What it does
Cricket Data is an agent skill from machina-sports/sports-skills. Cricket data via ESPN public endpoints and Cricsheet open data — live-ish series scoreboards, standings, match summaries and news (ESPN), plus historical ball-by-ball, player stats, and player registry (Cricsheet, ODC-BY 1.0). Zero config, no API keys. Use when: user asks about cricket scores, IPL/BBL/PSL/international series, points tables, match details, cricket news, ball-by-ball history, or player career stats. Don't use when: user asks about other sports — use football-data (soccer), nfl-data (NFL), nba-data…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/api-reference.md`, `references/competitions.md` and `scripts/validate_params.sh`).
It sits in Data & Analytics. It works with Kalshi and Polymarket. The repository describes itself as: Open-source agent skills for live sports data and prediction markets. Football, F1, Kalshi, Polymarket. Zero API keys. SKILL.md format. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- : user asks about cricket scores
- IPL/BBL/PSL/international series
- Ball-by-ball history
- Player career stats
Example prompts
- “/cricket-data”
Requirements
- Python 3
- A Bash shell
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- get_series → pick the series and note its series_id.
- get_scoreboard --series_id= → present matches by status and score.
- For one match's detail: get_game_summary --series_id= --event_id=.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0420a7c. 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/ (Shell), which the agent can run.
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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Cricket Data loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 213 tokens; SKILL.md has 628 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Cricket Data (ESPN + Cricsheet)
Before writing queries, consult references/api-reference.md for endpoints, ID conventions, and data shapes. See references/competitions.md for the Cricsheet competition codes.
Quick Start
Prefer the CLI — it avoids Python import path issues. There are two backends: ESPN (live-ish) and Cricsheet (historical).
# ESPN backend (live-ish) — discover series first, then use its numeric ID
sports-skills cricket get_series
sports-skills cricket get_scoreboard --series_id=8048
sports-skills cricket get_standings --series_id=8048
sports-skills cricket get_game_summary --series_id=8048 --event_id=1535465
sports-skills cricket get_news --series_id=8048
# Cricsheet backend (historical, completed matches) — uses letter codes
sports-skills cricket get_competitions
sports-skills cricket get_matches --competition=ipl --season=2026
sports-skills cricket get_match_deliveries --competition=ipl --match_id=1473508
sports-skills cricket get_player_stats --competition=ipl --player="V Kohli"
sports-skills cricket find_player --name=kohliCRITICAL: Before Any Query
CRITICAL: Before calling any data endpoint, verify:
- ESPN series IDs are per-series, not per-league. Always discover them with
get_seriesfirst. IDs change every season for recurring tournaments (e.g. each IPL season has a different ID). Never hardcode them — the8048in the examples is illustrative, not permanent. - Two ID spaces.
get_seriesreturns ESPN IDs (live, numeric, e.g.8048).get_competitionsreturns Cricsheet codes (historical, letter codes, e.g.ipl). They are unrelated except at the match level: a Cricsheetmatch_idequals the ESPNcricinfo match ID, so it bridges the two backends. - Cricsheet covers completed matches only (~1-day lag after a match finishes). For anything live or upcoming, use the ESPN commands (
get_scoreboard,get_series). get_player_statsrequires the exact Cricsheet name spelling (e.g."V Kohli", not"Virat Kohli"). Resolve the spelling withfind_playerfirst.- No ICC rankings — there is no free source (v1 limitation). Series standings come from
get_standings, which is empty for most bilateral tours (only league/group tournaments publish a points table). - First Cricsheet call per competition per day downloads a zip. Large competitions (Tests, ODIs, IPL) are tens of MB. Zips are cached 24h at
~/.cache/sports-skills/cricsheet/; later calls in the same day are fast.
Agents can run scripts/validate_params.sh to pre-validate --competition, --series_id, and --date before querying.
Commands

| Command | Required params | Description |

get_series | — | List currently-active cricket series with ESPN series IDs and live events |

get_standings | series_id | Points table for a series (empty for most bilateral tours) |
get_game_summary | event_id, series_id (optional for active series) | Match detail: rosters, leaders, matchcards, every innings' scorecard, venue info |
get_news | series_id | News articles for a series |
Cricsheet backend (historical, ODC-BY 1.0)
| Command | Required params | Description |
|---|---|---|

get_matches | competition (opt season) | Completed matches for a competition, newest first |
get_match_deliveries | competition, match_id (opt innings) | Ball-by-ball deliveries for a completed match |
get_player_stats | competition, player (opt season) | Aggregate batting + bowling stats for a player |
find_player | name | Search Cricsheet player registry; returns ESPNcricinfo ID mappings |
Dates accept YYYYMMDD or YYYY-MM-DD. season is the start year (e.g. 2020 matches Cricsheet's "2020/21"). See references/api-reference.md for full parameter lists and return shapes.
