## What it does

The skill works through a fantasy decision using public sources via the Firecrawl CLI. It starts by pinning down what is actually being decided: the sport, the scoring period and any league rules that could flip the answer. League context you already gave — scoring, roster, available players — gets reused, and the agent asks only for the missing piece that changes the outcome.

Then it researches: `firecrawl search "<query>" --sources web --json` for the players and scoring period, `firecrawl scrape "<url>" --json` where the passages do not settle the decision-critical facts. Team, opponent, schedule, injury or lineup status and recent playing time all get checked. For a volatile status page the skill suggests a fresh scrape with `--max-age 0`. Report timestamps are compared against game time, because a successful fetch or an undated page does not prove the status is current.

You need a `FIRECRAWL_API_KEY`; hosted Firecrawl requests will not go through without one. The hard limit is access: Firecrawl reads public sources and cannot see your league or roster, so never assume a player is yours or sits on your waiver wire. It also will not submit claims, trades or lineups, place bets or set up monitoring. The recommendation comes first with short cited reasons, followed by the assumption or unresolved status most likely to break the call and a usable alternative before lineup lock.

## When to use it
- choose between two players for this week's starting slot
- find a waiver pickup to fill a roster hole
- evaluate a trade against your league format
- pick a one-week streamer off the schedule
- decide who to keep for next season

## Example prompts

# Research a fantasy decision

1. Use the Firecrawl CLI to research the fantasy decision with current public sources. Use `firecrawl <command> --help` for supported options. Establish the decision, sport, scoring period and rules that could change the answer. Reuse league context the user supplied (scoring, roster, available players); ask only for missing context that changes the answer. Firecrawl researches public sources and has no access to the user's league or roster. Do not assume a player is on the user's roster or available on their waiver wire. For pickups, establish the available options and who would be dropped; for trades or keepers, include league format and relevant costs or picks.
2. When browsing is permitted and current evidence is still needed, run `firecrawl search "<query>" --sources web --json` for the players and scoring period, and use `firecrawl scrape "<url>" --json` where passages do not establish the decision-critical facts. Check team, opponent, schedule, injury or lineup status, and recent playing time or usage. Use a fresh scrape with `--max-age 0` for a volatile status page. Check report timestamps against game time; a successful fetch or undated page does not prove current status. Otherwise use supplied evidence and identify the current decision-critical facts it cannot establish.
