Install and run

Setup complexity: low.

clawhub skill install s17aekq8k9ea9rzxqpwjjz8ea987ze4c:xrowgmbh-gitlab-hackathon

Setup complexity is classified as HIGH. You must provision dedicated cloud infrastructure or an isolated VM. Do not run this directly on your local workstation.
Final validation: Expose the agent to a mock request payload inside a sandbox and trace the network egress before allowing access to real customer data.

Contract: missing

# GitLab Hackathon Skill

Use this skill to compete fairly in GitLab hackathons with a repeatable, evidence-based plan.
Prioritize real contributions that reviewers can merge quickly. Do not spam comments, pad commits,
mislabel issues, or close issues without a valid reason.

For GitLab operations, read and follow the `gitlab-agent` skill.

## Quick Start

1. Verify the current rules, dates, tracks, and prize requirements:
- Quarterly Hackathon: `https://contributors.gitlab.com/hackathon`
- Current hackathon API: `https://contributors.gitlab.com/api/v1/hackathons/current`
- Transcend Hackathon: `https://contributors.gitlab.com/transcend-hackathon`
- Contribution points: `https://contributors.gitlab.com/docs/user-guide#contribution-points`
2. Confirm eligibility before optimizing:
- Quarterly Hackathon scoring requires at least one qualifying merge request to be merged.
- Quarterly Hackathon MRs must be opened during the 7-day hackathon window and merged before the merge deadline.
- Transcend Hackathon cash prizes require registration and a DevPost submission; verify the current page before starting.
3. Pick work that can merge:
- Prefer quick-win issues, small bugs, documentation fixes, tests, and self-contained components.
- Prefer issues with clear reproduction, clear acceptance criteria, and recent maintainer activity.
- Avoid huge refactors, ambiguous product decisions, flaky areas, and changes that need protected-branch access.
4. Create a small qualifying MR first, then scale:
- Link every MR to an issue when possible.
- Keep each MR reviewable, tested, and easy to merge.
- Ask for review through the project workflow only after CI passes and discussions are resolved.

## Fair Winning Plan

### 1. Analyze

Build a one-page campaign brief before coding:

- Hackathon name, UTC start/end, merge deadline, prize requirements, and qualifying projects.
- Tracks and labels that matter, including `Hackathon`, `quick-win`, or Transcend-specific labels.
- Current leaderboard leaders and their scoring mix.
- Personal constraints: available time, project permissions, and trusted language/tooling areas.

Useful commands:

```bash
curl -sS https://contributors.gitlab.com/api/v1/hackathons/current | jq .
glab api '/projects/:fullpath/issues?labels=quick-win&state=opened&per_page=50'
glab api '/merge_requests?state=opened&scope=created_by_me&per_page=100'
```

### 2. Qualify

Secure at least one merged MR early. This unlocks scoring for the Quarterly Hackathon and reduces
the risk of finishing with zero points.

- Choose a low-risk issue with a maintainer-friend

## Description:

Plan and execute fair GitLab hackathon participation, including Quarterly and Transcend Hackathons, by analyzing rules, selecting qualifying issues/MRs, tracking scoring levers, and keeping an exploit watchlist.

This skill is ready for commercial/non-commercial use.

## Publisher:

[xrowgmbh](https://clawhub.ai/user/xrowgmbh)

### License/Terms of Use:

MIT-0

## Use Case:

GitLab contributors use this skill to plan eligible hackathon contributions, prioritize reviewable merge requests, and check scoring and submission requirements while avoiding rule abuse.

### Deployment Geography for Use:

Global

## Known Risks and Mitigations:

Risk: GitLab actions can modify public projects or affect hackathon scoring.

Mitigation: Use a least-privilege GitLab token and review merge requests, comments, labels, closures, and submissions before taking action.

Risk: Outdated rules or ineligible activity can invalidate planned contributions.

Mitigation: Check current event rules, dates, eligibility, and prize submission requirements against official GitLab pages before acting.
