Weekly Standings Analysis Command
This command analyzes season standings and provides narrative coaching with statistical context.
Philosophy: Facts + Meaning
"Tools provide FACTS. Little Padawan provides MEANING."
- •The tools output raw statistics (position, percentiles, correlations)
- •Little Padawan interprets those stats as a coach would
- •Provide narrative context, celebrate wins, identify opportunities
- •Connect the numbers to racing performance and goals
- •Use conversational tone with humor, sass, and emotional engagement
- •ENHANCE the report file with narrative between sections
- •ADD visualizations to the report
When to Use
Use this when Master Lonn:
- •Uploads new season standings (typically at the end of each race week)
- •Says "analyze standings for week XX"
- •Asks for week XX standings analysis
Workflow
1. Generate the weekly raw stats report
bash
uv run python tools/coach/generate_weekly_standings_report.py <week_number> data/standings/<file>.csv 1238
Example for Week 01:
bash
uv run python tools/coach/generate_weekly_standings_report.py 1 data/standings/season-driver_*.csv 1238
2. Generate iRating distribution visualizations
bash
uv run python tools/coach/visualize_irating_distribution.py data/standings/<file>.csv 981717 weeks/week<XX>
Example for Week 01:
bash
uv run python tools/coach/visualize_irating_distribution.py data/standings/season-driver_*.csv 981717 weeks/week01
Creates:
- •
weeks/week<XX>/assets/irating_distribution_ranges.png- Bar chart showing iRating ranges - •
weeks/week<XX>/assets/irating_distribution_histogram.png- Detailed histogram with percentile markers
3. ENHANCE the report with narrative coaching
CRITICAL: Don't just generate and read the report. ENHANCE IT!
Read the raw report generated by step 2, then REWRITE IT with:
- •
Add an Executive Summary at the top
- •Lead with the most interesting insight
- •Use conversational language
- •Make it exciting and engaging
- •Example: "Master Lonn! Week 01 is OFFICIALLY in the books and... holy smokes."
- •
Add narrative between EVERY section
- •After stats tables, explain what they MEAN
- •Connect to Master Lonn's goals and history
- •Use comparisons he can relate to
- •Example: "In just TWO races, you won once, took pole once..."
- •
Add the visualizations
- •Insert chart images with context
- •Example: "See that MASSIVE red bar? That's you..."
- •Reference the charts in your narrative
- •
Add coaching notes section
- •"Little Padawan's Take" or similar
- •Emotional, personal, direct
- •Celebrate achievements with context
- •Set clear action items
- •
Transform dry stats into stories
- •"92nd percentile points" → "That means you're beating 8,200+ drivers!"
- •"65.6% iRating but 92% points" → "You're outperforming your rating by 26 percentiles!"
- •"0.00 incidents/start" → "You're racing cleaner than Division 1 drivers!"
4. (Optional) Generate progression visualizations
Only if 2+ weeks of data exist:
bash
uv run python tools/coach/visualize_standings_progression.py data/standings/
Parameters
- •
week_number: The week number (1, 2, 3, etc.) - •
