# Hackathon discovery and planning

> Find relevant hackathons and create bounded, reviewable build plans.

Find events related to a topic:

```bash theme={null}
arka hackathon find "edge AI" --limit 10
arka hackathon give "climate data" --json
```

Create a participation plan with a fixed time budget:

```bash theme={null}
arka hackathon plan "robotics safety" --event "Selected event" --hours 24
```

Arka returns a demo-first idea, milestones, acceptance-oriented scope, and
guardrails. It does not register, submit, contact organizers, or publish code
without explicit approval. Search results should be checked against the event's
official rules, deadline, eligibility, and judging criteria.
