This skill should be used when the user asks "who should I drop", "who's safe to cut", "make room on my roster", "who's droppable", "what's my cut list", or needs to free a roster spot for an add. Ranks the user's own roster from most to least cuttable with bye-week and playoff-schedule awareness. Not for picking the incoming player (waiver-wire waiver-scan), bid amounts (waiver-wire faab-bidding), benching decisions for this week's lineup (lineup-strategy start-sit), or a combined weekly…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# 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.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add derekrbreese/fantasy-football-skills/drop-candidates@sha256:7b999288e02827bc

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260814.8c3c1c4, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
