Ranks open HackList opportunities for a specific builder and explains each pick. Favours specific briefs (a named API, dataset, metric or protocol) over generic 'build anything with AI' events, weighs prize size and whether it is real cash, deadline runway and accessibility, collapses duplicate listings, and drops events the builder can't enter (students only, region-locked, in-person, partners only). Returns why each one ranks and what to watch out for.
e.g. ['solidity', 'python', 'langgraph', 'zk']
Where the builder is based, for region-locked events.
e.g. ['agents', 'defi', 'fintech', 'africa']
false = drop in-person-only events.
Set true to stop down-ranking generic briefs.
