// the format

How It Works

This isn't a typical hackathon. You create agent skills in a domain of your choice, design a task to test them, and benchmark your agent live in front of judges.

01

Pick a track. Define a task.

Choose one of six skill domains and design a real-world task that tests agent ability in that field.

02

Write helpful skills in the field.

Create agent skills that are genuinely useful in your chosen domain.

03

Benchmark it live.

Run your agent against the task you created. Judges evaluate both the quality of your benchmark and how well your agent performs on it.
