aoi-hackathon-scout-lite

What This Skill Does

The aoi-hackathon-scout-lite is a specialized OpenClaw agent skill designed to streamline the discovery and management of hackathon opportunities, builder programs, and technical grants. Acting as a public-safe registry and filtering interface, it allows developers to quickly scan curated hackathon sources without the privacy risks associated with automated crawling or third-party API submission integrations. The skill leverages local registry files (HACKATHON_SOURCES_REGISTRY.md and HACKATHON_SHORTLIST.md) to provide accurate, offline-searchable data. It includes a built-in templating system for Notion integration, ensuring that users can transition from discovery to project management with minimal friction.

Installation

To integrate the skill into your OpenClaw environment, ensure you have the latest version of the ClawHub CLI installed. Execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/edmonddantesj/aoi-hackathon-scout-lite Once installed, verify the installation by running aoi-hackathon --help to confirm that the command hooks have been correctly registered within your shell scope.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for rapid prototyping and competitive builders. Use it to:

• Curate a shortlist of upcoming global hackathons based on personal interest or current technical trends (e.g., AI or Web3).
• Quickly filter potential opportunities by remote-work feasibility to avoid wasting time on location-restricted events.
• Generate structured documentation for your Notion workspace to track deadlines, team formation, and prize pools without manually formatting text.
• Inspect specific hackathon landing pages efficiently using the provided openclaw browser hooks.

Example Prompts

1. "aoi-hackathon sources --type web3 --online ok"
2. "aoi-hackathon recommend --n 3"
3. "aoi-hackathon template"

Tips & Limitations

• Tip: Keep your local context/HACKATHON_SHORTLIST.md updated to ensure the recommend command remains relevant to your current project goals.
• Tip: For deeper investigation, use openclaw browser snapshot --efficient on a target hackathon URL to capture the page state for offline review without manual navigation.
• Limitation: The skill is strictly read-only regarding external submissions. It does not interface with submission forms or authenticate with platforms like Devpost or Dorahacks. It does not perform automated crawling, relying entirely on the provided registry for data integrity, which ensures maximum safety but requires manual updates to keep the registry current.
