hackathon-event-parser

Goal

Parse a hackathon event URL to extract structured information — tracks, judging criteria, timeline, and sponsor tools — required to trigger the full devkit workflow pipeline autonomously.

This is the autonomous pipeline entry point. When a URL is provided, this skill replaces manual track description input for all downstream skills.

Trigger Conditions

Use this skill when:

• A hackathon event URL is available (Devpost, DoraHacks, Hackathon.com, MLH, or any event page)
• The team wants to run the devkit pipeline autonomously from a single input
• Track descriptions, judging criteria, or sponsor briefs must be extracted without manual copying
• Multiple tracks exist on an event page and the best-fit track must be identified
• This is always the first skill invoked in an autonomous pipeline; its output feeds hackathon-track-analyzer
