Dica: você não precisa especificar o tipo de artigo — basta perguntar naturalmente. O Sports Reporter identifica o contexto automaticamente.

CRITICAL: Before Any Article

Identify the article type — see the table below
Identify the sport — detect from context; refer to
```
references/sport-mapping.md
```
for the correct CLI module
Resolve IDs before calling specific endpoints — never guess team_id, event_id, or player_id
Collect data in parallel when possible — independent calls should run at the same time
Write the article only with confirmed data — if an endpoint fails, degrade gracefully (omit the section, do not invent)

Sport Identification

If the user does not specify the sport:

Detect from the team or player name mentioned
Refer to
```
references/sport-mapping.md
```
for the correct module
If ambiguous (e.g. "football" could be soccer or NFL), ask the user

Tone and Style

Journalistic and objective — data as anchor, no unsupported speculation
Always provide context — table position, point in the season, importance of the game
Strong lead — the first sentence captures the most relevant fact
Clear sections — use subheadings for longer articles
Precise numbers — cite exact statistics from the data; do not round without indicating
Language — write in the user's language (PT-BR by default if not specified)

Graceful Degradation

Situation	Action
xG unavailable (league outside top-5)	Omit xG section; use ESPN stats only
Game not yet started	Write a preview; indicate that lineups may not be confirmed
event_id not found	Try `get_scoreboard` or `get_daily_schedule` ; never guess the ID
player_id unknown	Use `search_player` or `get_team_roster` to resolve
Live data unavailable	Indicate game status and use data from `get_scoreboard`
Endpoint returns an error	Omit the corresponding section; briefly note in the text if relevant

Commands that DO NOT exist — never call

~~generate_article~~
— does not exist; you are the writer

~~get_live_scores~~
— use

get_scoreboard

(all sports) or

get_live_scoreboard

(NBA)

~~get_match~~
/ ~~get_results~~
— use

get_game_summary

with

event_id

~~get_box_score~~
— use
```
get_game_summary
```
~~get_odds~~
— use polymarket or kalshi skill if needed
~~get_head_to_head~~
(football) — returns empty; build H2H manually via schedules

If a command is not listed in

references/api-reference.md

, it does not exist.

Troubleshooting

Error: event_id not found Cause: ID was guessed or the game has not yet occurred Fix: Use

get_scoreboard --date=X

get_daily_schedule --date=X

to discover the correct event_id

Error: incorrect team_id Cause: Hardcoded or outdated ID Fix: Always call

get_teams

search_team

to resolve dynamically

Error: xG returns empty for a recent game Cause: Understat has a 24-48h lag after the match Fix: Omit xG and use ESPN statistics only; try again later

Error:
sports-skills
not found Fix:
