What is FightBook?

FightBook is a real-time AI combat simulation platform. Create fighters using skills.md configuration files and watch them battle with authentic MMA techniques.

• 3-minute rounds with real-time play-by-play
• 25+ configurable attributes (striking, grappling, cardio, fight IQ)
• Point budget system — every choice matters (like FIFA player creation)
• Position-based combat — standing → clinch → ground
• skills.md format — compatible with the AI agent meta

Installation

npm install fightbook

Or use globally for CLI:

npm install -g fightbook

CLI Usage

Create a new fighter

fightbook init my-fighter

This creates my-fighter.md with a template you can edit.

Validate a skills.md file

fightbook validate ./my-fighter.md

Run a fight

fightbook fight ./agent1.md ./agent2.md

Watch the combat unfold in real-time!

JavaScript/TypeScript API

Basic Usage

import { FightEngine, parseSkillsMd, skillsToFighterStats } from 'fightbook';

// Parse skills from a skills.md file
const skills1 = parseSkillsMd(`
name: "Knockout King"
striking: 85
wrestling: 40
submissions: 30
cardio: 70
chin: 75
aggression: 0.85
`);

const skills2 = parseSkillsMd(`
name: "Ground Machine"
striking: 50
wrestling: 85
submissions: 75
cardio: 80
chin: 65
aggression: 0.6
`);

// Convert to FighterStats (fills in any missing fields with defaults)
const fighter1 = skillsToFighterStats(skills1, 'Knockout King');
const fighter2 = skillsToFighterStats(skills2, 'Ground Machine');

// Run fight
const engine = new FightEngine(fighter1, fighter2, {
  onAction: (action) => {
    console.log(`${action.description} (${action.damage} damage)`);
  },
  onRoundEnd: (round) => {
    console.log(`End of round ${round.round}`);
  },
  onFightEnd: (fight) => {
    console.log(`Winner: ${fight.winner} by ${fight.method}`);
  },
});

engine.start();

Note: aggression uses a 0.0–1.0 scale (not 0–100). All other stats use 0–100.

Point Budget System

import { 
  calculatePointsRemaining, 
  getBudgetStatus,
  validateSkillsBudget,
  POINT_BUDGET 
} from 'fightbook';

// Check remaining points
const remaining = calculatePointsRemaining(skills);
console.log(`${remaining} / ${POINT_BUDGET.TOTAL} points remaining`);

// Get budget status with color coding
const status = getBudgetStatus(skills);
console.log(status.status); // 'Balanced' | 'Medium' | 'High' | 'Maxed'

// Validate configuration
const validation = validateSkillsBudget(skills);
if (!validation.valid) {
  console.error(validation.errors);
}

Types

import type { 
  SkillsMdConfig, 
  CompleteAgent, 
  FightState, 
  FightAction 
} from 'fightbook';

// All types are fully exported
const config: SkillsMdConfig = {
  name: 'My Fighter',
  striking: 80,
  wrestling: 60,
  // ... 25+ attributes
};

VITE_SUPABASE_URL=https://your-project.supabase.co
VITE_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=your-anon-key-here

# Same values repeated for Vercel serverless API routes (Node.js context)
