    hackathon submission gate

    Example session with this skill installed

    Audit my project for the ETHGlobal hackathon. The title is "Decentralized Autonomous Micro-Grid Energy Distribution System" and here is the repo: github.com/user/microgrid-demo.

    • Read your context and instructions
    • Compiled the hackathon submission gate

    I have audited your submission against the six-gate criteria for the ETHGlobal-style submission flow.

    Status: FAIL (Gate 3 - Form-field traps)

    Submission Gate Report

    GateStatusEvidence/Findings
    1. EligibilityPASSProject is new work; team size (1) is within limits.
    2. ArtifactsFAILRepo github.com/user/microgrid-demo is currently set to Private. Judges will see a 404.
    3. Form TrapsFAILTitle is 59 characters. Standard platform limit is 50. It will be truncated to "Decentralized Autonomous Micro-Grid Energy Distri".
    4. DeadlinePASSSubmission window closes in 4 hours (14:00 UTC).
    5. JudgingBLOCKEDNo README found in repo to map against "Technical Complexity" or "Utility" criteria.
    6. Post-SubPENDINGScreenshot confirmation needed after fixing Gate 2 and 3.

    Recommended Fixes

    • Title Adjustment: Shorten title to "Micro-Grid: Decentralized Energy Distribution" (44 characters).
    • Visibility: Toggle GitHub repository settings to Public immediately.

    Documentation: Create a README.md including a "How it works" section and a list of technologies used (Solidity, Next.js, etc.) to satisfy judging criteria.

    Next steps

    • Apply the shortened title and update repo visibility.
    • Provide the README.md content for a final Gate 5 audit.
    • Confirm your demo video link is public (YouTube/Vimeo) rather than a local file path.

    About this skill

    Submitting to a hackathon like ETHGlobal, Devpost, or Colosseum is a high-stakes moment where minor technicalities lead to instant disqualification. This skill provides a pre-flight checklist and workflow to ensure projects pass the submission form on the first try without losing the entry to character limits, broken video links, or private repositories.

    What it does

    • Eligibility verification reads hackathon rules to confirm region, age, team size, and AI disclosure requirements.
    • Artifact inventory audits repositories, READMEs, demo videos, and deployment URLs for public accessibility and quality.
    • Form-field auditing identifies character-count traps in titles and descriptions before submission.
    • Deadline management converts submission windows to local timezones and enforces early-submission workflows.
    • Judging-criteria mapping aligns the project description and README content with the specific rubric used by judges.

    How it works

    1. Provide the hackathon landing page URL or the rules and judging criteria text.
    2. The skill performs a six-gate audit covering eligibility, artifacts, form traps, deadlines, judging, and post-submission requirements.
    3. It generates a gate report identifying every PASS, FAIL, or BLOCKED status with specific evidence.
    4. It provides the exact fixes needed for any FAIL status, such as truncated titles or invalid tags.

    Frameworks & tools

    Works with submission platforms including Devpost, lablab.ai, DoraHacks, Colosseum, and ETHGlobal.

    Why this beats prompting it yourself

    Generic prompts often overlook the specific platform quirks like modal cropper failures or silent title truncation. This skill uses a structured six-gate system derived from real-world submission failures to ensure no artifact or field requirement is missed under deadline pressure.

    Use cases

    • Audit a project repo and README for hackathon readiness before the deadline.
    • Refactor a project title and description to fit specific character limits without losing impact.
    • Verify if a team meets the student or regional eligibility requirements for a specific prize track.
    • Prepare a fallback plan for video demo links when platform uploads fail.

    Known limitations

    Does not perform the actual submission or account creation. Cannot bypass platform-level server outages or late submission locks.
