free-agent-finder

name: free-agent-finder description: "Finds and recommends free agents when the user needs a player, asks about the waiver wire, needs a position filled, wants to stream a pitcher, or asks 'who should I pick up'. Searches by position, compares top options, and recommends based on H2H category impact. Triggers on: 'free agent', 'waiver', 'pickup', 'pick up', 'stream', 'available', position needs like 'I need a shortstop'."

Free Agent Finder

When the user is looking for free agent pickups or waiver wire targets, follow these steps:

Step 1: Understand the League Categories

Call get_scoring_categories to know which 14 stats matter and their direction (some are reverse — lower wins).

Step 2: Assess Current Roster

Call get_my_roster to see the current team composition, stats, and any gaps.

Step 3: Identify Needs

• If the user specified a position, use that position.
• If not, call get_roster_needs to identify which positions are unfilled or weakest.
• Check memory if available: call get_category_trends to identify which categories need help, and get_watchlist to see if there are players already being tracked.

Step 4: Search Free Agents

Call get_free_agents with the target position filter. Request up to 25 results to have a good pool.

Step 5: Deep Evaluation

For the top 3-5 candidates from the free agent list, call get_player_info for each to get detailed stat breakdowns. If comparing two close options, use compare_players.

Step 6: Present Recommendations

Rank the candidates by category impact, not just total points. For each recommendation:

1. Player name and position
2. Key categories they help: Which of the 14 categories will improve?
3. Categories they might hurt: e.g., a power hitter with high B_SO (bad in a lower-wins category)
4. Ownership %: How likely is someone else to grab them?
5. Verdict: Clear recommendation on who to pick up and who to drop

For the reverse categories (B_SO, ERA, WHIP, L), remember that lower values are better. A pitcher with high K but also high ERA is a mixed bag.

Step 7: Log to Memory (if available)

• If the user decides to pick someone up, call save_roster_move with action="ADD" and the player details
• If they drop someone, call save_roster_move with action="DROP"
• If a candidate was on the watchlist, call remove_from_watchlist after pickup
• If they want to monitor someone for later, call add_to_watchlist
