sports-scores
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.
npx skills add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills --skill sports-scores --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# 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. **

Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
