wow-coach

A Claude Code skill that turns the wowdps damage meter into a live between-pulls World of Warcraft performance coach: it pre-flights the combat-log pipeline over the daemon's MCP server, mines a pasted SimC export for free gear wins, launches patch-current research agents, watches for fight completions in the background, and grades every kill or wipe against a triage rubric with same-spec comparisons and trend tracking.

Install

git clone https://github.com/kriswill/wow-coach
cd wow-coach && ./install.sh

install.sh symlinks wow-coach/ into ~/.claude/skills/ (override the config root with CLAUDE_DIR). Because it's a link, git pull updates the live skill in place. Requires the wowdps daemon's MCP server for the live coaching loop; the SimC-paste and sim-lookup parts work without it.

Layout

• wow-coach/SKILL.md — the skill entry point: phases, guardrails, and the when-to-load table for everything below.
• wow-coach/references/ — the coach's working knowledge: MCP tool shapes, the grading rubric, SimC-paste mining, research-agent briefs, gear intelligence, player-verified game facts, and two generated sim lookups (trinket-sims.tsv, secondary-sims.tsv) built from bloodmallet data.
• wow-coach/scripts/ — pre-flight and MCP helpers, the fight-watch monitor, the bloodmallet fetchers that regenerate the sim lookups, and the talent tooling: render-talents.sh (a self-contained HTML tree viewer with game icons, tooltips, and loadout diffing), loadouts.sh (per-character, per-encounter saved builds under ~/Documents/wow-coach/loadouts/), and fetch-talents-fallback.sh (talent dataset snapshot for machines without a game install).
• wow-coach/evals/ — trigger evals for the skill description.

Talents

The coach reads and writes the game's own talent import strings through the wowdps MCP server's decode_talents / encode_talents / talent_tree tools, backed by a dataset extracted from the local game files (wowdps' tools/gen-talent-trees.sh, once per patch). Decoded builds are graded per encounter, saved as boss/dungeon/pvp/delve loadouts, and rendered as a graphical tree (scripts/render-talents.sh) the player can read between pulls. See wow-coach/references/talents.md.

Refreshing sim data (once per game patch)

wow-coach/scripts/fetch-trinket-sims.sh      # trinket rankings, ilvl→DPS
wow-coach/scripts/fetch-secondary-sims.sh    # secondary-stat splits at 1/3/5 targets
wow-coach/scripts/fetch-talents-fallback.sh  # talent trees w/o a game install
                                             # (with one: wowdps gen-talent-trees)

Both stamp the sim date and SimC build into the TSV headers; specs missing from the output have no bloodmallet chart for the current game build. Commit the refreshed TSVs so the data is versioned per patch.
