## What it does

The skill retrieves World Cup 2026 tournament information by executing Python functions from `core.skill_tools.worldcup` inside Bash. Your agent parses the resulting JSON data to report upcoming fixtures or live game updates. All match schedules use UTC.

A built-in prediction game lets users wager virtual points on fixtures. Wagers range from 10 to 10000 points in multiples of 10 for match outcomes, exact scorelines, or team goals. Cancelling an unsettled pick returns the wagered points immediately.

Authentication happens automatically using a container JWT, so you do not need an external API key. Without the `core.skill_tools.worldcup` module in your environment, the bash commands will fail.
