. I have completed and reviewed it.

I am highly motivated and Interested to contribute to the community under the mentorship of experienced mentors (Ajit Dingankar (@adingank-qualcomm) and Allen Baum (@allenjbaum) ) to contribute to the RISC-V ecosystem.
Automating parameter extraction from RISC-V specs will accelerate hardware design and verification by providing developers with accurate, structured architectural data instead of manual specification parsing. This makes RISC-V more accessible to newcomers and enables better tooling for the growing open-source hardware community.

My Main query is on the format of Coding challenge submission it allows only `.doc, .docx or .pdf` 
while my submission is a git repository to keep it structured.

Please clarify it to me. I suppose a brief README in the submission file with Repository URL is best format for submission.

Best Regards,
Lakshya Saxena.

Others are providing github repositories, but the output of the LLM is a result, and any report that is produced from the github code will be the starting point. Personally, I don't see why .txt or .md wouldn't be acceptable; content is more important than format.
