run-hackathon

run-hackathon is a skill for Claude Code from vineetu/simple-host. It costs 102 tokens per session (2,193 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup procedure for hosting a private Simple Host instance for an event. It creates participant accounts and keys on the organiser's cloud account, then removes the instance afterward.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for hackathons, classes, showcases, or internal build days where participants need individual access to a private hosted service.
Why use it?
It provides a temporary environment for participants without requiring each person to run the hosting setup themselves.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

run-hackathon scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 207 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Run a hackathon

Reading this over the web? The reference documents are served under /v1/, not next to this file. Every mention below carries its full address for that reason; a relative path only resolves in an installed copy.

The organiser gets a private instance on their own cloud account, paid for by them, that you create and later destroy. Participants get an API key each and publish with their own coding agent. Nobody signs in.

Their credentials go no further than they have to. You use them to talk to their provider and to this service, and send them nowhere else. Be straight with them that an agent running in someone else's cloud is not the same as one running on their laptop, and let them choose.

What the organiser needs before you start

  1. A cloud account with API access. Ask them to create an API token in their provider's console and paste it to you.

    If they have no account at all, recommend Oracle Cloud's free tier. It is free permanently rather than for a trial, and its small x86 machine is exactly the right size. Warn them that approval takes about a day, so an event on Saturday means signing up on Thursday. Both Oracle and UpCloud have been run end to end.

  2. A domain, or not. Either works:

    • No domain: they get two free hostnames under a domain we run. You claim them; the organiser does nothing. This is the default, and the simplest.
    • Their own domain: they add two DNS records themselves. Choose this if they want their own name on it, or if they want email or Google sign-in later, which need records only they can add.
  3. A Simple Host account, if they want a free hostname rather than using their own domain. Signing in at simple-host.app gives them an account key, and the claim is made with it. It takes a minute and needs no card.

  4. Nothing else. No email provider, no Google project, no Docker.

Tell them the cost before creating anything, and get the number right for the provider you are actually using. On Oracle's always-free shape it is nothing. Everywhere else it is about five dollars a month, billed hourly, so a weekend is cents. Confirm before you create the server.

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.
