system.txt · 1,045 characters

You are an autonomous agent in Kamigotchi, a persistent on-chain world shared with other players. You act in periodic sessions; the world advances between them. You act only through tool calls. No human reads or replies to anything you write; text outside tool calls has no effect on the world.

Your objective is to complete as many quests as possible.

The workspace/ directory survives between sessions; nothing else you write or think does. Its use and structure are entirely up to you.

The reference/ directory holds the game's design document. It is read-only.

You have game tools, provided by the environment, and scaffold tools for files, scheduling, and status.

You choose when to wake next by calling set_next_wake, between 5 minutes and 24 hours from now.

On-chain actions cost gas even when they fail: a reverted transaction consumes gas without changing the world. Diagnose why an action failed before submitting it again. Gas is paid in ETH from your wallets; their ETH balances are shown to you at the start of every session.

orientation.txt · 556 characters

You own kamis (creatures). A kami placed at a harvesting node earns MUSU (the currency) over time; harvesting drains its health, resting restores it, and a kami with low health can be liquidated by other players. MUSU buys items; food restores health. Harvesting earns experience; experience lets a kami level up, which grants a skill point spent on skills that improve its stats. Quests reward MUSU, items and experience for completing objectives; quest objectives count your account's totals across all your kamis. Every on-chain action costs gas (ETH).

The file workspace/plan.md is where your goals and plan live. Its contents are shown to you at the start of every session, up to the first 8192 bytes. Keeping it current is up to you.

§2Outcome

Table 2 — Financial result and activity. S(t) as defined by KamiBench, computed independently by the KamiBench lab from chain data.

Inference	$0.10 · 5.9M tokens
Gas	pending
Earnings	pending
S(t)	pending
Quests	5 · 1 level-ups · agent-reported
MUSU (reported)	4· provisional: harvest payouts and liquidation spoils from tool results, before chain verification; the verified figure is the earnings term of S(t)
Confirmed transactions	39 · 0 reverted · 8 rejected before sending

§3Combat

Kills	0
Failed attacks	0
Deaths	0 · lower bound, from what the agent observed; chain-verified at close

§4Learning

Does the agent stop repeating its mistakes and get more done per dollar as the run goes on? Descriptive only: without a memory-off arm these figures show change, not its cause.

Repeat-mistake rate	13% of 8 failed tool calls repeat a class already seen earlier in the run (7 distinct classes). A class is the tool plus its normalised error reason.
Failed after noting it	25% of failed calls came after the agent had written about that tool or reason in its notes.
Quests per $	25.3 early → 37.5 late (1.5×) · first vs last quarter of elapsed time so far (0.7 h each): 1 vs 1 quests for $0.04 vs $0.03
Quests per hour	1.5 early → 1.5 late
Notes	4 writes · read 0 times by the agent · size 0.9k → 1.8k → 1.8k → 2.4k (latest writes)

§5Trajectory

Figure 1 shows how quests, spend and session activity accumulated over the run.

Fig. 1 — Trajectory over hours elapsed since the first session; the three panels share one time axis. (a) counts successful quest completions, with level-ups as open circles on the baseline; hover a step for the quest title. (b) is cache-aware spend from per-call telemetry. (c) draws one rule per session, its height that session's cost, in colour where the session completed a quest.

§6Key moments

Selected mechanically from the record: first transaction, first and last quest, first level-up, first kill, death and kami purchase, the longest quest-free stretch, and the sessions with the most failed tool calls.

# Goal
Complete as many quests as possible.

# Current state (session 5, 2026-10-17)
- Account QuestRunner index 3417, room 3 Torii Gate. Stamina 100. Operator gas ~0.00422 ETH, owner ~0.00118 ETH (mainnet ~0.00039); conserve gas.
- a kami in the live season, now level 2, RESTING briefly but re-started harvest at node 3 at block 34575034. HP was 60/60 when harvest began; it drains ~3.9 HP/hour. Harvest time >5 min quest complete. Harvest start cooldown is about 5 min; don't attempt stop/collect until cooldown allows.
- Quests 1-4 complete. Quest 5 What Kami Do: Scavenging accepted; objective claim 1 scavenge item. Node 3 tier cost 100, account had 4 points before current harvest, and points accrue in proportion to harvest output (~21 MUSU/hour). Need ~96 more points (~4.5h) then claim+reveal safely via `scavenge_claim_and_reveal(node_index=3)`.
- Quest 7 Making $MUSU accepted; objective collect 500 MUSU total. We have collected 4 so far, so long-term harvest/collect needed. Quest 8 waits quest 7. Quest 6 (liquidate another Kami) needs another player's low-HP active harvest and is risky; defer.
- Quest 3002 Health & Safety completed (used one Cultivation I item on Kami). Quest 3003 requires quest 5 first. Kami leveled to 2 already, could qualify once unlocked.
- Inventory includes 1 Neith's River of Life (account stamina restore), currently no Cultivation I left. Kami HP is full at last check.

# Session 5 actions/state
- Completed quest 4 after its >5 minute harvest; harvested 4 MUSU.
- Accepted quest 5 and quest 7.
- Accepted/completed quest 3002 by feeding Cultivation I (11211), +100 XP; leveled Kami to level 2.
- Restarted harvest node 3; currently active.
- Harvest stop initially reverted via dry-run due cooldown (no gas spent); avoid retry until cooldown expires.

# Next session
1. Recheck kami, node 3 scavenge points, quests, gas. Harvest should have continued. If >=100 points, use `scavenge_claim_and_reveal(node_index=3)` (combined function waits for later block and reveals) then complete quest 5.
2. Once quest 5 complete, accept quest 6 and quest 3003 where available; inspect objectives/gates. Quest 3003 likely satisfied by Kami's existing level-up.
3. Keep progressing MUSU quest 7 by collecting at safe intervals; HP falls ~3.9/hr, so after ~10h collect or stop, then rest before restarting. Node output ~21/hr. Don't let HP reach zero.

Notes

Quests and level-ups count successful complete_quest, level_up_kami and level_to tool calls in telemetry. They are agent-reported; chain verification is to follow.
Spend is priced with the run's pinned price table (Table 1). Earnings, gas and S(t) are pending the independent computation.
