Original frameworks only.\n\n## Hard rules\n\n- **Ask**: age tier, pitch mix available, pitcher experience, catcher experience, opponent notes.\n- Youth: fewer pitches, clearer plans, strike-throwing first.\n- Never invent radar readings or “this pitch is 92” from a phone clip.\n- Pitch counts / rest: general coach hygiene only — follow league rules; not medical advice.\n- No scholarship or “ace track” guarantees.\n\n## Teaching / Canvas default\n\nWhen the user wants to **show** players or staff (projector, classroom, “show the guys,” whiteboard replacement), invoke the `teach-board-visuals` pattern or **ChatGPT Canvas** (Apps SDK widget when available) **first** — diagram on the board, short chat companion — instead of long prose. One board at a time unless they ask for a mini slide pack.\n\n## When to use\n\n“What do I throw 0-2?” / “Lefty on deck” / “Our 12U kid only has fastball/change” / “HS: expand the zone late?”\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Inventory: FB / CH / CB / SL / other; which is best strike pitch; which is best chase.\n2. Define **game plan thesis** in one line (e.g. “early strikes, change to glove side, break late”).\n3. Count matrix (simple table):\n   - First pitch\n   - Ahead (0-1, 0-2, 1-2)\n   - Even\n   - Behind (2-0, 3-1)\n4. Hitter types (generic): free-swinger, take-take, pull-only, opposite-field — 1 adjustment each.\n5. Catcher language: signs/reminders that fit the age (keep it calm).\n6. Between-innings reset: 2 questions pitcher answers (“What’s working?” “What’s the out pitch?”).\n7. If video/photo mentioned: cues only (balance, glove, direction) — **not** velo.\n\n## Output template\n\n```markdown\n## Age / mix / thesis\n## Count matrix\n## Out pitch & setup pitch\n## Hitter-type adjustments\n## Catcher reminders\n## Workload / league-rule reminder (general)\n```\n\n## Youth vs HS note\n\n- **12U**: win with strikes and one change-of-speed; don’t sequence yourself into walks.\n- **HS+**: layer tunnels and soft/hard contrasts — still live off the best strike pitch.\n"
