AnyCap World Cup Predict

Read this entire file before starting. It defines a reliable workflow for turning a player name (or a whole squad) into structured, verifiable World Cup pre-match intel using AnyCap, then optionally calling a winner and scoreline for fun.

World Cup match prediction and pre-match intel for serious football fans. Turn player names and lineups into structured, verifiable profiles, stats, and matchup briefings so you can read a World Cup matchup before kickoff -- then, if you want, finish with a for-fun prediction (likely winner + scoreline + confidence). Built for World Cup squads and national-team lineups, and works for any footballer.

This skill is about how to retrieve and verify player data. For CLI command reference (flags, output, jq), read the anycap-cli skill and its references/search.md / references/crawl.md.

This skill surfaces public information (profiles, form, historical stats) and can finish with an optional for-fun prediction (likely winner + a playful scoreline) derived from that data. It does not set betting odds, output win probabilities as if they were facts, or place wagers. Every prediction must ship with the disclaimer in predict.md. Treat everything as informational and form your own judgment.

Prerequisites

• anycap CLI installed and authenticated (anycap status to verify). Read the anycap-cli skill if setup is needed.
• jq for parsing JSON output.
