Football Player DNA — AI Similarity Search
Find statistically similar football players at lower market values. Powered by the Rising Transfers Intelligence API using pgvector cosine similarity across 56,000+ player profiles — covering Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1, MLS, and more.
This is the only football AI skill that uses DNA vector search: each player is encoded as a multi-dimensional fingerprint of playing style, physical attributes, and tactical role. The result: genuine statistical twins, not surface-level comparisons.

Security & Privacy

You can disable autonomous invocation by setting skill.auto-discover false in your OpenClaw config. Every API call consumes credits from your Rising Transfers account (2 credits per DNA search on free tier).
Trust Statement

Trigger
When the user asks to:
Examples:
Instructions
1. Extract the target player name from the user's request. If a team is mentioned, note it for disambiguation.
2. Call the DNA search endpoint:
POST https://api.risingtransfers.com/api/v1/intelligence/dna-search
Headers:
X-RT-API-Key:
Content-Type: application/json
Body:
{ "name": "", "team": "" }
3. If the response contains error: "INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS", inform the user their Rising Transfers credits are exhausted and direct them to api.risingtransfers.com to top up.
4. If the response contains error: "PLAYER_NOT_FOUND", ask the user to clarify the player name or provide the current club.
5. Parse the data.alternatives array from the response. For each alternative player, present:
- Player name and current club
- DNA similarity percentage (e.g. "91% similar")
- Market value and difference vs target (e.g. "€65M cheaper")
- Position and key playing style tags
6. Present results as a ranked table, most similar first. Example format:
| Rank | Player | Club | Similarity | Value | Saving vs [Target] | |------|--------|------|-----------|-------|-------------------| | 1 | Name | Club | 91% | €15M | €65M cheaper |
7. After the table, offer to dive deeper: "Want a full scout report on any of these players?"
8. Do not fabricate statistics. If the API returns no alternatives, say so clearly and suggest the user try a different player.
