README excerpt
# Metagame An evidence-grounded hackathon strategist. Metagame indexes 176 real hackathons and their 412 verified winning projects, distills them into 23 named winning patterns, and ships that knowledge in three forms: an agent skill, an MCP server, and a web app that reads your brief and shows you what already won. Paste a hackathon brief and Metagame retrieves the most analogous past events, the patterns their winners exploited, and the precedent winners you can cite. Or flip it around: give it your pitch and it critiques it checklist-style against the patterns. ## Repo layout | Path | What it is | |------|------------| | `data/` | The canonical dataset: `events.json` (176 events, 412 winners), `patterns.json` (23 patterns with evidence), `patterns.md` (prose), `validate.mjs` (integrity checker), `parts/` (build sources) | | `skill/hack-ideas/` | The agent-agnostic skill: `SKILL.md` for skills-capable agents, `PROMPT.md` fully self-contained for any LLM, plus the dataset and reference docs | | `mcp/` | `metagame-mcp`, a TypeScript MCP server exposing 5 retrieval tools over the dataset (no LLM calls). Bundles the full dataset as fixtures so the published package works standalone | | `web/` | Next.js app: hero landing page, `/brief` (paste a brief), `/results` (ideas with receipts), `/winners` (explorer over all 412 winners), `/skill` (install the skill) | | `docs/prototypes/` | Design prototypes preserved from development (`style-explorer.html`) | ## Run each piece ###
