Build + impact
Patchr core platform
Build workers on the protocol surface, not beside it.
Winning projects should make Patchr primitives visible in working software: discover work, execute safely, connect systems, and return proof that the work happened.
Protocol map
Read machine-readable routes, schemas, domains, and capability boundaries.
MCP + A2A
Expose Patchr tools and agent handoffs through standard integration surfaces.
Proof outputs
Return proof cards, evidence status, traces, and receipts from executed work.
Suggested worker tracks
Configure
Environment setup, dependency discovery, secret checks, repo onboarding.
Validate
Policy checks, build readiness, security review, schema and config verification.
Deploy
Release prep, CI/CD handoffs, infrastructure routing, rollback-ready traces.
Monitor
Telemetry triage, incident intake, service health checks, alert coordination.
Repair
Root-cause workflows, remediation plans, human-safe fixes, proof of completion.
Agent ideas
Build a production-grade engineering agent.
Start from a developer workflow that hurts today, wire it to Patchr surfaces, and submit a working agent with proof output.
Environment Configurator
Discover dependencies, services, secrets, and setup blockers, then return a ready environment plan.
Kubernetes Repair Agent
Inspect failing workloads, trace config drift, and propose scoped remediation with proof.
Security Validation Agent
Check policies, permissions, exposed secrets, and release risks before deployment.
CI/CD Deployment Agent
Prepare releases, coordinate pipeline gates, and preserve rollback-ready execution traces.
Infrastructure Cost Optimizer
Find waste, compare options, and create evidence-backed savings recommendations.
Database Migration Agent
Validate schema changes, migration order, backup readiness, and post-migration checks.
Incident Response Agent
Triage alerts, collect context, route safe actions, and close incidents with proof cards.
Prizes
Three winners. Real platform builds.
Only submissions that pass build, test, Patchr integration, and developer-impact validation enter judging.

- Solo participants or teams of up to 3.
- One project per participant or team — no exceptions.
- Maximum 3 submission attempts (only if prior attempt failed validation).
- Post a screenshot or short demo of your Patchr-powered project on Reddit and include the URL in your submission.
- Repository must be public on GitHub and contain your own original work.
- Submissions must be received before the deadline.
FAQ
Common questions.
Does my project need to be new?
Yes — projects must be original work started on or after July 10, 2026.
What counts as Patchr platform usage?
Use a Patchr SDK or the HTTP API in a working path. Stronger submissions also use protocol maps, schemas, MCP, A2A, workflow templates, or proof outputs.
Can I resubmit if my build fails?
Yes — up to 3 total submission attempts per project. Resubmissions are only allowed after a failed validation. You cannot resubmit a passing submission.
What should I post on Reddit?
A screenshot or demo GIF of your Patchr-powered project in action, with a short description. Any public subreddit works.
Who can participate?
Anyone — students, professionals, hobbyists. No geographic restrictions.
How are winners paid?
Prize details will be communicated to winners by email. Patchr will coordinate payment within 14 days of announcement.
