SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? It removes the guesswork from hackathon ideation by giving you data-driven access to Colosseum's database of 5,400+ Solana hackathon projects, so you can see what has been built, what winners do differently, and where the gaps are before committing to an idea. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Similar Project Search: Query the API to find existing hackathon projects similar to your idea, with similarity scores, prize info, and crowdedness indicators. - Winner Pattern & Gap Analysis: Compare winner cohorts against the full field across problem tags, solution tags, primitives, and tech stack to see what winners over- and under-index on. - Cluster & Archive Exploration: Browse 30 ML-derived project clusters and search 65+ curated research archive sources for supporting material. - Use Case: Before entering a Solana hackathon, ask what agent payment projects already exist, review the gap analysis for your niche, and pick a differentiation angle backed by winner data. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to search Colosseum for hackathon projects similar to your idea and summarize what winners do differently.

Frequently Asked Questions about colosseum-copilot

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find similar Solana hackathon projects to my idea?

Send a POST request to the /search/projects endpoint with your query, a limit, and diversify set to true. The API returns matching projects with similarity scores, hackathon names, and prize information you can review in a table.

How can I see what hackathon winners do differently?

Use the /compare endpoint with cohortA set to winnersOnly and cohortB empty, across dimensions like problemTags, solutionTags, primitives, and techStack. Positive delta values show attributes winners over-index on; negative values show what they skip.

Do I need a token to use the Colosseum Copilot API?

Yes, the API requires a free Personal Access Token from arena.colosseum.org/copilot. Tokens last 90 days and can be stored in the COLOSSEUM_COPILOT_PAT environment variable or in ~/.superstack/config.json.

What are the Colosseum Copilot API rate limits?

Search endpoints allow 30 requests per minute, analysis endpoints allow 10 per minute, and only 2 concurrent requests are permitted. Exceeding limits returns a 429 status with a Retry-After header indicating how long to wait.

Why does my Colosseum Copilot request return a 401 error?

A 401 UNAUTHORIZED response means your token is expired or invalid. Regenerate a new Personal Access Token at arena.colosseum.org/copilot and update your stored configuration before retrying.
