sports-ds-bridge: Data & Analytics for AI Agents | OpenAgentSkill

Overview

Connect the optional sports_ds Python toolkit to the standalone sports analytics skills. Use when the user explicitly mentions sports_ds, wants its NFL/NBA/MLB public-data loaders or CLI, needs toolkit setup/troubleshooting, or wants to convert toolkit output into a skill's documented input artifact.

Sports DS Bridge

Overview

sports_ds is an optional data and workflow accelerator that lives in the same repository as this skill pack. It is not required by the other skills.

This bridge is the only skill allowed to talk about sports_ds setup, imports, CLI commands, caches, and pipeline outputs. Its job is narrow:

decide whether the toolkit is actually needed;
set it up only with authorization;
use the narrowest toolkit surface that satisfies the request;
materialize a portable CSV / Parquet / JSON artifact;
validate that artifact against the downstream skill's own contract;
hand off to a standalone skill and stop.

The bridge is an integration boundary, not a second modeling stack. After the handoff, generic skills must not call back into sports_ds.

Read references/toolkit-map.md for concrete imports and CLI routes. Read references/handoff-contracts.md before writing an artifact for another skill.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

the user explicitly names sports_ds, sports-ds, or this repository's toolkit;
the user wants the optional public-data loaders / normalized panels for NFL, NBA, or MLB;
the user wants toolkit CLI reference pipelines or feature-registry output;
the user needs setup, install, import, cache, or CLI troubleshooting for the toolkit;
the user already has toolkit output and needs it translated into a portable artifact another skill can consume.

Do not use this skill when:

the user already has usable CSV / Parquet / JSON and just wants EDA, features, models, validation, calibration, or reporting;
a public loader skill (nflreadpy, sportsdataverse-py, pybaseball, data-sources) is enough and the user did not ask for the toolkit;
you are tempted to make a generic skill "easier" by smuggling in a sports_ds dependency;
the request is custom betting-market construction, pick selling, or claimed edge.

Need	Prefer instead
Ordinary EDA on user data	`eda-sports`
Feature legality / leakage	`feature-rules`, `leakage-audit`
Baselines / predictive models	`baseline-models`, `predictive-modeling`
Public NFL load without toolkit	`nflreadpy`
Public MLB load without toolkit	`pybaseball`
Multi-sport source choice	`data-sources` / `sportsdataverse-py`
Environment only	`environment-setup`

Installation

The toolkit is optional. Confirm it is missing before suggesting install, and get authorization before cloning or installing.

Check first

python -c "import sports_ds; print(sports_ds.__version__)"
sports-ds --help

If import works, do not reinstall. Record the version and continue.

Authorized install from the public repo

git clone https://github.com/WalrusQuant/sports-analytic-skills.git
cd sports-analytic-skills
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate   # Windows: .venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
python -m pip install -U pip
python -m pip install -e .

Optional multi-sport loaders (NBA/MLB via sportsdataverse / pybaseball):

python -m pip install -e ".[multi]"

Optional developer/test extras:

python -m pip install -e ".[dev]"

Compatibility notes:

Python 3.10+ required.
Base install covers NFL (nflreadpy) and the scientific stack.
NBA/MLB team and player loaders need .[multi].
On macOS only, XGBoost pulled by sportsdataverse may need OpenMP: brew install libomp. Not required for skill-only installs and usually unnecessary on Linux.
Keep installs inside a project venv. Do not modify system Python.
Large public-data pulls and caches need explicit user authorization.

Decision workflow

Every bridge task follows this arc. Do not skip.

Name the downstream skill and its contract.
- What skill will consume the artifact?
- What grain, keys, and required fields does that skill document?
- If the contract is unknown, stop and open that skill first.
Decide whether sports_ds is necessary.
- User already has the table → skip the toolkit; hand the path to the skill.
- User wants public data only → prefer loader skills unless they asked for the toolkit.
- User asked for sports_ds / reference pipelines / normalized panels → continue.
Check importability before setup.
- Import + sports-ds --help first.
- Install only with authorization when missing.
Choose the narrowest surface.
- Loader/core API for data or one transform.
- CLI pipeline only when the user wants an end-to-end reference benchmark.
- Never default to the heaviest pipeline "to be helpful."
Materialize a portable artifact in the user's project.
- CSV / Parquet / JSON owned by the user.
- Stable path under their workspace (data/, artifacts/, etc.).
- No reliance on repo-relative paths or pipeline provenance.
Validate before handoff.
- Required columns present.
- Grain correct (team-game doubled? one row per decision? unique game ids?).
- Time fields usable for walk-forward.
- Missingness and row counts sane for the claimed window.
Hand off and stop.
- Tell the agent which standalone skill to run next.
- Do not keep modeling inside the bridge.
- Do not tell the next skill to import sports_ds.

Choose the narrowest toolkit surface

Need	Prefer	Avoid unless requested
NFL schedules / team-game panel	`sports_ds.data.nfl`	full win pipeline
NBA / MLB team-game panel	`sports_ds.data.nba` / `.mlb`	unrelated model pipeline
Player-game panels	matching `sports_ds.data.*_players`	team pipeline as substitute
Time-safe form features	`sports_ds.features`	copying pipeline internals
Feature legality catalog	`sports-ds feature-registry`	inventing column meanings
Elo ratings	`sports_ds.ratings`	end-to-end CLI run
Metrics / splits / leakage helpers	matching core module	pipeline-owned constants
Reproducible reference benchmark	`sports-ds` CLI pipeline + `--json-out`	treating output as universal schema

Loader-first pattern (preferred)

from pathlib import Path
from sports_ds.data.nfl import load_team_game_panel

panel = load_team_game_panel([2022, 2023, 2024])
required = {
    "season", "game_id", "gameday", "team", "opponent", "is_home",
    "points_for", "points_against", "point_diff", "won",
}
missing = sorted(required.difference(panel.columns))
if missing:
    raise ValueError(f"team-game panel missing columns: {missing}")

out = Path("data/nfl_team_games.parquet")
out.parent.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
panel.to_parquet(out, index=False)
print(out)

Then:

Use eda-sports on data/nfl_team_games.parquet. Confirm grain, coverage,
missingness, target balance, and modeling red flags.

CLI reference pattern (only when asked)

Discover the live surface; do not memorize a stale subset:

sports-ds --help
sports-ds feature-registry

Common reference commands:

# Team EDA
sports-ds nfl-eda --seasons 2023-2024
sports-ds nba-eda --seasons 2023-2024
sports-ds mlb-eda --seasons 2023-2024

# Team walk-forward benchmarks
sports-ds nfl-win-pipeline --seasons 2018-2024 --json-out artifacts/nfl_win.json
sports-ds nfl-margin-pipeline --seasons 2018-2024 --json-out artifacts/nfl_margin.json
sports-ds nfl-elo --seasons 2018-2024 --json-out artifacts/nfl_elo.json
sports-ds nfl-win-rich --seasons 2018-2024 --json-out artifacts/nfl_win_rich.json

sports-ds nba-win-pipeline --seasons 2023-2024 --json-out artifacts/nba_win.json
sports-ds mlb-win-pipeline --seasons 2023-2024 --json-out artifacts/mlb_win.json

# Player paths
sports-ds nfl-player-eda --seasons 2023-2024
sports-ds nfl-player-pipeline --seasons 2022-2024 --target fantasy_points_ppr --json-out artifacts/nfl_player.json
sports-ds nba-player-pipeline --seasons 2023-2024 --json-out artifacts/nba_player.json
sports-ds mlb-player-pipeline --seasons 2023-2024 --max-games 50 --json-out artifacts/mlb_player.json

# Trust checks inside the toolkit (still optional)
sports-ds calibrate --sport nfl --seasons 2018-2024 --json-out artifacts/cal.json
sports-ds leakage-audit --sport nfl --seasons 2023-2024 --json-out artifacts/leak.json

Pipeline JSON is a reference benchmark, not a silent schema for results-reporting or model-card. Translate keys explicitly or keep the benchmark self-contained and summarize it in plain language.

NHL note: historical sportsdataverse dumps have been unreliable. Prefer NFL/NBA/MLB unless the user explicitly accepts NHL limitations.

Handoff contracts

Bridge defaults live in references/handoff-contracts.md. The downstream skill remains the source of truth.

Minimum checks before handoff:

Team-game panel

one row per team per game (usually two complementary rows per game_id);
required fields present: season, game_id, gameday, team, opponent, is_home, points_for, points_against, point_diff, won;
won is binary from the focal team's view;
include week or another within-season order field when available.

Prediction table

one row per evaluated decision;
stable keys + y_true + y_pred or p_pred;
time/fold field such as season;
no silent renames.

Fold-metrics JSON

task, validation design, primary metric, per-fold n and scores;
baseline comparison included when the benchmark claims improvement;
map toolkit-specific keys before a reporting skill consumes them.

Elo / simulation schedule

one row per remaining matchup (not a doubled team panel);
unique game_id;
team, opponent, is_home, and either win_probability or documented ratings sufficient to compute it.

If validation fails, fix or rebuild the artifact. Do not hand garbage downstream and hope the next skill invents columns.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Likely cause	Fix
`ModuleNotFoundError: sports_ds`	toolkit not installed in active env	authorized editable install in project venv
`sports-ds: command not found`	scripts path / env not active	activate venv; reinstall editable; use `python -m sports_ds.cli` if needed
NBA/MLB import or loader fails	missing `.[multi]`	`pip install -e ".[multi]"` after approval
macOS native/OpenMP error	XGBoost/runtime prerequisite	`brew install libomp` or avoid multi path
Empty / tiny panel	season string, filters, or provider coverage	print seasons requested, row counts, date min/max
Pipeline JSON confuses reporting skill	schema mismatch	translate to portable fold-metrics object
Generic skill starts importing sports_ds	boundary violation	stop; export artifact; resume with standalone skill
User wanted "just EDA"	wrong skill	leave bridge; use `eda-sports` on their file
Cache / re-download surprises	provider cache behavior	disclose cache location and freshness; get approval for large pulls

Capture command, environment, package versions, and the exact error before changing dependencies.

Anti-patterns

Anti-pattern	Why it fails	Correct behavior
Install toolkit for every sports question	turns optional accel into hidden dependency	install only when needed and authorized
Tell `eda-sports` to `import sports_ds`	breaks skill-only installs	export portable file, then hand off
Treat pipeline JSON as universal schema	reporting lies about

# Sports DS Bridge

## Overview

`sports_ds` is an optional data and workflow accelerator that lives in the same
repository as this skill pack. It is **not** required by the other skills.

This bridge is the only skill allowed to talk about `sports_ds` setup, imports,
CLI commands, caches, and pipeline outputs. Its job is narrow:

1. decide whether the toolkit is actually needed;
2. set it up only with authorization;
3. use the narrowest toolkit surface that satisfies the request;
4. materialize a **portable** CSV / Parquet / JSON artifact;
5. validate that artifact against the downstream skill's own contract;
6. hand off to a standalone skill and stop.

The bridge is an integration boundary, not a second modeling stack. After the
handoff, generic skills must not call back into `sports_ds`.

Read [references/toolkit-map.md](references/toolkit-map.md) for concrete imports
and CLI routes. Read [references/handoff-contracts.md](references/handoff-contracts.md)
before writing an artifact for another skill.

## When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

- the user explicitly names `sports_ds`, `sports-ds`, or this repository's toolkit;
- the user wants the optional public-data loaders / normalized panels for
  NFL, NBA, or MLB;
- the user wants toolkit CLI reference pipelines or feature-registry output;
- the user needs setup, install, import, cache, or CLI troubleshooting for the toolkit;
- the user already has toolkit output and needs it translated into a portable
  artifact another skill can consume.

Do **not** use this skill when:

- the user already has usable CSV / Parquet / JSON and just wants EDA, features,
  models, validation, calibration, or reporting;
- a public loader skill (`nflreadpy`, `sportsdataverse-py`, `pybaseball`,
  `data-sources`) is enough and the user did not ask for the toolkit;
- you are tempted to make a generic skill "easier" by smuggling in a
  `sports_ds` dependency;
- the request is custom betting-market construction, pick selling, or claimed edge.

| Need | Prefer instead |
|---|---|
| Ordinary EDA on user data | `eda-sports` |
| Feature legality / leakage | `feature-rules`, `leakage-audit` |
| Baselines / predictive models | `baseline-models`, `predictive-modeling` |
| Public NFL load without toolkit | `nflreadpy` |
| Public MLB load without toolkit | `pybaseball` |
| Multi-sport source choice | `data-sources` / `sportsdataverse-py` |
| Environment only | `environment-setup` |

## Choose the narrowest toolkit surface

| Need | Prefer | Avoid unless requested |
|---|---|---|
| NFL schedules / team-game panel | `sports_ds.data.nfl` | full win pipeline |
| NBA / MLB team-game panel | `sports_ds.data.nba` / `.mlb` | unrelated model pipeline |
| Player-game panels | matching `sports_ds.data.*_players` | team pipeline as substitute |
| Time-safe form features | `sports_ds.features` | copying pipeline internals |
| Feature legality catalog | `sports-ds feature-registry` | inventing column meanings |
| Elo ratings | `sports_ds.ratings` | end-to-end CLI run |
| Metrics / splits / leakage helpers | matching core module | pipeline-owned constants |
| Reproducible reference benchmark | `sports-ds` CLI pipeline + `--json-out` | treating output as universal schema |

### Loader-first pattern (preferred)

```python
from pathlib import Path
from sports_ds.data.nfl import load_team_game_panel

panel = load_team_game_panel([2022, 2023, 2024])
required = {
    "season", "game_id", "gameday", "team", "opponent", "is_home",
    "points_for", "points_against", "point_diff", "won",
}
missing = sorted(required.difference(panel.columns))
if missing:
    raise ValueError(f"team-game panel missing columns: {missing}")

out = Path("data/nfl_team_games.parquet")
out.parent.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
panel.to_parquet(out, index=False)
print(out)
```

Then:

```text
Use eda-sports on data/nfl_team_games.parquet. Confirm grain, coverage,
missingness, target balance, and modeling red flags.
```

### CLI reference pattern (only when asked)

Discover the live surface; do not memorize a stale subset:

```bash
sports-ds --help
sports-ds feature-registry
```

Common reference commands:

```bash
# Team EDA
sports-ds nfl-eda --seasons 2023-2024
sports-ds nba-eda --seasons 2023-2024
sports-ds mlb-eda --seasons 2023-2024

# Team walk-forward benchmarks
sports-ds nfl-win-pipeline --seasons 2018-2024 --json-out artifacts/nfl_win.json

sports-ds nba-player-pipeline --seasons 2023-2024 --json-out artifacts/nba_player.json
sports-ds mlb-player-pipeline --seasons 2023-2024 --max-games 50 --json-out artifacts/mlb_player.json

# Trust checks inside the toolkit (still optional)
sports-ds calibrate --sport nfl --seasons 2018-2024 --json-out artifacts/cal.json
sports-ds leakage-audit --sport nfl --seasons 2023-2024 --json-out artifacts/leak.json
```

Pipeline JSON is a **reference benchmark**, not a silent schema for
`results-reporting` or `model-card`. Translate keys explicitly or keep the
benchmark self-contained and summarize it in plain language.

NHL note: historical sportsdataverse dumps have been unreliable. Prefer
NFL/NBA/MLB unless the user explicitly accepts NHL limitations.

## Handoff contracts

Bridge defaults live in
[references/handoff-contracts.md](references/handoff-contracts.md).
The downstream skill remains the source of truth.

Minimum checks before handoff:

### Team-game panel

- one row per team per game (usually two complementary rows per `game_id`);
- required fields present: `season`, `game_id`, `gameday`, `team`, `opponent`,
  `is_home`, `points_for`, `points_against`, `point_diff`, `won`;
- `won` is binary from the focal team's view;
- include `week` or another within-season order field when available.

### Prediction table

- one row per evaluated decision;
- stable keys + `y_true` + `y_pred` or `p_pred`;
- time/fold field such as `season`;
- no silent renames.

### Fold-metrics JSON

- task, validation design, primary metric, per-fold n and scores;
- baseline comparison included when the benchmark claims improvement;
- map toolkit-specific keys before a reporting skill consumes them.

### Elo / simulation schedule

- one row per remaining matchup (not a doubled team panel);
- unique `game_id`;
- `team`, `opponent`, `is_home`, and either `win_probability` or documented
  ratings sufficient to compute it.

If validation fails, fix or rebuild the artifact. Do not hand garbage downstream
and hope the next skill invents columns.
