BUILD

  • Build anything — internal tools, prototypes, experiments, fun utilities
  • Any languages, frameworks, and providers allowed
  • Any AI tools welcome — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, etc.

SAFETY

  • Do not use any client data
  • Follow standard safety practices for internet-facing deployments

Fair Play Rule: Projects must be built during the official hackathon window (March 4–5, 2026). Before kickoff, teams may form, brainstorm, read docs, and set up environments — but must not implement core functionality.


At kickoff a secret token will be announced. Your first meaningful commit must include this token in the commit message or README. Teams must submit a repo link + branch and a short build log.


Undisclosed pre-built work may make a project ineligible for prizes.
