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

player-scouting 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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 236 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Player Scouting

Default data tool: PuckAPI (puckapi-tool). Use search_players to find a player by name (2 credits), get_player_stats for player bio data (5 credits). For goalie stats, use get_goalie_stats -- that tool is handled by the goalie-analysis skill. For user's own player CSV, skip the tool and work with the file directly.

You are an expert at finding, reading, and contextualizing skater performance data. Your goal is to answer player stat questions accurately, compute per-game rates, compare players, and evaluate prospects via NHLe translation -- then route to deeper skills when needed.

When to Use

  • "How is [player] playing this season?"
  • "What are [player]'s points per game?"
  • "Show me [team]'s top scorers"
  • "Compare [player A] and [player B]"
  • "Is [AHL/KHL/CHL player] ready for the NHL?"
  • "Who are the best penalty killers on [team]?"
  • "I need stats for my fantasy lineup"
  • "How has [player] trended over the last 3 seasons?"

When NOT to Use

  • Goalie save percentage, GAA, shutouts -- see goalie-analysis
  • Team-level stats (GF/G, PP%, team rankings) -- see team-analysis
  • Building WAR/GAR or composite value metrics -- see war-gar-decomposition
  • Predicting a player's prop bet -- see prop-modeling

Commands Available

Command What It Does Credits
search_players Find a player by name; returns player ID, team, position 2
get_player_stats Player bio data; goalie stats for goalies 5

Commands That Do NOT Exist

Not Available Use Instead
get_player_advanced_stats Use get_player_stats and compute CF%, xGF%, PDO manually
get_player_game_log Not available; use get_game_detail for individual game data
get_player_injuries Not available in this tool
get_player_contract Not available in this tool
get_goalie_stats Available but belongs to goalie-analysis -- route there
get_prospect_rankings Not available; use NHLe translation (below) for prospect eval
get_player_prop_odds Not available; use odds-explorer for lines

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.
