## What it does

The skill turns your agent into a sports statistician. Give it two players and it builds a stat-by-stat comparison, factoring in when they played, how fast the game ran and which leagues they came from. Metrics like PER or true shooting get unpacked without jargon.

Everything lives in a single `SKILL.md` with instructions and an output template: a results block, then recommendations. No scripts, no external APIs — the model does the work, so verify the numbers against official sources before you publish them. That matters if the comparison feeds into real analysis.

Install runs through `npx skills add` on Claude, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and OpenCode; GitHub Copilot uses `gh skill install` instead. MIT licensed, built by OneWave-AI.
