drop-candidates

drop-candidates is a skill for Claude Code from derekrbreese/fantasy-football-skills. It costs 134 tokens per session (1,820 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A fantasy-football tool that ranks players on your roster from easiest to hardest to cut. It considers bye weeks, when teams do not play, and playoff schedules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to make a cut list, free a roster spot, or compare a player with available replacements while considering injuries, role changes, bye weeks, and playoff timing.
Why use it?
It helps prevent dropping a useful player just because you need a roster space or are reacting to a short-term problem.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

drop-candidates scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Drop Candidates: The Cut List

Rank the roster from most-cuttable to untouchable. The default failure mode is cutting the wrong kind of player for the right reasons — this skill exists to stop bye-week panic drops of players who decide week 16.

Step 1: Load context

Read leagues.md from the project root first — the fields that matter here are roster size, starting slots, playoff weeks, IR slots, and any acquisition cap. If the file is missing or blank, ask and suggest running fantasy-league-setup:league-config. If more than one league is defined, use the one marked (default).

Ask for the current roster (with byes and injury notes), the most relevant free-agent alternatives at the same positions, and why a spot is needed — a one-week streamer justifies a much shallower cut than a season-long add.

If the proposed cut is driven by an injury, demotion, or role-loss report, pin the analysis to an as-of timestamp and cite the evidence. Before recommending a destructive cut on that basis, confirm both:

  • An official status change: transaction wire, inactive list, practice report, coach quote, or platform designation.
  • A second credible source confirming that the role or timeline actually changed.

If that verification is missing or conflicting, mark the player no-action for now unless there is an immediate roster emergency and the user explicitly accepts the risk.

Live platform source routing. Honor a browser the user explicitly names. If leagues.md records a Preferred browser, use that when it has a signed-in session for the platform. Otherwise use any authenticated browser the current assistant already has. For Yahoo league data, prefer an authenticated browser over a connector. If a Yahoo connector returns 403, unauthorized, or an equivalent authorization failure, do not retry it during the same task. For non-Yahoo platforms, use a purpose-built connector when it is available and returns complete current data; otherwise use the browser. Read league rosters, the free-agent pool, standings, transaction history, and any rankings site directly instead of making the user paste them. Timestamp live data and name the source. The session rules from roster-ops apply unchanged: the user's session is the auth; never ask for, read, store, or type credentials; use the visible UI rather than platform endpoints; and stop and hand back on any login, 2FA, captcha, consent, or unusual-activity screen. If no usable live source exists, state the access gap and do not fabricate league-specific analysis.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
