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 | $0.00054 | $0.02918 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00022 | $0.01167 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00584 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00292 |
Grade A, and why
run-hackathon 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 today.
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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 80 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Run a hackathon on Simple Hack
Use hack_get_checklist with the event slug and role: "organiser" for current guidance; follow checklist.next and confirm any change before writing.
Open ChatGPT Plugins. Click Add, then choose Add custom MCP server. Name it Simple Hack, paste https://simple-hack.app/mcp, and save. In the sign-in window, sign in with Google or an email code, then choose Allow. In a chat, pick Simple Hack from the + menu, or just ask.
Open Claude, then Settings, then Connectors, then Browse connectors. Search for Simple Hack, choose Connect, sign in, then choose Allow. It works on web, desktop, and phone.
Hackathons, now for everyone. The organiser chooses the platform so college students, product managers, leaders and people who aren't programmers can compete with ideas. Participants describe an idea to their AI and it builds the team site. The best idea wins, not the best coder; judges use the organiser’s rubric.
Use the Simple Hack connector at https://simple-hack.app/mcp. The person signs in through the connector's trusted browser window; if the connection is unavailable, ask them to connect or reconnect it in their app. Never request, receive, read, or transmit an emailed sign-in code, API key, password, passcode, or other credential in chat. Do not use a personal account key or ask for a team key. The connector applies the current person's event role on every call. Use its tool schemas and returned URLs, names, stages, deadlines, and permissions; do not guess identifiers.
This instance's /auth.md describes its sign-in methods, connector OAuth, and selected-team publishing. Public capabilities are at /.well-known/agent-card.json.
Create and manage
- Ask for the event name, organiser and contact details, purpose, expected count, dates and time zone. Check the name with
hack_check_event_name, then create a draft withhack_create_event. Creation requested here may proceed. Report the returned event URL and stage. - Read the existing event before changing it with
hack_update_event. Registration questions, tracks, public page content, code of conduct, voting, and judging settings have dedicated connector tools. Read arrays before replacing them. A new event has a default rubric. - Ask before opening the event with
hack_set_event_stage. Share the returned join URL with participants and judge URL privately with judges. The stable public page ishttps://simple-hack.app/e/{slug}; the signed-in management page ishttps://simple-hack.app/e/{slug}/manage.
What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.
