> Task-focused guides for reading state and safely executing supported game actions.

Markdown source of https://develop.atlas-kit-docs.pages.dev/guides/ — see https://develop.atlas-kit-docs.pages.dev/ai/ for the full machine-readable surface.

One guide per gameplay capability. Each explains the shape of the thing, the
game mechanics behind it, how to read it, which actions it supports, and the
traps worth knowing.

Start with [You](/guides/identity/) if you are new: almost every task begins by
working out whose data you are reading or changing.

## The spine

How you find anything at all.

- [You](/guides/identity/) — your wallet, profile, and character
- [Preparing wallet imports](/guides/import-onboarding/) — the accounts needed before bringing assets in-game
- [Council Rank](/guides/council-rank/) — Character progression, XP, research, and perks
- [Fleets](/guides/fleets/) — fleet state, and where a fleet actually is
- [Warp & subwarp](/guides/moving-a-fleet/) — plan, sign, execute, and refresh one move
- [Plans](/guides/plan-sequences/) — journeys that take more than one transaction
- [Starmap](/guides/world/) — systems, planets, and asteroids

## What fleets carry and do

- [Cargo](/guides/cargo/) — what a fleet holds, and why quantities are bigint
- [Mining](/guides/mining/) — extraction as a rate rather than a total
- [Combat](/guides/combat/) — combat status, loot, and the outlaw flag
- [Scanning](/guides/scanning/) — patterns, state, and derived cooldowns

## Places and production

- [Starbases](/guides/starbases/) — your own state at a starbase
- [Crafting](/guides/crafting/) — recipes and the processes that run them
- [Crafting habs](/guides/crafting-habs/) — the facility: buildings, modifiers, and rent
- [Claim stakes](/guides/claim-stakes/) — claims on bodies, their buildings and yield
- [Markets](/guides/markets/) — order books, and why prices are local

## Standing and rewards

- [Factions](/guides/factions/) — the three factions, standing, and diplomacy
- [Loyalty points](/guides/loyalty/) — points within your faction, and each epoch's ATLAS share
- [Rewards](/guides/rewards/) — versioned configuration and treasuries

## A note on entry points

Identity, world, fleets, cargo, starbases, claim stakes, mining, crafting, and
markets are composed into the root client, so `sage.fleets` and friends work.

Combat, scanning, rewards, factions, and loyalty are **capability-only**: they
are stable public entries, but you import them directly and pass the context.
Each of those guides shows the import.
