What it does

World Cup Predictor is an agent skill from agentara/skills. Predict FIFA World Cup matches, full tournament paths, and champion probabilities through Codex-native subagents that analyze live news, weather, injuries, markets, Polymarket, tactics, and tournament context while updating a real-time web dashboard. Use when asked to forecast World Cup games, predict the full World Cup outlook, compare match forecasts, or show prediction progress live in a browser.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 39 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `assets/dashboard/app.js` and `assets/dashboard/data/final-subagent-dashboard.json`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Subagents. It works with Polymarket. The repository describes itself as: Original and practical skills for AI builders. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to forecast World Cup games
  • Predict the full World Cup outlook
  • Compare match forecasts
  • Show prediction progress live in a browser

Example prompts

  • “/world-cup-predictor”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js
  • A credential in ODDS_API_KEY

Workflow steps

10 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Start the dashboard server first.
  2. Initialize the page state.
  3. Lock finished results.
  4. Collect current signals.
  5. Read references/agent-native-workflow.md, references/research-protocol.md, and references/dashboard-data-contract.json.
  6. Spawn subagents using the layered workflow in references/agent-native-workflow.md.
  7. As subagent results arrive, publish partial dashboard JSON with scripts/publish_dashboard.py.
  8. Final output must include settled results plus forecasts for the remaining complete tournament path.
  9. Publish final data with scripts/publish_dashboard.py --complete.
  10. Run the local regression checks, then verify the dashboard and replay controls in the Browser plugin.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 950e1bf. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (JavaScript, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • ODDS_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

World Cup Predictor loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~7.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 106 tokens; SKILL.md has 849 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~106
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~7.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

description
Predict FIFA World Cup matches, full tournament paths, and champion probabilities through Codex-native subagents that analyze live news, weather, injuries, markets, Polymarket, tactics, and tournament context while updating a real-time web dashboard. Use when asked to forecast World Cup games, predict the full World Cup outlook, compare match forecasts, or show prediction progress live in a browser.

World Cup Predictor

Overview

Use this skill to run an agent-native World Cup prediction room. The invoking Codex agent starts the web dashboard first, collects current signals, spawns subagents for independent analysis, and publishes each prediction update to the page as subagent results arrive.

Do not substitute deterministic, static, or hardcoded forecasts. The model reasoning must come from the current Codex agent and its subagents.

Default Action

For broad requests such as "predict this World Cup", "predict the tournament path", "who will win", or "预测这一届世界杯走向":

  1. Start the dashboard server first.
    • Run python3 scripts/start_dashboard.py --port 8789 from the skill root in a long-running foreground tool session.
    • The helper chooses the next free port if 8789 is occupied. Report the printed URL.
    • Do not rely on shell backgrounding with &; some Codex shells clean up detached processes before the browser can connect.
  2. Initialize the page state.
    • Run scripts/bootstrap_worldcup.py --out assets/dashboard/data.
    • Run scripts/set_live_state.py --stage kickoff --message "Starting subagent World Cup prediction room" --progress 0.03.
  3. Lock finished results.
    • Verify official or reputable live score sources for already-finished matches.
    • Write them to assets/dashboard/data/locked-results.json with scripts/sync_locked_results.py.
    • Do not ask subagents to predict locked matches.
  4. Collect current signals.
    • Run scripts/collect_signals.py --out assets/dashboard/data/signals.json.
    • If signals.json contains Polymarket rows with status: "fallback-required" or odds with status: "missing ODDS_API_KEY", preserve those rows and have the market subagent manually inspect the listed public pages. Do not treat empty market data as zero probability.
    • Run scripts/set_live_state.py --stage signal-collection --message "Collected news, markets, weather, and optional odds" --progress 0.10.
  5. Read references/agent-native-workflow.md, references/research-protocol.md, and references/dashboard-data-contract.json.
  6. Spawn subagents using the layered workflow in references/agent-native-workflow.md.
    • Keep markets and news-weather as sidecar signal agents.
    • For the group stage, spawn one subagent per group (group-a through group-l).
    • For knockouts, spawn one subagent per current-round match and advance round by round until the Final.
    • The Final is predicted by one final-match subagent after semifinal winners are fixed.
  7. As subagent results arrive, publish partial dashboard JSON with scripts/publish_dashboard.py.
    • If a subagent takes longer than the first wait, continue waiting in longer intervals and publish heartbeat live-state updates so the dashboard stays alive.
    • Do not interrupt slow role agents just to force a compact result. Only synthesize a missing role after an explicit failure, unavailable subagent tooling, or a user request to stop waiting.
  8. Final output must include settled results plus forecasts for the remaining complete tournament path.
  9. Publish final data with scripts/publish_dashboard.py --complete.
  10. Run the local regression checks, then verify the dashboard and replay controls in the Browser plugin.

Regression Checks

After publishing final dashboard data, run the local regression suite:

bash
python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -v

If invoking from the repository root instead of the skill root, use:

bash
python3 -m unittest discover -s world-cup-predictor/tests -v

These tests use Python's standard unittest framework. Do not require pytest unless a future dependency file explicitly adds it. Treat missing pytest as an environment/tooling issue, not a failed regression.

Prediction Contract

  • The web page is the live display surface. Keep it changing while work proceeds by updating assets/dashboard/data/live-state.json and assets/dashboard/data/predictions.json.
  • Published prediction and live-state updates append snapshots to assets/dashboard/data/replay.json; preserve it through the run so the completed dashboard can replay the forecast room.
  • Subagent reasoning is the prediction engine. Do not substitute deterministic ratings or hardcoded forecasts.
  • Finished matches are settled results, not forecasts. Lock them before prediction and exclude them from subagent prediction scopes.
  • Every match packet must include probabilities, predicted score, event timeline, momentum, evidence, risks, and environmental factors.
  • The final dashboard JSON must match references/dashboard-data-contract.json.
  • If subagent tools are unavailable, perform the same analysis in the main agent and state that parallelization was unavailable.

Evidence Rules

  • Date every source. The World Cup is live and information changes quickly.
  • Separate observed results from forecasts. Already-played matches must be locked as facts.
  • Flag missing or stale data instead of filling it with guesses.
  • If a live data connector fails, use the explicit fallback URLs in signals.json and state the connector failure in the dashboard narrative.
  • For Polymarket and odds, capture market title, URL, timestamp, liquidity/volume when visible, price, and normalized implied probability.
  • For tactical claims, cite concrete matchups: press resistance, buildup shape, transition defense, set pieces, wide overloads, goalkeeper distribution, squad rotation, altitude/travel/rest, and suspension risk.
  • For simulation claims, cite the factor behind each event when possible: heat fatigue, humidity-driven tempo drop, injury limitation, set-piece mismatch, bench depth, goalkeeper profile, or tactical change.
