Sports News
Pulls sports headlines from Google News and curated RSS feeds like BBC Sport, ESPN, The Athletic, and Sky Sports. Good for "what's the latest on Arsenal transfers" or "any Champions League news this week" questions where you need text articles, not stats or scores. The docs are refreshingly clear about what it doesn't do: it won't give you standings, live scores, or xG data, and it explicitly tells you which other skills to use for those instead. Built by machina-sports with solid date filtering and a CLI-first approach to avoid Python import headaches. It's basically a smart RSS aggregator that knows sports publishers and can search Google News with proper date ranges.

Sports News
Before writing queries, consult references/api-reference.md for command parameters and references/rss-feeds.md for curated feed URLs.
Quick Start
Prefer the CLI — it avoids Python import path issues:
sports-skills news fetch_items --google_news --query="Arsenal transfer" --limit=5
sports-skills news fetch_feed --url="https://feeds.bbci.co.uk/sport/football/rss.xml"
Python SDK (alternative):
from sports_skills import news
articles = news.fetch_items(google_news=True, query="Arsenal transfer news", limit=10)
feed = news.fetch_feed(url="https://feeds.bbci.co.uk/sport/football/rss.xml")
CRITICAL: Before Any Query
CRITICAL: Before calling any news command, verify:
- Dates are derived from the system prompt's
currentDate— never hardcoded. google_news=Trueis always paired with aqueryparameter.sort_by_date=Trueis set for any "recent" or "latest" query.
Choosing Dates
Derive the current date from the system prompt's date (e.g., currentDate: 2026-02-16 means today is 2026-02-16).
