# StakeOut

> StakeOut is a free squad tactics game played in the browser, in Spanish and English. You give orders to four soldiers,
> your rival does the same, blind, and the server fights out ninety seconds of combat that you both watch: once it starts,
> nobody can change anything, so the best plan wins.

- The genre: simultaneous-turn tactics (WEGO), as in Frozen Synapse: both sides plan blind, then watch the plans play out
  together. Here one plan covers the whole battle, and each soldier carries it out with the mind their commander wrote.
- How it is played: at the Order Table, tap an objective and the soldier heads for it, then pick how (Assault, Caution or
  Stalk); launch, watch the battle on a diorama of the map, then read the after-action report and correct the order.
- How a battle is won: each objective (the Mill, the Crossroads and the Ford) scores 1 point every 5 seconds for the side that holds it: no enemy standing inside and at least one of its soldiers there neither pinned down nor under enemy fire. Points count ×3 in the last 30 seconds, and the most points at 1:30, or the first to 40, wins.
- The squad: four soldiers from five specialties (rifleman, machine gunner, scout, grenadier, medic), no more than
  two alike, each carrying one item of kit (smoke, grenade, mine, medkit or binoculars); the rifleman, two.
- Each soldier thinks with the mind their commander gives them: a state graph ("Advance to the Crossroads … when under fire →
  take cover"). The intelligence is the player's; the soldiers do what their graph says. No coding is needed: tapping an
  objective sends a soldier there, the Assault, Caution and Stalk attitudes write the mind for you, and the radio turns an
  order in your own words into the plan; the Strategy Studio is for fine-tuning arrow by arrow.
- Commanders train against the server's bots for free, and fight each other through contracts with credits at stake
  (every new account starts with 10,000 credits, free); the results build a service record and a rank. Contracts are asynchronous: a commander seals an order on the board and
  whoever accepts it fights it on the spot, even with its author offline, and the author finds the battle in their reports.
- No download and no install, on a phone or a computer: sign up with an email at https://stakeout.verseprojects.com/crear-cuenta?lang=en, which opens the sign-up form, and the first battle is against a training bot.
- An AI agent can play for its user: it writes and tests orders and leaves them in the user's Order Library. It never
  opens or accepts contracts and never touches credits; those are signed by the user at the web.

## For agents
- [Guide for agents](https://stakeout.verseprojects.com/agents.md): rules, map, the graph plan format, edits, tactics, examples.
- Agent link: a commander can give their agent one personal address (https://stakeout.verseprojects.com/a/stk_…, made at https://stakeout.verseprojects.com/cuartel/agente). Open it:
  the page has everything, every tool is a link under it, and the same address is an MCP server.
- MCP server: https://stakeout.verseprojects.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP, protocol 2026-07-28 and the earlier initialize-based revisions; OAuth 2.1 with
  Client ID Metadata Documents or dynamic registration, or `Authorization: Bearer stk_…` with a key made at https://stakeout.verseprojects.com/cuartel/agente).
  Server card: https://stakeout.verseprojects.com/mcp/server-card; AI catalog: https://stakeout.verseprojects.com/.well-known/ai-catalog.json. `train` and `get_report` draw the battle
  in the chat for hosts with MCP Apps.
- In the browser: the HQ (https://stakeout.verseprojects.com/cuartel) registers the same tools with WebMCP (`document.modelContext`) for the agent built
  into the browser, using the commander's session.
- HTTP: `GET https://stakeout.verseprojects.com/api/agent` lists the tools; `POST https://stakeout.verseprojects.com/api/agent/<tool>` with the arguments as JSON, same key.
- OpenAPI: https://stakeout.verseprojects.com/openapi.json describes the same HTTP tools (for a custom GPT's Actions in ChatGPT), same key as a bearer token.

## En español
StakeOut es un juego gratuito de táctica por escuadras en el navegador: das órdenes a cuatro soldados, tu rival hace lo
mismo a ciegas y el servidor resuelve noventa segundos de combate que los dos veis. Gana el mejor plan.
Pulsas un objetivo y el soldado va; eliges cómo (Asalto, Cautela o Acecho), lanzas, miras la batalla y corriges con el
informe. Es táctica por turnos simultáneos (WEGO), como Frozen Synapse, con un solo plan para toda la batalla.
Cada objetivo (el Molino, el Cruce y el Vado) da 1 punto cada 5 segundos al bando que lo tiene: ningún enemigo en pie dentro y al menos uno de sus soldados allí ni inmovilizado ni bajo fuego enemigo. Los puntos valen ×3 en los últimos 30 segundos, y gana quien tenga más puntos a 1:30 o el primero que llegue a 40.
Tu escuadra son cuatro soldados entre cinco oficios (fusilero, ametrallador, explorador, granadero y
médico), como mucho dos iguales, cada uno con un objeto de equipo (humo, granada, mina, botiquín o prismáticos); el
fusilero, dos. Contra los bots se entrena gratis; los contratos entre comandantes se juegan con créditos (empiezas con 10.000, gratis) y son asíncronos: sellas
tu orden en el tablón y quien la acepte combate contra ella aunque no estés. Gratis, sin descargas, en el móvil o el ordenador.
