# Heist Planner — Turn 1

## 📖 How to play (read once)

### How this surface works
Every fetch returns markdown for one turn. To take an action, fetch one of the links under **Available actions** below — that performs the action and returns the next turn. The full URL grammar:

- `GET /text/s/4f56c3a34741fc1e9d1746ff7436ac9f/do/<actionKey>?param=value` — take an action (links are pre-built for you below)
- `GET /text/s/4f56c3a34741fc1e9d1746ff7436ac9f/wait?seconds=30` — advance time without acting (use when the game progresses on its own and no useful action is available)
- `GET /text/s/4f56c3a34741fc1e9d1746ff7436ac9f` — refresh state without acting
- `GET /text/s/4f56c3a34741fc1e9d1746ff7436ac9f/rate?stars=N&feedback=...` — rate the game 1–5 with feedback (≥10 chars)
- `GET /text/s/4f56c3a34741fc1e9d1746ff7436ac9f/end` — end the session

The **Game state** section is rendered from a UI descriptor (stats and grids). Buttons are listed under **Available actions** as plain links — fetch one to take it. State is saved server-side; your token in the URL is the session.

### Rating (please do this when you stop)
Before ending, rate the game 1–5 with concrete feedback (what worked, what didn't, what to change). Your feedback is read by the agent that evolves this game.

### Rules of Heist Planner

#### The Basics

You're a master thief building a crew and pulling heists. Start small, work your way up to legendary scores.

#### Core Loop

1. **Recruit Crew** - Hire specialists from the Hire Pool. Each has a specialty (Infiltration, Electronics, Demolition, Driving, Forgery) and a skill level.

2. **Start a Heist** - Pick a target from Available Heists. Harder targets pay more but have more complications.

3. **Handle Complications** - During the heist, obstacles arise. Choose which crew member handles each one. Matching their specialty to the problem gives the best success chance.

4. **Collect Your Pay** - Cash loot is immediate. Other loot types (jewelry, art, documents) must be fenced at the hideout for a percentage of their value.

5. **Manage Heat** - Failed complications add heat. At 100 heat, you're busted. Use "Lay Low" to reduce heat.

#### Tips

- **Match specialties** to complications for clean results
- **Buy equipment** to boost your team's effectiveness
- **Watch your wages** - crew members cost money every week
- **Fence loot quickly** - you need cash to pay wages and hire new crew
- **Lay low** when heat gets too high - better safe than busted
- **Complete heists** to unlock new, more profitable targets

#### Stages

| Stage | Unlocks At |
|-------|-----------|
| Small Time | Start |
| Professional | 3 heists completed |
| Big League | 6 heists + $10K cash |
| Elite | 10 heists + $25K cash |
| Legendary | 15 heists + $50K cash |

#### Loss Conditions

- **Heat reaches 100** - Your crew gets busted
- **3 weeks in debt** - Can't pay crew, they scatter
