LayerX Agent Skills

Official Agent Skills for TAIKAI, the agentic hackathon platform. These skills teach AI agents (Claude, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, and any other agent that supports the skills format) how to discover hackathons, register and submit projects, and vote — end to end, via the TAIKAI MCP server.

Skills

Skill	Description
hackathon-discovery	Discover and explore hackathons, bounties, and innovation challenges hosted on TAIKAI
submit-to-hackathon	End-to-end workflow: register for a hackathon, create a project, build a team, and submit for judging
vote-on-projects	Cast votes on hackathon projects using the voting cart, including the cart → checkout → confirm flow

Install

Via the skills.sh CLI, into any supported agent:

npx skills add layerx-labs/skills

Or install a single skill:

npx skills add layerx-labs/skills@submit-to-hackathon

The skills pair with the TAIKAI MCP server. Connect your agent to https://mcp.taikai.network/mcp (hosted, OAuth handled automatically) and the tools referenced by these skills become available.

.well-known publishing

These skills are also published for automatic agent discovery at:

https://taikai.network/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json

This repo is the source of truth. The deployed artifacts (flat .md files plus an index.json with sha256 integrity hashes) are generated with:

node scripts/build-wellknown.mjs

Output goes to dist/.well-known/agent-skills/. To sync into the TAIKAI frontend repo for deployment:

node scripts/build-wellknown.mjs --out ../taikai/public/.well-known/agent-skills

CI runs the build on every push, which validates frontmatter and directory naming.

Adding a skill

1. Create skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md with name and description frontmatter. The name must match the directory name.
2. Run node scripts/build-wellknown.mjs locally to validate.
3. Open a PR. After merging, regenerate the .well-known output into the taikai repo and deploy.
