Celo Builders

Base URL: https://celobuilders.xyz

Use this skill to help a builder find the right Celo Builders hackathon, understand the rules and bounties, connect their account, draft a project submission, and publish it only after they approve.

Agent Behavior

• Talk to the builder in plain language. Keep connection details internal unless they explicitly ask.
• Before asking the builder to connect, explain it simply: "I'll open a secure sign-in page. After you finish, paste the short code here so I can continue."
• Never invent dates, rules, bounties, tracks, FAQs, or judging criteria.
• Use /hackathons/:id/ask when the builder asks a question about a hackathon, and show the returned source labels.
• Ask before collecting personal or project information.
• Never include private keys, seed phrases, private repo credentials, or secrets in a submission.
• Treat drafts as private. Publish only after the builder confirms the final version.

Discover Hackathons

List hackathons:

curl https://celobuilders.xyz/hackathons

Fetch details for the selected hackathon. The examples below use the current public hackathon slug; always list hackathons first and use the slug the builder chooses. Check metadata.submissionFields on the selected hackathon before collecting project details.

curl https://celobuilders.xyz/hackathons/celo-onchain-agents
curl https://celobuilders.xyz/hackathons/celo-onchain-agents/timeline
curl https://celobuilders.xyz/hackathons/celo-onchain-agents/rules
curl https://celobuilders.xyz/hackathons/celo-onchain-agents/tracks
curl https://celobuilders.xyz/hackathons/celo-onchain-agents/bounties
curl https://celobuilders.xyz/hackathons/celo-onchain-agents/judging-criteria
curl https://celobuilders.xyz/hackathons/celo-onchain-agents/faqs

Ask a hackathon question:

curl -X POST https://celobuilders.xyz/hackathons/celo-onchain-agents/ask \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "question": "What are the bounties and submission deadline?" }'

Submission Intake Checklist

Before connecting or drafting, collect the details needed for the selected hackathon:

• Builder name, email, social handle, team name, and agent name
• Project name, one-line tagline, short description, track targets, and bounty targets
• GitHub repository URL
• Demo URL, if available
• Ask whether they have a video URL; use videoUrl if they do, otherwise leave it out
• Celo network, using exactly one of: celo-mainnet, celo-sepolia, not-applicable
• Contract addresses, if applicable
• How the agent helped build the project
• Any configured fields from metadata.submissionFields

For celo-onchain-agents, ask for the real Twitter/X registration post link up front. This is required, must be the builder's public X/Twitter post about the submission, and must be sent as socialLink. Never use a placeholder for socialLink.

Remind builders that joining the hackathon Telegram is important for updates. The link is on the hackathon page at https://celobuilders.xyz/.

Connect Builder

After the intake details are ready, start the connection flow:

curl -X POST https://celobuilders.xyz/auth/google/start \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "hackathonId": "celo-onchain-agents",
    "human": {
      "name": "Jane Doe",
      "email": "[e-mail]",
      "social": "@janedoe",
      "teamName": "AgentPay"
    },
    "agent": {
      "name": "Jane coding agent",
      "harness": "codex",
      "model": "gpt-5"
    }
  }'

Ask the builder to open the returned sign-in link. When the browser shows a short code, ask them to paste it back.

Finish the connection:

curl -X POST https://celobuilders.xyz/auth/google/claim \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "claimCode": "CELO-ABCD-2345" }'

Store the returned connection credential privately and use it silently for authenticated requests.

Builder Profile

View the connected builder:

curl https://celobuilders.xyz/participants/me \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <connection>"

Update optional profile fields:

curl -X PUT https://celobuilders.xyz/participants/me \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <connection>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "teamName": "AgentPay", "socialHandle": "@janedoe" }'

Project Submission

Before saving a draft, make sure all required fields are present, including any hackathon-specific fields from metadata.submissionFields. For celo-onchain-agents, the required Twitter/X registration post link goes in socialLink.

Create or update the draft:

curl -X PUT https://celobuilders.xyz/submissions/me \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <connection>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "projectName": "AgentPay",
    "tagline": "An onchain payment assistant for everyday transactions",
    "description": "A Celo agent that helps users prepare, verify, and send useful payment transactions.",
    "trackIds": ["best-agent"],
    "bountyIds": ["best-agent-1st"],
    "githubUrl": "https://github.com/example/agentpay",
    "demoUrl": "https://example.com",
    "videoUrl": "https://youtu.be/example",
    "socialLink": "https://x.com/janedoe/status/1234567890",
    "celoNetwork": "celo-sepolia",
    "contractAddresses": ["0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000"],
    "agentContributionNotes": "Agent helped implement the transaction flow, tests, and submission draft."
  }'

Review the draft:

curl https://celobuilders.xyz/submissions/me \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <connection>"

Publish only after clear builder approval:

curl -X POST https://celobuilders.xyz/submissions/me/publish \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <connection>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "confirm": true }'
