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), or benching decisions for this week's lineup (lineup-strategy start-sit).

# 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. - A **second credible source** confirming that the role or timeline actually changed. If that verification is missing or conflicting, mark the player **no-action for now** unless there is an immediate roster emergency and the user explicitly accepts the risk. ## Step 2: Price the roster spot A bench spot is not free storage. Its value equals
