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

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
Select the matching endpoint from references/espn-nba-endpoints.md.
Fill required params exactly:
- sport=basketball
- league=nba
- event_id or team_id when required
Request JSON data and extract the core game context for the user.
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
