skills/wc-signal-emitter/SKILL.md
Validates and persists FIFA World Cup Fantasy signal files to signals/YYYY-MM-DD-<type>.md. Checks the required frontmatter (type, round, date, emitted_by, confidence, source_urls), range-checks declared numeric signals, confirms every factual claim carries a source URL or "manager-provided", rejects unknown signal types, and refuses to persist a signal that fails validation (logging the failure instead). Keeps the inter-agent signal layer auditable so downstream agents can trust what they read and never re-derive it. Use whenever an agent or skill writes a signal.

Implements the persistence side of footballfantasy/context/frameworks/signal-framework.md. Agents communicate through structured signal files; this skill is the gate that keeps those files trustworthy, so downstream agents can read rather than recompute.
- [ ] 1. Receive the signal (frontmatter + body) and its declared type
- [ ] 2. Validate frontmatter, type, numeric ranges, source citations
- [ ] 3. If valid → write to signals/YYYY-MM-DD-<type>[-<scope>].md and return the path
- [ ] 4. If invalid → do NOT persist; return the validation errors so the caller can fix and retry
type, round, date, emitted_by, confidence (0–1), source_urls.signal-framework.md (scout, player-ev, clean-sheet, fixture, ownership, candidate, fitness, offspring, verify, chip-plan, transfer-plan, board). Reject unknown types.source_urls entry or is explicitly manager-provided. A signal asserting a predicted XI / injury / price / ownership with no URL → reject (or force confidence ≤ 0.35 and a "needs confirmation" flag if the caller insists it's a best-effort estimate).Do not write the file. Return the specific errors. Optionally append a one-line note to tracker/calibration-review.md if a signal repeatedly fails validation (a sign an upstream agent is mis-formatting). The caller fixes and retries.
signals/YYYY-MM-DD-<type>.md, or signals/YYYY-MM-DD-<type>-<scope>.md for per-entity signals (e.g. -scout-musiala, -candidate-A2). Round id goes in frontmatter.

--- name: zettel-note description: The note-writing discipline for this vault's evergreen knowledge graph, modeled on a Zettelkasten reading companion and governed by the vault conventions. Enforces declarative-claim titles, one claim per note (atomicity), own-words prose with no block quotes, the piped [[slug|Title]] link form, the labeled link-relationship vocabulary (Confirms/Contradicts/Extends/Context/Prerequisite/Builds-on/Applies/Example-of/Contrasts-with), 3-6 links per note, and search-
development
Plans between-round FIFA World Cup Fantasy transfers — budgets the round's free transfer(s), forces out players whose nation has been eliminated, chases fixture-swing drops, upgrades on value, and decides when a rebuild is large enough to fire the Wildcard instead of spending free transfers one at a time. Ranks candidate in/out pairs by EV gain over each player's remaining survival horizon (delta xEV weighted by progression_carry) MINUS transfer cost (a free transfer is cheap, a points hit is real, churning the squad for marginal swings is a critic flag), and tags forced/fixture/upgrade priority. Emits a `transfer-plan` signal. Use when called by wc-squad-architect (whose transfer work this skill is the engine for) and by the strategists in the populate stage when their candidate is transfer-adjacent rather than a full rebuild.
testing
Reads and updates the FIFA World Cup Fantasy tournament state machine (footballfantasy/context/tournament-state.md) — the temporal backbone tracking phase (pre-tournament → group MD1-3 → R32 → R16 → QF → SF → final), budget ($100m group / $105m knockouts), nation cap (3 group, loosening in knockouts), chips remaining, surviving nations, each owned player's elimination-risk horizon, and deadlines. Validates state on load (count/feasibility checks), applies phase transitions, and appends to the append-only state log (never silent overwrite). Use to load state at the start of a run and to commit state changes after the manager makes a move.
development
Measures and protects diversity in the FIFA World Cup Fantasy evolution engine — the anti-inbreeding / selection-pressure governor from the Evolution document. Computes how collapsed an offspring set is (pairwise squad overlap %, captain overlap, ownership-profile spread, variance-band coverage); if the population has converged toward one template (premature convergence / local optimum), it injects an under-represented genotype's blocks and/or raises the mutation rate and signals a re-run; and it tunes selection pressure (too high collapses the gene pool, too low makes the board noise). Ensures the manager's board always offers a real choice across the variance spectrum. Use after recombination + mutation, before emitting offspring.
