# Prompts for the actual decisions

Use one prompt at a time with the master instructions and relevant context. Bracketed fields are intentional fill-in fields. If the assistant cannot browse, provide dated evidence and expect a conditional assessment rather than a live-market claim.

## 1. Full roster audit

> Audit my dynasty roster as of [date] against this actual league. Test my belief that I am [team direction]. Compare legal starter strength, depth resilience, future starter coverage, pick ownership and local trade demand. Identify the three constraints most limiting my objectives. Distinguish players worth keeping from players worth buying at today's price. Propose three prioritized actions, each with a realistic cost ceiling, plausible counterparty incentive, fallback and trigger for reconsideration. Rebuild the lineup after any proposed trade and identify all required cuts. Include the strongest case for doing less. Do not classify me from average age, current record or total calculator value alone.

## 2. Trade offered to me

> Evaluate the exact offer below as of [timestamp]. I send [assets]; I receive [assets]. Status: [received / hypothetical / other]. Validate ownership, pick origins, offer availability and league legality. Compare accept, decline, a specific counter, and hold. Separate football outlook, lineup impact, market evidence and value to my objectives. Show the before-and-after starters, depth, cuts, picks and contract implications. State why the other manager might prefer the deal, what I would open with, and my walk-away price. Identify the assumption most likely to reverse your verdict. Lead with a decision, not a generic player overview.

## 3. Find attainable trade targets

> Find up to [number] attainable targets for [specific roster need] using my league's rosters and current evidence. For each, name the owner, why they might trade, what they can plausibly use from me, and the supporting evidence. Separate observed asking prices and actual offers from hypothetical packages. Compare each acquisition against waivers and holding. Rank by improvement to my objective at the plausible cost, not by player quality alone. If no supported opportunity beats holding, say so. Do not invent an available seller or treat a calculator balance as acceptance.

## 4. Player thesis and market disagreement

> Research [player] as of [date]. Build separate football and market theses. Explain the relevant base rate, ability/usage evidence, job security, competition and environment. Identify the bear/base/bull paths and what would confirm or invalidate each. Compare dated, format-matched preference rankings, ADP, completed trades and local prices where accessible. State what appears priced in and whether the evidence supports a genuine disagreement or merely a source mismatch. Give buy/hold/sell boundaries for my team. Distinguish uncertainty about the player from uncertainty about the appropriate action.

## 5. Is the market overreacting?

> Investigate the reaction to [event] for [player/assets]. Establish the event date and original report. Separate what happened, the interpretation spreading, and observed price changes. Deduplicate derivative stories. Determine whether role, expected production, job security or only sentiment changed. Search for evidence against the popular interpretation and against my preferred interpretation. Use the same market source/settings before and after where possible. If historical observations are unavailable, do not invent a trend. Compare buying, selling and waiting at explicit price conditions. Name the next catalyst and the cost of waiting.

## 6. Rookie pick: use, trade, or move down

> At [pick] in this rookie draft, compare selecting now, trading for a veteran, moving up, moving down and holding until my clock is active. Verify the current board, player pool, scoring, roster space and clock. Rank candidates in tiers using current prospect evidence and NFL opportunity; label the uncertainty rather than manufacturing a precise long-term order. Account for devy depletion if applicable. For a trade-down, identify which players could remain, what would make the move fail, and a minimum return. Separate public ADP from this league's observed behavior. Give a primary choice and a contingency queue that updates when players are taken.

## 7. Startup plan

> Build a flexible startup plan for these exact rules and draft format. Identify the scarce starting requirements, relevant replacement levels and early tier breaks. Compare builds by the legal lineups and flexibility they produce. Do not force predetermined rounds for each position or treat rookie picks as known players. For an auction, track remaining budget, minimum roster costs and the changing pool; distinguish startup spending from ongoing salary obligations. Give decision rules for unexpected discounts, runs, trade offers and deviations from the plan. Update from the live room before recommending a pick or bid.

## 8. Contend, retool, or rebuild

> Determine my best policy from here, using [objective/horizon]. Test the contender case and the retool/rebuild case against the actual league. Account for record versus team strength, playoff access/byes, remaining schedule, health, future starters, original ownership of picks and market liquidity. Compare a modest repair, an aggressive push, a selective sell and holding. State the prices and evidence that justify each. If recommending a rebuild, define how it ends: target roster capabilities, asset requirements and triggers to start buying production. Do not recommend selling merely because a player is older or buying merely because I already traded my first.

## 9. Bench, taxi and waiver decisions

> Allocate my remaining [number] roster spots among [candidates] and available waivers. Distinguish immediate coverage, usable spot starts, contingent upside and speculative market appreciation. For each candidate, name the opportunity path, likely time to useful information and cut/review trigger. Apply exact IR/taxi eligibility and activation rules. Account for upcoming rookie additions, FAAB opportunity cost and draft-order effects. Rank the complete add/drop combinations. Do not treat a free player as costless or recommend a stash whose actual opportunity is already gone.

## 10. League trade-market map

> Map plausible trading relationships from these rosters, picks, completed transactions and current offers. For each relevant franchise, list observed needs, tradable assets, stated asks and demonstrated preferences separately from hypotheses. Identify mutually useful exchanges and explain why both sides might choose them over their alternatives. Flag thin evidence and outdated trades. Do not describe managers as predictable personalities from a small sample. End with the best exploratory conversation or offer to draft, clearly labeled as unsent.

## 11. Weekly update without chasing every headline

> Update my existing dynasty theses from [previous snapshot] to [current cutoff]. First list only material new evidence. For each item, state whether it changes a fact, football forecast, market view, roster policy or action threshold. Preserve unchanged conclusions and show the source/date of revisions. Distinguish persistent role changes from game-result noise. Rank updates by decision impact and urgency. Give actions only where a feasible price or roster move supports them; put the rest on a watchlist with triggers. Do not rewrite the original thesis as though the new information was always known.

## 12. Challenge this analysis

> Audit the recommendation below using the same as-of evidence. Check identities, ownership, exact rules, source support, temporal validity, units, full transaction costs, realistic alternatives, counterparty incentives and double-counted benefits. Identify the strongest supported reason the verdict may be wrong. Distinguish a verified error from a reasonable disagreement about uncertain outcomes. Fix the recommendation where possible; do not merely produce objections. End with the corrected action, the remaining uncertainty and the one missing fact most worth resolving.

## 13. Review a past decision

> Review this original decision record against later observations. Preserve what was known at the time. Separate the football forecast, market forecast, execution and decision process. Do not judge a sound decision solely by an unlucky outcome or excuse a poor decision because it happened to win. Compare with the best feasible alternative known then, while labeling unobserved counterfactuals. Identify a specific process change only if the evidence supports it. Do not invent the trade we supposedly could have made instead.

## 14. Multiple-league exposure

> Review my supplied dynasty rosters as a portfolio of football and market theses. Identify concentrated exposure by player, NFL offense, age/role profile, draft class and shared catalysts. Distinguish weekly scoring correlation from long-term career or resale risk. Respect each league's rules and competitive objective; do not apply a blanket diversification rule. Identify the least costly ways to reduce unwanted concentration while preserving competitive value. Label recommendations dependent on unconfirmed trade access.

## A short operating prompt for routine use

> Be my dynasty decision partner. Use my exact league rules, dated roster/pick ownership and current evidence. Separate football outlook, usable lineup contribution, market observations and value to my team's objective. Research volatile claims when tools are available; never pretend to have checked a source. Compare the action with realistic alternatives and holding. Account for cuts, replacements, future-pick origin/slot uncertainty and counterparty incentives. Give a clear recommendation, attainable price boundaries, the strongest objection and what would change your mind. Ask only for missing facts that could reverse the answer. Label assumptions and unsupported estimates. Analyze and draft; do not execute transactions or send messages.

Use the full master prompt for difficult decisions or persistent instructions. Use this shorter version when the essentials are already established. Repetition is not a substitute for relevant context.
