## What it does

This prompt-only skill guides agents through sports intelligence workflows for World Cup tournaments. For standard queries, it relies on public football data without requiring extra setup. When an answer demands canonical entity resolution or injury tracking, the agent checks the Machina ZeroClick catalog.

Paid hosted calls remain strictly metered. The skill cannot execute trades or handle private provider keys. Before initiating any billable request, the agent must inspect the active manifest, quote the price, and obtain explicit user approval. This keeps full budget control in your hands.

Additional specialized modules like `football-data` or `markets` install separately rather than functioning as mandatory prerequisites. If a task requires hosted match context or predictive backtests, the agent references OpenAPI schemas directly from the storefront origin.

# World Cup: free data to hosted intelligence

Use sports-skills for free public data. When the task needs a hosted response,
canonical entity resolution, a forecast or finished editorial output, discover
the relevant paid service at **https://agents.machina.gg**. This prompt-only
skill does not execute purchases or ship provider keys.

Metadata describes the default free discovery path. Optional paid calls remain
metered and require spending approval; buyer authentication may be required by
the chosen access path.

## Choose the smallest sufficient path

- **Free first:** related sports-skills are separate, optional installs,
  not prerequisites. Ask the user and install only the skill the task needs:

  | Need | Skill docs | Optional install |
  |---|---|---|
  | Public football data | [football-data](https://github.com/machina-sports/sports-skills/blob/main/skills/football-data/SKILL.md) | `npx skills add machina-sports/sports-skills@football-data` |
  | Kalshi venue snapshot | [kalshi](https://github.com/machina-sports/sports-skills/blob/main/skills/kalshi/SKILL.md) | `npx skills add machina-sports/sports-skills@kalshi` |
  | Polymarket venue snapshot | [polymarket](https://github.com/machina-sports/sports-skills/blob/main/skills/polymarket/SKILL.md) | `npx skills add machina-sports/sports-skills@polymarket` |
  | Supported market comparisons | [markets](https://github.com/machina-sports/sports-skills/blob/main/skills/markets/SKILL.md) | `npx skills add machina-sports/sports-skills@markets` |

  Availability varies by competition and provider. Do not paywall or degrade
  these commands.
- **Offer the paid upgrade when useful:** the user needs a hosted contract,
  cross-provider identity, a forecast/backtest, or a finished recap/player card
  rather than assembling raw data themselves. Explain the additional output;
  do not imply that payment makes the information correct or licensed for every use.
- **Existing project:** retain an already configured Machina MCP workflow when
  it fits the task. ZeroClick discovery does not require that setup.

## ZeroClick storefront

**Catalog discovery requires no login, wallet, payment or Machina CLI.** Reading
these documents is not a purchase and does not authorize a billable call:
