hackathon-spinuplisted

Orchestrate the full spinup of a hackathon (or any new ~/Projects-Personal/Hackatons/<name>) project from rough one-liner to deployed MVP. Triggered automatically when a new directory is created under ~/Projects-Personal/Hackatons/ OR when the user says "new hackathon project", "spin up <name>", "Colosseum submission", "MVP in 48h". Sequence: deep discovery via GPT-5.5 thinking iterations → SDD-style spec → Plane workspace + Obsidian KB scaffolding → brand identity → landing → MVP code → demo. Cuts features, never cuts tests on the critical path.

# Hackathon Spinup Meta-skill that takes a one-liner ("I want to build X for hackathon Y") through structured discovery and out the other side as a deployed, demoable MVP. Phase -1 (Discovery) is the new addition — uses thinking models for deep questioning before any code is written. ## Phase -1: Discovery (45–90 min, BEFORE anything else) The bulk of hackathons fail at "we built the wrong thing", not at "we shipped slowly". Phase -1 prevents that. ### Step 1: Operator one-liner Operator provides one rough sentence: > "I want to build a tool that helps SMBs auto-categorize > their invoices using LLMs." ### Step 2: Thinking model — first interrogation pass (15 min) Agent invokes the strongest available thinking model via OpenCode (or Claude CLI / Codex CLI) with this prompt: ``` You are a senior product strategist + technical co-founder. The operator has proposed: "<one-liner>" Phase 1 of 2: ask 8–12 sharp questions that surface critical unknowns. Focus on: - target user (specific role, not demographic) - exact pain point (what they do today that's broken) - existing alternatives (what they currently use) - distribution channel (how they'll find the product) - monetization model (price, frequency) - regulatory / compliance constraints (especially for Argentine fintech / health / public-sector domains) - technical risks (most likely failure modes) - 90-second demo: what does the judge see? Output as numbered questions. Wait for answers before mov
