What it does
Sports News is an agent skill from machina-sports/sports-skills. Sports news via RSS/Atom feeds and Google News. Fetch headlines, search by query, filter by date. Covers football news, transfer rumors, match reports, and any sport via Google News. Use when: user asks for recent news, headlines, transfer rumors, or articles about any sport. Good for "what's the latest on [team/player]" questions. Supports any Google News query and curated RSS feeds (BBC Sport, ESPN, The Athletic, Sky Sports). Don't use when: user asks for structured data like standings, scores, statistics, or…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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/rss-feeds.md` and `scripts/validate_params.sh`).
It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Schema markup and Statistics. 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 for recent news
- Transfer rumors
- Articles about any sport
- : user asks for structured data like standings
Example prompts
- “s the latest on [team/player]”
- “Use the sports-news skill to sport news via RSS/Atom feeds and Google News. An agent skill from machina-sports/sports-skills”
- “/sports-news”
Requirements
- Python 3
- A Bash shell
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- fetch_items --google_news --query="" --limit=5 --sort_by_date=True
- Present headlines with source and date.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 09eb7e8. 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
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
feeds.bbci.co.uk
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
Sports News loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 234 tokens; SKILL.md has 473 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.

Sports News
Before writing queries, consult references/api-reference.md for command parameters and references/rss-feeds.md for curated feed URLs.
Quick Start
Prefer the CLI — it avoids Python import path issues:
sports-skills news fetch_items --google_news --query="Arsenal transfer" --limit=5
sports-skills news fetch_feed --url="https://feeds.bbci.co.uk/sport/football/rss.xml"Python SDK (alternative):
from sports_skills import news
articles = news.fetch_items(google_news=True, query="Arsenal transfer news", limit=10)
feed = news.fetch_feed(url="https://feeds.bbci.co.uk/sport/football/rss.xml")CRITICAL: Before Any Query
CRITICAL: Before calling any news command, verify:
- Dates are derived from the system prompt's
currentDate— never hardcoded. google_news=Trueis always paired with aqueryparameter.sort_by_date=Trueis set for any "recent" or "latest" query.
Choosing Dates
Derive the current date from the system prompt's date (e.g., currentDate: 2026-02-16 means today is 2026-02-16).
- "this week":
after = today - 7 days - "recent" or "latest":
after = today - 3 days - Specific date range: use as-is
Commands
| Command | Required | Optional | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
fetch_feed | url | Fetch an RSS/Atom feed by URL | |
fetch_items | google_news, query, url, limit, after, before, sort_by_date | Fetch news from Google News or an RSS feed |
Workflows
Breaking News Check
fetch_items --google_news --query="<topic>" --limit=5 --sort_by_date=True- Present headlines with source and date.
Topic Deep-Dive
fetch_items --google_news --query="<topic>" --after=<7_days_ago> --sort_by_date=True --limit=10- For curated sources, also try
fetch_feed --url="<rss_url>". - Cross-reference both for comprehensive coverage.
Weekly Sports Roundup
- For each sport of interest,
fetch_items --google_news --query="<sport> results" --after=<7_days_ago> --limit=5. - Aggregate and present by sport.
Examples
Example 1: Transfer news search User says: "What's the latest Arsenal transfer news?" Actions:
- Derive
afterfromcurrentDate: today minus 3 days - Call
fetch_items(google_news=True, query="Arsenal transfer news", after=<derived_date>, sort_by_date=True, limit=10)Result: Recent Arsenal transfer headlines with source, date, and links
Example 2: Curated RSS feed User says: "Show me BBC Sport football headlines" Actions:
- Call
fetch_feed(url="https://feeds.bbci.co.uk/sport/football/rss.xml")Result: BBC Sport football feed title, last updated, and recent articles
Example 3: Date-filtered news User says: "Any Champions League news from this week?" Actions:
- Derive
afterfromcurrentDate: today minus 7 days - Call
fetch_items(google_news=True, query="Champions League", after=<derived_date>, sort_by_date=True, limit=10)Result: Champions League articles from the last 7 days, sorted newest first

If a command is not listed in the Commands table above, it does not exist.
Troubleshooting
Error: Google News returns empty results
Cause: query is missing or too narrow, or google_news=True is not set
Solution: Ensure google_news=True AND a query are both set. Try broader keywords (e.g., "Arsenal" instead of "Arsenal vs Chelsea goal")
Error: RSS feed returns an error
Cause: The feed URL may be temporarily down or the URL format has changed
Solution: Use Google News (fetch_items with google_news=True) as a fallback for the same topic
Error: Articles returned are old despite using "recent" query
Cause: sort_by_date=True is not set, or the after date filter is missing
Solution: Add sort_by_date=True and after=<today - 3 days> to ensure newest articles appear first
