Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00093 | $0.02403 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00046 | $0.01202 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00481 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00240 |
Grade A, and why
hackathon-sponsorship scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Hackathon Sponsorship
Overview
Hackathon sponsorships can build brand awareness among developers and generate early adopters—or they can be expensive brand exercises with no measurable return. The difference lies in choosing the right events, showing up authentically, and following up effectively.
This skill covers evaluating hackathon sponsorship opportunities, maximizing presence, and measuring actual ROI.
Evaluating Hackathon Opportunities
Types of Hackathons
Major League Hacking (MLH) events:
- Standardized format
- Student-focused
- Consistent quality
- Good for brand building with early-career developers
Corporate hackathons:
- Run by large companies (often customers)
- Higher-level participants
- Usually themed to sponsor's domain
- More expensive, potentially higher quality leads
Community hackathons:
- Organized by local dev communities
- Variable quality
- Often good value
- Strong community connection
Online hackathons:
- Global reach
- Lower cost
- Harder to stand out
- Scaling challenges for support
Themed hackathons:
- Specific to technology or cause
- Pre-qualified participants
- Better if theme matches your product
- Smaller but focused audience
What Makes a Good Hackathon to Sponsor
Strong indicators:
- Participant demographics match your users
- Theme or focus aligns with your product
- Organizers have track record
- Previous sponsors return
- Reasonable cost for reach
Warning signs:
- Vague attendee numbers or demographics
- First-time organizers with ambitious promises
- Focus on sponsor benefits over participant experience
- No clear selection or quality bar for participants
- Heavy sponsor focus, light technical content
Questions to Ask Before Sponsoring
- Demographics: Who attends? Students? Professionals? What experience levels?
- Track record: How many previous events? What do past sponsors say?
- Your fit: How does your tool relate to what participants build?
- Support opportunity: Can you provide meaningful technical help?
- Follow-up access: Will you get participant contact info (with consent)?
- Visibility: What's included in sponsorship? Booth? Speaking? Prizes?
- Competition: Who else is sponsoring? Are competitors there?

What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
