The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Before writing queries, consult references/api-reference.md for endpoints, ID conventions, and data shapes.
Before first use, check if the CLI is available:
which sports-skills || pip install sports-skills
If pip install fails (package not found or Python version error), install from GitHub:
pip install git+https://github.com/machina-sports/sports-skills.git
The package requires Python 3.10+. If your default Python is older, use a specific version:
python3 --version # check version
# If < 3.10, try: python3.12 -m pip install sports-skills
# On macOS with Homebrew: /opt/homebrew/bin/python3.12 -m pip install sports-skills
No API keys required.
Prefer the CLI — it avoids Python import path issues:
sports-skills football get_daily_schedule
sports-skills football get_season_standings --season_id=premier-league-2025
Python SDK (alternative):
from sports_skills import football
standings = football.get_season_standings(season_id="premier-league-2025")
schedule = football.get_daily_schedule()
