Validate before you build
Run a gap analysis against 5,400+ past hackathon projects before you write a line of code. Takes an hour, saves three weeks.
The question that matters on day one
Has this been built before? If the answer is yes and you find out in week three, you have lost the hackathon. Colosseum ships a tool that answers it in an hour.
Setting up Colosseum Copilot
- 01Generate a Personal Access Token in Arena.
- 02Set COLOSSEUM_COPILOT_API_BASE and COLOSSEUM_COPILOT_PAT in your environment.
- 03Install the skill into Claude Code or Codex: npx skills add ColosseumOrg/colosseum-copilot
Reading the answer
- False gap: already solved, and solved well. Pivot today.
- Partial gap: solved for a different audience or on a different chain. This is usually the best position to be in.
- Full gap: nobody has tried. Ask why before celebrating; sometimes there's a reason.
