What this skill does
soccer-goat — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the soccer-goat-pp-cli binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first: 1. Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to $HOME/.local/bin on macOS/Linux and %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin on Windows: 2. Verify: soccer-goat-pp-cli --version 3. Ensure the reported install directory is on $PATH for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill. If the npx install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.6 or newer). This installs into $GOPATH/bin (default $HOME/go/bin), so add that directory to $PATH instead: If --version reports "command not found" after install, the runtime cannot see the binary directory on $PATH. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds. soccer-goat resolves a name once and fans out to Transfermarkt market value, EA Sports FC ratings and attribute stats, sofifa/fifacm potential, and ESPN context, then merges them into a single report. A local SQLite store unlocks cross-source queries no single site can answer: over/under-rated vs the market, potential growth gaps, and wonderkid scouting. When to Use This CLI Use soccer-goat when you want a player's or club's market value, game rating, potential, and stats together in one shot, or when you want to run cross-source queries like over/under-rated or wonderkid scouting that need value and rating joined locally. It is the right tool any time the answer spans Transfermarkt plus EA FC plus FIFA-style potential. Anti-triggers Do not use this CLI for: Do not use for live match scores or fixtures; use a dedicated ESPN or scores tool. Do not use for fantasy-football price/points optimization; it reports market value and game ratings, not FPL prices. Do not use for betting odds. …
