- Works in 3 steps: Read every state file → Compute preserve / drop / rewrite → Emit a pivot report

What it does
Pivot is an agent skill from MAGA2010/hackathon-run. Detects a mid-build scope change and re-runs scope-knife against the new direction without losing prior progress. Use when the user says pivot, change direction, or after a flat demo; do not invoke pre-build.
Its SKILL.md is about 980 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/pivot-examples.md`).
The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user says pivot
- Change direction
- After a flat demo
- Do not invoke pre-build
Example prompts
- “Use the pivot skill to detect a mid-build scope change and re-runs scope-knife against the new direction without losing prior progress”
- “/pivot”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit de3bcfb. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Pivot loads about 981 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 385 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

pivot
A pivot is the most expensive thing a hackathon team can do. Done wrong, it costs the team 4 hours and a working demo. Done right, it saves them from shipping something nobody wants.
This skill does the minimum work needed to redirect the team without losing prior state.
Input contract
Required:
new_direction: one-sentence description of where the team is going now
Optional:
.hackathon/state/plan.json(if it exists, the pivot preserves KEEP features).hackathon/state/verify.json(last failure signatures — useful for the new plan).hackathon/state/review.json(judge feedback that triggered the pivot).hackathon/state/demo.json(current pitch — often the source of the pivot)time_remaining_minutes: integer >= 0 (default: from plan.json if present)
Execution
1. Read every state file
If .hackathon/state/ exists, read all 5 files. For each, summarize
in one line:
- plan.json: how many KEEP features, what demo_path
- verify.json: pass / fail / skipped counts, last failure signature
- review.json: overall score, fix_now count
- demo.json: duration, one_liner
- ship.json: packaging status
2. Compute preserve / drop / rewrite
For every feature in the previous plan.json:
| Previous status | Default action |
|---|---|
| KEEP + still relevant | preserve |
| KEEP + no longer relevant | cut, add to "lost" list |
| CUT or DEFER | cut (no change) |
Hard rule: at least 1 feature must survive unchanged, otherwise the pivot is actually a rewrite and the user should re-run scope-knife from scratch.
3. Emit a pivot report
Write .hackathon/artifacts/pivot-report.md with:
- the one-line summary of every prior state file
- the preserve/cut/rewrite table
- the proposed new demo_goal (one sentence)
- a recommended next-step:
hackathon run scope-knifewith the new brief
Show full SKILL.md (140 more words)Show less
Output contract
Files written:
.hackathon/artifacts/pivot-report.md(human-readable)
Like idea-clarify, this skill does NOT write to .hackathon/state/*.json.
It prepares the team to re-run scope-knife with a fresh plan.
Acceptance criteria
- Reads all 5 state files (or notes which are missing).
- Computes preserve / cut / rewrite per previous feature.
- At least 1 KEEP feature survives (otherwise refuse: "this is a rewrite, not a pivot").
-
pivot-report.mdexists and is <= 1 page.
Failure modes
| Mode | Behavior |
|---|---|
| No plan.json | Refuse: "nothing to pivot from; run scope-knife" |
| New direction is identical | Refuse: "no change; this isn't a pivot" |
| All KEEP features irrelevant | Refuse: "this is a rewrite; run scope-knife fresh" |
| Time < 30 min | Refuse: "no time to pivot safely" |
Trigger phrases (for agent intent matching)
- "pivot"
- "change direction"
- "the demo idea is wrong now"
- "judges hated it"
- "we are building the wrong thing"
- "start over but keep X"

How do I install Pivot in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add MAGA2010/hackathon-run --skill pivot -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/pivot in MAGA2010/hackathon-run) into .claude/skills/pivot in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Pivot in Codex?
Run `npx skills add MAGA2010/hackathon-run --skill pivot -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/pivot in MAGA2010/hackathon-run) into .agents/skills/pivot in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Pivot in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add MAGA2010/hackathon-run --skill pivot -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/pivot, .gemini/skills/pivot, .github/skills/pivot and .opencode/skills/pivot in your project.
What does Pivot need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Pivot is instructions for the agent only.
Does Pivot access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Pivot safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Pivot use?
Pivot is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Pivot use?
About 981 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 223 tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
