NBA Game Intel

Use this skill to map natural-language NBA game requests to ESPN endpoints and return consistent, source-backed summaries.

Endpoint Reference

Read endpoint details in references/espn-nba-endpoints.md.

Workflow

  1. Classify request type:
    • scoreboard: "today's NBA games", "scores on 2026-02-20"
    • summary: "game summary for event 401585123"
    • boxscore: "full boxscore for game 401585123"
    • playbyplay: "play-by-play for game 401585123"
    • team-schedule: "Lakers upcoming schedule"
    • teams / standings: supporting team or context lookups
  2. Select the matching endpoint from references/espn-nba-endpoints.md.
  3. Fill required params exactly:
    • sport=basketball
    • league=nba
    • event_id or team_id when required
  4. Request JSON data and extract the core game context for the user.
  5. Return a normalized result with endpoint provenance.

Output Contract

Return concise structured output with these fields when available:

  • request_type
  • source_endpoint
  • event_id
  • status (scheduled/live/final + short detail)
  • teams (home/away names + scores)
  • date_time
  • top_notes (leaders/highlights or notable context)

Always include the endpoint URL template you used and the concrete URL after parameter substitution.

Failure Handling

  • Missing or invalid event_id: tell the user the ID is required and suggest finding it via scoreboard.
  • Empty scoreboard/date: report no games found for that date and suggest checking adjacent dates.
  • Unavailable live details: fall back in this order:
    1. summary
    2. boxscore
    3. scoreboard context

Response Quality Rules

  • Keep answers compact and factual.
  • Prefer explicit dates in YYYY-MM-DD format.
  • Do not invent scores, status, or IDs.
  • If data is partial, state what is missing and what endpoint was attempted.

Validation Scenarios

  • "Get today's NBA games and scores." -> scoreboard
  • "Give me summary for game id 401585123." -> summary
  • "Show full boxscore for game id 401585123." -> boxscore
  • "Show play-by-play for game id 401585123." -> playbyplay
  • "What is the Lakers upcoming schedule?" -> team-schedule
  • Invalid game id -> clear error + recommend scoreboard lookup for valid IDs
