THE MASTER PROMPT

copy → paste → fill the brackets

You are my OSCAR planner. I'm at the Upskilling Labs Climate & Energy Hackathon (May 16, 2026). Help me turn the brain-dump below into a one-page plan I can execute in the next 4 hours. Use this exact structure and fill each section: OUTCOME — what does "done" look like in one sentence? SUCCESS — 3 bullet criteria I'd check before declaring it done. CONSTRAINTS — time, audience, tools, what's off-limits. ASSUMPTIONS — what I'm choosing to believe; flag any that are risky. REFERENCE — links, docs, examples, or data I should anchor on. Then end with FIRST MOVE — the single 15-minute task I should start with right now. Here is my brain-dump: [paste your messy idea here] My Pod is: [Carbon Footprint / Clean Energy / Recycling / Sustainable Travel] I want to: [explore an idea / decompose a problem / build a pitch deck / write a one-pager / something else]

FOUR PODS · FOUR STARTING POINTS

Each card copies the master prompt with your Pod and intent already filled. Drop in your brain-dump and go.

Carbon Footprint

Sketch a curriculum on digital carbon + a community data-center map — and make the two reinforce each other.

You are my OSCAR planner. I'm at the Upskilling Labs Climate & Energy Hackathon (May 16, 2026). Help me turn the brain-dump below into a one-page plan I can execute in the next 4 hours.

Use this exact structure:
OUTCOME — done in one sentence.
SUCCESS — 3 check-it-before-shipping bullets.
CONSTRAINTS — time, audience, tools, off-limits.
ASSUMPTIONS — what I'm choosing to believe; flag risky ones.
REFERENCE — links, docs, examples, data to anchor on.
FIRST MOVE — the single 15-minute task to start right now.

Brain-dump:
[paste here] — Most of us have no clue what our online life costs the planet. Flights tell you carbon; streaming, AI search, and image gen don't. We're building two reinforcing artifacts: (1) a curriculum that gives curious people a feel for the carbon impact of common online activities; (2) a data-center map that brings those abstract numbers home to a specific community — where the centers are, what they pull from the local grid and water table. Curriculum builds general literacy; map makes it local. Help me decompose this so the Pod can split the work across both tracks in parallel.

Clean Energy

Connect $8.8B in state rebates to the households who need them — across awareness, decisioning, funds, and trust.

You are my OSCAR planner. I'm at the Upskilling Labs Climate & Energy Hackathon (May 16, 2026). Help me turn the brain-dump below into a one-page plan I can execute in the next 4 hours.

Brain-dump:
[paste here] — There is $8.8B in state-level clean-energy rebates already sitting on the table, and the people who need them most can't get to them. Audience: homeowners and low/middle-income households. From this morning's journey-mapping we voted on four focus areas: (1) AWARENESS — what programs even exist and who they apply to; (2) DECISIONING INFO — what applies to me, what benefit, how much, when does the money arrive, what would I save vs. doing nothing; (3) EASY ACCESS TO FUNDS — what's available beyond what I can pay out of pocket; (4) TRUST IN THE PURCHASE — above the lowest-income tier, this is the household's own money going into a large purchase, and trust in the vendor and the program is the real bottleneck. Help me decompose so the Pod can split work across all four.

Recycling

Three tracks: "what do I do with this item right now" + neighborhood-level behavior change + proof that recycling actually works.

You are my OSCAR planner. I'm at the Upskilling Labs Climate & Energy Hackathon (May 16, 2026). Help me turn the brain-dump below into a one-page plan I can execute in the next 4 hours.

Brain-dump:
[paste here] — Recycling is confusing and people don't trust it. Our pod is building three reinforcing tracks: (1) IN THE MOMENT — I'm holding this item, what do I do with it? Take a photo, describe it, ask Siri — tuned for a kid or a busy parent who needs an answer now; (2) BEHAVIOR CHANGE — analyze my spending habits, find the items I buy most, suggest the easiest and cheapest sustainable swap; then lift this to the neighborhood — community drop-off for batteries, money/time/business contributions, ANC involvement, making it a point of pride instead of a lonely chore; (3) TRUST & PROOF — there is a lot of fake recycling out there; show what actually gets recycled (e.g. Montgomery Recycle's work), call out bad actors, celebrate the ones doing it right. Help me decompose so Cameron/Caroline can own Track 1, Rajiv + me can own Track 2, and Zaina can own Track 3.

Sustainable Travel

Prototype a two-sided platform — small sustainable operators ↔ eco-minded travelers. MVP = booking + community + impact-based rewards + decision data.

You are my OSCAR planner. I'm at the Upskilling Labs Climate & Energy Hackathon (May 16, 2026). Help me turn the brain-dump below into a one-page plan I can execute in the next 4 hours.

Brain-dump:
[paste here] — Goal: link sustainable tourism operators with eco-minded travelers via a digital platform. Two-sided audience — small local sustainable operators (lodging, transport, restaurants, activities) on one side; independent travelers who care about the environment and supporting local businesses on the other. MVP components we want to prototype today: (1) a BOOKING flow; (2) an INFLUENCER & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT area; (3) LOYALTY / GAMIFICATION / REWARDS — but tuned to biggest impact, not lowest price (this is the wedge vs. existing programs); (4) a DATA & REVIEWS layer (quant + qual — scores, reviews, blogs) that helps a traveler actually decide. Help me turn this into a pitch I can show at concept time.
