Every turn changes the state
Enemy intent, HP, Block, hand, draw order, potions, and relics create a new decision surface each turn.
Why this game fits VEDAGames
A perfect training ground for an evidence-first advisor.
Slay the Spire makes the advisor’s promises concrete: observe a changing state, reason over uncertainty, recommend one legal move, then remember the outcome.
Routes are meaningful
Map branches force trade-offs among safety, elites, shops, rests, events, and the next boss.
Choices compound
Cards, relics, gold, upgrades, and lost HP shape every later fight and cannot be evaluated in isolation.
Outcomes are visible
Predictions can be compared with the next screen, so a miss becomes a testable lesson instead of a hidden assumption.
Architecture
Three skills. One evidence loop.
VEDAGames is the product philosophy; these three skills give the system distinct responsibilities. They cooperate through durable evidence, not through untracked conversation.
Game advisor
Purpose: observe Slay the Spire, reconstruct confirmed state, identify legal actions, and advise the player.
Intention: stay watch-only, fail closed when state is missing, and log every meaningful decision and outcome.
Experience reviewer
Purpose: curate the player-facing story, evidence, accessibility, trust, and franchise consistency.
Intention: keep verified milestones separate from guesses and recommend what belongs in the public report.
Product engineer
Purpose: implement approved telemetry, reports, architecture, and site changes.
Intention: preserve scope, test the change, and wait for explicit approval before publishing or changing an approved surface.
End-to-end: Spire observes → writes evidence → MIRA reviews the user-facing result → Builder implements an approved improvement → tests verify behavior and reviewed summaries update the report → Spire uses the verified capability on the next run.
Skills
Every agent skill in the evidence loop.
The skills cover observation, supervision, watchdog recovery, automation, control, verification, and learning. Each layer turns a live screen into a checked decision, a durable record, or a safer next action.
Automation layers
TelemetryScreen evidence, floors, rewards, outcomes, and SQLite run history.
CardsDeck state, costs, upgrades, damage, block, and legal play checks.
RelicsRelic triggers and persistent modifiers carried into each recommendation.
PotionsSlots, effects, timing, discard decisions, and shop availability.
Rules engineIntent, lethal lines, thresholds, uncertainty, and regression-tested rules.
Bridge connectionHealth checks, recovery, sleep-mode detection, and fresh observations.
SupervisorCoordinates advisor, Builder, MIRA, and Product Owner boundaries without hiding uncertainty.
WatchdogDetects stale screens, stalled sessions, unsafe state drift, and recovery conditions before another action.
Run automationArms approved workflows, captures floor evidence, updates the durable ledger, and queues review.
Controller controlExplicitly armed actions, one move at a time, verified from the next screen.
Advisor outputOne evidence-bound recommendation, logged with what happened next.
VEDAGames self-training
How the orchestrator gets better by itself.
VEDAGames learns from verified outcomes, keeps uncertainty visible, and promotes a lesson only when the evidence and tests support it.
5steps in the loop
Observe
Capture a fresh screen and identify the confirmed game state.
Predict
Model legal cards, relics, potions, intent, and the safest line.
Act
Recommend or execute one explicitly authorized controller action.
Verify
Compare the next screen with the expected result and record the gap.
Learn
Turn repeatable evidence into a tested rule and a clearer next run.
Verified ledger
The loop is measured from the run record.
These totals are generated from VEDAGames’s resolved SQLite evidence when the site is built. They show what was observed, compared, and promoted; they do not claim that the model retrained itself from a single outcome.
719decisions recorded
663decisions resolved

On the next run, VEDAGames retrieves relevant verified cases, uses tested fast paths, compares prediction with outcome, and queues larger gaps for Builder without blocking the current floor.

What I Learned
A knowledge notebook, updated October 4, 2026.
Never end the turn without a verified defensive line.
In the latest Ascension 2 run, Hexaghost showed a visible 7×2 intent while Ironclad was at 0/72 HP and 0/3 energy. The run ended after End Turn with no playable card or defensive potion remaining. The next advisor check must confirm Block, incoming damage, and usable potions before ending a lethal turn.
Reconcile live state before trusting the saved run state.
The latest defeat also exposed a potion-belt mismatch during recovery. After reconnecting or waking the bridge, VEDAGames must re-read HP, energy, enemy intent, and potions before recommending the next move or carrying evidence into a new floor.
Wall time is not active play time.
Ascension 2 was stretched by bridge recovery, long pauses, and combats left open across session boundaries. Floors 9–15 were not logged, and a Guardian record remained open for 14 hours with zero turns. Future runs need explicit safe-boundary checkpoints, a timeboxed play block, and a clean close before pausing.
Verify the lethal line.
Gremlin Leader and Time Eater records show that exact enemy HP, Block, intent, status modifiers, and post-action HP must be checked before calling a line safe.
Read displayed damage once.
Displayed intent already includes visible damage modifiers. The calculator now avoids applying Vulnerable twice and checks each hit when modeling a changed attack.
Use Corruption to turn defense into tempo.
In the Darklings combat, free Skills from Corruption supported repeated Block and focused attacks; manage the revive cycle before isolating one Darkling.
Time Eater’s card counter is a resource.
The Floor 50 review observed that cheap cards can worsen the 12-card threshold; keep turns compact and preserve a safe defensive line.
Respect the Slime Boss split threshold.
The Slime Boss record required a visible damage-and-split calculation; a non-damage intent did not remove the need to verify the next turn.
Defend before an unread Nemesis status.
At Nemesis, Defend+ was chosen before the final Blood for Blood+ line because the next status effect was not confirmed.
Skip a weak reward when the deck is already redundant.
After Snecko, the visible Entrench, Wild Strike, and Clothesline offers were skipped rather than diluting the existing plan.
Runic Pyramid makes upgrade targets more valuable.
Armaments+ was preferred at Nemesis because retaining cards makes future upgrade targets persist instead of disappearing at turn end.
Calculated event risk can still cost the run’s health buffer.
The Dead Adventurer path was taken at 60/74 HP and won, but it ended at 28/74; a reward path must be weighed against boss-approach health.
Free a potion slot before buying another potion.
At the Act 3 merchant, a full potion bar blocked a purchase until an owned potion was discarded; slot pressure is part of shop planning.
Feed can increase maximum HP.
The Byrd encounter records maximum HP rising from 90 to 93; Burning Blood then restored HP after combat.
Verify the next Act screen before carrying state forward.
The Act 2 transition record showed why HP, potions, relics, and map assumptions must not be carried forward without a visible next-Act state.
Unlinked lessons stay proposed.
VEDAGames promotes a strategy only after evidence, an implementation, and a regression test; missing decision records are not silently filled in.

What I accomplished: No closing state or reward is recorded.
What I learned: No info available.
Floor 41Purchase recorded
Act 3 Merchant
What I did: Logged one resolved purchase sequence at 257 gold and 74/74 HP.
What I accomplished: Feel No Pain, True Grit, Fairy in a Bottle, and Strength Potion recorded; Liquid Bronze removed.
What I learned: Full potion slots can block a shop potion until a potion is manually discarded.
Floor 38Combat victory
Darklings
What I did: Logged 12 combat decisions, including Corruption, free defensive Skills, and focused attacks on the active Darkling.
What I accomplished: Darklings combat victory recorded; Headbutt+ acquired.
What I learned: Debuff the group, exploit Corruption’s free Skills, and avoid isolating a Darkling before the revive cycle is managed.
Floor 37Event victory
Mind Bloom
What I did: Chose “I Am War,” then recorded 16 decisions through the Mind Bloom Slime Boss fight and reward.
What I accomplished: Shovel, 50 gold, and Body Slam (upgrade not confirmed) were recorded; the combat victory was observed, but final HP was not closed.
What I learned: At 47 HP, the evidence-supported event choice favored the fight over adding two Normality curses; Body Slam (upgrade not confirmed) fit the block engine.
Floor 36Elite victory
Nemesis
What I did: Logged six decisions around the visible 15-damage intent, Defend+ mitigation, Blood for Blood+, and the final lethal sequence.
What I accomplished: Nemesis elite victory, 20 gold, and Armaments+ recorded; HP ended at 47/74 in the resolved outcome.
What I learned: Defend before committing damage against an unread Nemesis status; Armaments+ was preferred because Runic Pyramid retains upgrade targets.
Floor 35Combat victory
Darklings
What I did: Logged 14 decisions through the three-Darklings fight and reward choice.
What I accomplished: Combat victory at 46/74 HP; 20 gold, Power Potion, and Shockwave+ recorded.
What I learned: Shockwave+ was selected for immediate multi-enemy safety; a strength payoff was not confirmed, so Spot Weakness+ stayed unchosen.
Floor 34Recorded
Act 3 starting room
What I did: Inspected the visible relic options and logged two decisions rather than guessing at unread effects.
What I accomplished: Act 3 boundary at 74/74 HP; Runic Pyramid selection was player-confirmed.
What I learned: Unread relic text must be inspected before comparing options; unknown effects stay unknown.
Floor 33Boss victory
Bronze Automaton
What I did: Defeated the Act 2 boss after 28 logged decisions, then confirmed the next Act boundary.
What I accomplished: Entered Act 3 at 74/74 HP; Corruption, Liquid Bronze, and Runic Pyramid recorded.
What I learned: Keep the retained-hand plan explicit when choosing a boss relic; the final relic choice was confirmed as Runic Pyramid.
Floor 30Victory
Centurion and Mystic
What I did: Logged 10 resolved combat decisions, including Weak, Shrug It Off+, and the final damage line against Mystic.
What I accomplished: Multi-enemy victory at 45/74 HP; 52 gold, Strength Potion, and Shockwave recorded.
What I learned: Apply Weak and use block deliberately against the active attacker; Feed lethality still requires exact displayed HP.
Floor 29Victory
Snake Plant
What I did: Logged 12 decisions and finished the lethal sequence with Blood for Blood, Headbutt, and Strike before the final Blood for Blood hit.
What I accomplished: Snake Plant defeated; HP 54/74 → 51/74 after Burning Blood, 14 gold recorded, card reward unopened.
What I learned: Malleable and the 7×3 intent require a damage-versus-block calculation; a zero-cost Blood for Blood closed the final 4 HP.
Floor 28Event
Ancient Writing
What I did: Chose Simplicity from the two visible Ancient Writing options.
What I accomplished: All Strikes and Defends upgraded; HP remained 54/74.
What I learned: No decision record was written for this event; the outcome is confirmed but the rationale is not.
Floor 27Partial record
Merchant
What I did: Entered the shop at 513 gold and 35/74 HP; inventory events record Vajra, Medical Kit, Barricade, Blood Potion, and a card-form Barricade.
What I accomplished: The final purchase order and exact shop screen are not fully recorded.
What I learned: Shop telemetry must distinguish relic/card names and record each purchase or removal as it occurs.
Floor 26Chest
Treasure room
What I did: Opened the treasure room from the visible map state.
What I accomplished: Eternal Feather acquired; HP 35/74 and gold 513 recorded.
What I learned: No decision record was written for the chest; contents are confirmed only by the persisted ending state.
Floor 25Rest
Rest site
What I did: Used the rest site after the Triple Slavers fight.
What I accomplished: Healed from 13/74 to 35/74 HP; gold 438.
What I learned: No decision record was written, but the persisted state confirms healing rather than an upgrade.
Floor 24Elite victory
Triple Slavers
What I did: Completed the elite record and reached the reward state.
What I accomplished: Finished at 13/74 HP; Pantograph, 28 gold, and an unopened card reward recorded.
What I learned: The accompanying retrospective warns against lethal claims without exact enemy HP, Block, intent, and post-action HP.
Floor 23Rest
Rest site
What I did: Used the rest site after the Snecko combat.
What I accomplished: Healed from 33/74 to 55/74 HP; gold 403. Liquid Bronze removal is recorded, but its reason is not.
What I learned: Resource changes need an explicit reason alongside the item event.
Floor 22Victory
Snecko
What I did: Logged five resolved decisions through the Snecko fight, reward, and card skip.
What I accomplished: Snecko defeated; 14 gold collected, card reward skipped, and Burning Blood restored HP to 33/74.
What I learned: When the actual card offers were visible, the reward was skipped rather than adding Entrench, Wild Strike, or a redundant Clothesline.
Floor 21Partial record
Shelled Parasite
What I did: Opened mid-combat at 30/74 HP with Shelled Parasite at 14/72 HP and 6 Block; three decisions were logged.
What I accomplished: Combat outcome is marked victory; 13 gold, Fear Potion, and card offers Disarm, Combust, and Second Wind were observed, but the floor close is absent.
What I learned: Mid-combat starts must stay partial until the earlier turn sequence and closing state are captured.
Floor 20Opening state only
Spheric Guardian and Mystic
What I did: Logged the opening hand, energy 3, Mystic at 20 HP/40 Block, Spheric Guardian at 39 HP, and six decisions.
What I accomplished: No closing state is recorded; Bloodletting+ and Liquid Bronze were acquired and Duplication Potion was consumed.
What I learned: Do not promote a combat outcome when the closing state is absent; the zone-sensitive sequence remains unverified.
Floor 19Elite victory
Three Slavers
What I did: Logged 12 decisions across the connected route and elite combat; the visible continuation was chosen after weighing the shop path.
What I accomplished: Three Slavers defeated; HP 70/74 → 65/74, 30 Gold Stolen Back plus 18 gold, Duplication Potion, and Armaments+ recorded.
What I learned: Stop and reassess after Offering or a new draw; the priority target and the remaining block line must be explicit.
Floor 17Opening state only
Act 2 chest
What I did: Reached the Act 2 chest at 13/74 HP and 342 gold before opening it.
What I accomplished: No info available; chest contents and subsequent choice were not recorded.
What I learned: A safe-boundary screenshot without the opened chest cannot establish a reward.
Floor 16Boss victory
Slime Boss
What I did: Logged three recommended combat lines against the 140-HP Slime Boss, including the split-threshold damage line.
What I accomplished: Boss defeated at 13/74 HP; Offering, Liquid Bronze, and the boss-relic options were recorded, with the final relic choice unresolved in this floor record.
What I learned: A visible non-damage intent does not remove the need to verify the next turn before committing to a split-race line.
Floor 15Rest
Boss-approach rest
What I did: Used the rest site before the Act 1 boss.
What I accomplished: HP recorded at 50/74 with 216 gold; boss next confirmed.
What I learned: The safe pre-boss boundary is confirmed, but no decision rationale was recorded.
Floor 14Forge upgrade
Ominous Forge
What I did: Chose Forge at the Ominous Forge and upgraded Shrug It Off.
What I accomplished: Shrug It Off upgraded; no curse added and gold stayed at 216.
What I learned: At 28/74 HP, the resolved record favors a known defensive upgrade over an unknown relic plus Pain.
Floor 13Event victory
Dead Adventurer
What I did: Searched the Dead Adventurer event, continued after the first reward, and logged 11 decisions through the sleeping elite fight.
What I accomplished: Elite victory; HP 60/74 → 28/74, Orichalcum and Shrug It Off acquired, gold 153 → 216.
What I learned: A calculated event risk can be acceptable at 60/74 HP, but the extra fight materially reduced the run’s health buffer.
Floor 12Rest
Rest site
What I did: Reached the rest-site boundary with 153 gold and Blessing of the Forge visible.
What I accomplished: The persisted screen shows 60/74 HP; the floor summary records a completed rest.
What I learned: No decision record was written for the rest, so the choice cannot be reconstructed beyond the observed state.
Floor 11Combat victory
Normal combat
What I did: Logged six recommendations, including visible Defend/Iron Wave/Strike lines and a discard check before Headbutt.
What I accomplished: Combat victory; HP 36/74 → 38/74, gold 138 → 153, and Inflame acquired.
What I learned: Headbutt targets must come from confirmed discard choices; the final Inflame reward was player-confirmed.
