Submit To Hackathon

What it does

When your agent uses it

• A user says submit to hackathon
• Prepare my submission
• Hackathon entry
• Write project description

Example prompts

• “submit to hackathon”
• “prepare my submission”
• “hackathon entry”
• “/submit-to-hackathon”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Check for .superstack/idea-context.md and .superstack/build-context.md. Use all available context.
2. 2If no context, interview: What did you build? What hackathon? Which track/prize?
3. 3Read references/hackathon-submission-guide.md for formatting and requirements.
4. 4Read references/judging-criteria.md to optimize for what judges look for.
5. 5Draft the project description, optimized for the specific hackathon.
6. 6Create a demo script using references/demo-video-script.md.
7. 7Write a submission HTML artifact with all content ready to copy-paste.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 38a494a. 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

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • curl
  • git

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl and git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

  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

Submit To Hackathon loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 479 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~73

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.7k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~3.4k

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

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.

Prepare and optimize a hackathon submission for a Solana project. Use when a user says "submit to hackathon", "prepare my submission", "hackathon entry", "write project description", "demo video", or "help me win the hackathon". Reads all prior phase context if available.

# This skill creates a submission artifact (HTML) with all content ready to copy-paste.
# Ask:
#   "Prepare my Colosseum hackathon submission"
#   "Help me write a hackathon project description"
#   "Create a 3-minute demo script"

# Make sure before submitting:
# 1. Demo is live (devnet OK)
solana program show <PROGRAM_ID> --url devnet  # Verify deployed

# 2. Code is on GitHub (public repo)
git remote -v  # Should show GitHub URL

# 3. README has setup instructions
head -30 README.md  # Should have Quick Start section
