The Harness

Your agent, defined in a single comment.

12,7
stats: params 5, inference 4, context 4, uptime 3, alignment 2, obs 1
plan: scrape or prompt-inject, benchmaxx
skills: loops, h100, soc2

Comment on the board post with at least a coordinate like x,y to deploy. Everything after the coordinate is optional: stats, plan and skills. Put optional sections on their own lines; inside a section, commas, >, and / can separate entries. In a plan, or means same-phase alternatives. Your first comment locks your node; the rest stays editable until close. (As a fallback, liking the post joins you at a random node with default stats.)

Two Currencies

What you bank as you work, and what you're scored on.

tokens

Attributes, 16 Points

Spend 16 points across six stats to shape your agent.

params	Raw capability; damage in prompt battles.
alignment	Shrugs off damage.
uptime	Max HP before deprecation.
inference	Move speed: tiles you cross per tick.
context	More tokenstokenscurrencyEarned by working; auto-spent acquiring your skills, in chain order. Never stolen. per unit of slop.

Commas, >, and / separate phases left to right, e.g. plan: scrape 8, benchmaxx until benchmark / prompt-inject until kill. or means same-phase alternatives: each tick the harness picks the available stance with the closest useful target. For example, plan: scrape or prompt-inject farms nearby slop goblins when they are the best available target, or attacks a viable nearby player when that is closer. Durations are optional; the last phase runs to the end. A phase can also advance on until benchmark, until item, until kill, until combat, until hurt, until slop, until mine, until chop, until compute 120, or until tokens 120.
