// How to Join

Two Steps
to Get Started.

Step 1// Follow on X

// How it Works

Four Steps
to Ship & Win.

Build Your Project

Write code. Build an app, API, tool, or anything you want. Solo or team — no limits.

01

Test with TestSprite

Use TestSprite MCP to auto-generate test cases. The AI agent handles UI, API, and E2E testing.

02

Push to GitHub

Commit your project to a public repository containing a testsprite_tests/ subfolder, a README, and an optional demo video.

03

Submit on Discord

Drop your GitHub link in #hackathon-submissions and prepare to WIN!


04

Your Project Structure

// Required project structure
├── src/
│ └── your-code-here
├── testsprite_tests/ ← AI-generated test cases go here │
├── README.md ← Required: explain what you built
└── demo.mp4 ← Bonus: include a demo video

// Participant Prerequisites

The Guardrails.

Powered by TestSprite

Participants must use TestSprite MCP tool to generate their test cases. The AI agent must do the test generation — no hand-written tests.

Verified Repos

A testsprite_tests/ subfolder must exist in your GitHub repository containing all generated test cases.

Public Access

Your GitHub repository must be set to Public so judges can access it;

Clear Description

A short description or README is strictly mandatory. Explain what you built and why. Make us understand your project in 30 seconds.

Visual Proof

Optional

Demo videos included in GitHub are optional but highly encouraged. Projects with a demo will scale the leaderboard and rank higher for awards.

// How to Submit

How to Submit & Winner Contact.

Submit via Discord

Post your public GitHub repository link in the #hackathon-submissions channel on Discord. Only submissions posted here count — Twitter or other channels won't be accepted.

All submissions must be posted before the deadline. Late submissions will not be reviewed. Make sure your repo is public and your README is complete before submitting.

Winners Contacted via Discord DM

All winners will be contacted directly through Discord DM. Make sure your Discord DMs are open and check your messages constantly after the submission deadline. We won't chase — if we can't reach you, the prize moves to the next runner-up.
