Architecture

cli.py              → Chat loop (Rich UI + Anthropic API)
core/fpl.py         → Async FPL API wrapper (aiohttp)
core/scoring.py     → Player scoring and ranking logic
tools/team.py       → Team, budget, and player stat tools
tools/news.py       → Injury news and player availability
tools/analysis.py   → Transfer recommendations and fixture analysis
tools/browser.py    → Playwright-based login and transfer execution
tools/registry.py   → Anthropic tool definitions and handler mapping
db/schema.sql       → SQLite schema for session state and transfer history

Claude handles all orchestration — no LangGraph or agent frameworks. The CLI sends your message plus the tool definitions to Claude, which decides what to call based on your question. Transfers require explicit y confirmation before executing.
