Shadow Protocol
This ultra-lite ruleset for running espionage thrillers is built on the flexible P2AXI system with a support of various settings from real history through imagined ones using statless character creation that offers unique abilities and backgrounds to create interesting spies, as well as Blades in The Dark equipment mechanic. It also comes equipped with dirt simple modular rule sets like mounting suspicion for disguises or ammo tracking; optional Top Secret-inspired luck system which allows you to get lucky at the right moment if your success relies on it! Finally a setting agnostic mission generator that can help prepare covert operations by creating unique missions from various settings.
