Skill
your hackathon, inside the builder's IDE
One command installs your event into Cursor, Claude Code, or any agent on the open .agents standard, aware of your sponsors, bounties, and docs.
Three ways,
your event lives on Loops
Loops turns your event into three connected surfaces: a Skill that installs directly into the builder's IDE, a Co-pilot for sponsor-grounded research in the browser, and an AI Judge that reads every submission and explains its reasoning. Sponsors get real telemetry instead of a logo on a banner, and builders skip the context-switching between docs, chat, and code. Here's each one.
Co-pilot
sponsor expertise on tap
Every sponsor's docs become a knowledge graph powering an in-browser agent. Builders ideate against real bounties and self-evaluate before submitting.
AI Judge
evaluation you can interrogate
Every project gets a structured report, what was built, how it fits the bounty, strengths and gaps with code references you can interrogate.
Skill
Your hackathon, inside the builder's IDE
One command installs the event into any AI coding agent that supports the open .agents standard. The agent learns your sponsors, bounties, docs, and judging criteria, no context-switching, no cloud IDE.
npx loopshouse add your-event-slug- ✓Works with Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, VSCode, and more.
- ✓Pulls live bounties and submission requirements into the editor.
- ✓Builders submit straight from the terminal.

Co-pilot
Sponsor expertise on tap
Every sponsor's docs and starter kits become a knowledge graph powering an in-browser AI agent. Builders ideate against real bounties and self-evaluate before they ship — without leaving the page to read documentation.
- ✓Grounded in the sponsor's actual docs, not generic answers.
- ✓Ideate against real bounty criteria.
- ✓Self-evaluate a draft before submitting.

AI Judge
Evaluation you can interrogate
Every project gets a structured report — what was built, how it fits the bounty, strengths and weaknesses. Then you cross-examine it: ask whether a team actually integrated your SDK, what's genuinely built versus pitched, and get the code references back.
- ✓Evidence-based reports, not vibes.
- ✓Ask follow-ups and get cited code in return.
- ✓Human reviewers confirm the final winners.
AI Judge
For hosts
How do I host a hackathon on Loops?
Hosting your first hackathon? Or your tenth? See the Skill, Co-pilot, and AI Judge run end-to-end against a real event — Nucleate's, Codex Community's, or yours. 30-min walkthrough, no decks.
- ✓The Skill, Co-pilot, and AI Judge on your event.
- ✓Sponsors get a knowledge graph and real telemetry.
- ✓Evidence-based judging you can interrogate.
For builders
Find your next build
Browse live hackathons and pick one that matches your stack, then run one command to install it into your own IDE. Your agent already knows the sponsors and bounties, so you can start shipping instead of reading a rules PDF.
- ✓Install the event into your own IDE.
- ✓Ideate with the sponsor Co-pilot.
- ✓Submit straight from the terminal.
