What it does

Sports Scores is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Get live scores, schedules, and standings for major leagues with zero API keys — ESPN's public JSON endpoints via curl, covering NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and world football. Use when asked what's the score, did my team win, today's games, or league standings right now. Produces the scores with game state (live/final/scheduled), the asked-team answer first, and the rerunnable command — with the unofficial-API caveat stated.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked whats the score
  • Did my team win
  • League standings right now

Example prompts

  • “s the score, did my team win, today”
  • “/sports-scores”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Scoreboards: curl -s "https://site.api.espn.com/apis/site/v2/sports/{sport}/{league}/scoreboard" — pairs: football/nfl, basketball/nba…
  2. Teams and standings: .../{sport}/{league}/teams for the id map · .../{sport}/{league}/standings where available · a team's schedule…
  3. State is part of the score: "Lakers 98–95" means opposite things live-in-Q4 vs. final — the state string accompanies every score, and live…
  4. The nickname resolution step: fetch the teams list once when unsure rather than guessing which "Rangers" (NHL? MLB? Scottish football?)…
  5. The unofficial-source honesty: these endpoints are publicly served but undocumented — they can reshape or vanish without notice. Say "via…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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 Scores loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 109 tokens; SKILL.md has 530 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~109
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Get live scores, schedules, and standings for major leagues with zero API keys — ESPN's public JSON endpoints via curl, covering NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and world football. Use when asked what's the score, did my team win, today's games, or league standings right now. Produces the scores with game state (live/final/scheduled), the asked-team answer first, and the rerunnable command — with the unofficial-API caveat stated.

Sports Scores Skill

"Did we win?" is a live-data question with a keyless answer: ESPN serves structured JSON scoreboards for every major league over plain HTTPS — no key, no signup. The endpoints are unofficial (publicly accessible but undocumented, and they occasionally reshape), so this skill pairs them with the discipline that makes unofficial sources usable: state the source, expect drift, and never present a stale scoreboard as live.

What This Skill Produces

  • The answer — the asked team's score/result first, with game state (live Q3, final, starts 19:30 local)
  • The slate — today's games for a league when that's the question
  • Standings/schedule — where the endpoints serve them
  • The command — exact curl, rerunnable, with the unofficial caveat

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • Team or league — resolve nicknames ("the Niners" → San Francisco 49ers, NFL); ambiguous city names ("New York") get asked
  • Which game — today's default; "did they win" on an off-day means the most recent game — say which game is being answered
  • Time zone — game times convert to the user's local

Framework: The Endpoint Map and the Discipline

  1. Scoreboards: curl -s "https://site.api.espn.com/apis/site/v2/sports/{sport}/{league}/scoreboard" — pairs: football/nfl, basketball/nba, baseball/mlb, hockey/nhl, basketball/wnba, football/college-football, soccer/eng.1 (Premier League; other comps: esp.1, ita.1, ger.1, uefa.champions, usa.1). Add ?dates=YYYYMMDD for a specific day. Each event: competitions[0].competitors[] (team.displayName, score, homeAway), status.type (state: pre/in/post, detail: "Final", "End of 3rd").
  2. Teams and standings: .../{sport}/{league}/teams for the id map · .../{sport}/{league}/standings where available · a team's schedule: .../teams/{id}/schedule.
  3. State is part of the score: "Lakers 98–95" means opposite things live-in-Q4 vs. final — the state string accompanies every score, and live answers carry their fetch time ("as of 21:42 — game in progress").
  4. The nickname resolution step: fetch the teams list once when unsure rather than guessing which "Rangers" (NHL? MLB? Scottish football?) — the wrong-team answer is this domain's cardinal sin.
  5. The unofficial-source honesty: these endpoints are publicly served but undocumented — they can reshape or vanish without notice. Say "via ESPN's public feed" in the answer; on a failed or weird response, report that rather than improvising a score. Never answer scores from memory — training-data scores are, by definition, old games.

Output Format

[Team/League]: [the game]

[The direct answer: "49ers won 27–20 (final, last night)" or "Down 95–98, 4:12 left in the 4th — as of 21:42."]

MatchupScoreStateTime (local)
[The slate, when a league day was asked]

Source: ESPN public feed (unofficial) · as of [fetch time] · rerun: [exact curl]

Quality Checks

  • The asked team's result leads; the slate follows
  • Every score carries its game state, and live scores their fetch time
  • Nicknames/cities resolved to the right team, asked about when ambiguous
  • Game times converted to the user's zone
  • The unofficial-source line appears

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not answer scores from memory — every remembered score is an old score
  • Do not present a live score without its clock state and fetch time
  • Do not guess between same-name teams — resolve or ask
  • Do not improvise when the endpoint reshapes — report and hand over the command
  • Do not editorialize outcomes ("embarrassing loss") — the user's team just lost; read the room, give the facts

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "What's the score?"
  • "Did my team win?"
  • "What games are on today?"
  • "Show me the league standings right now."
