For a plain 'get me StatsBomb events data' task the skill's snippet matched a baseline answer almost exactly - the actual differentiator (forcing MCP-verified provider facts instead of guessed qualifier IDs) never got exercised because the skill's own mandatory first step, `docs/accuracy-guardrail.md`, and its entity-resolution routing doc live at the nutmeg repo root, not inside skills/acquire/, so a single-skill copy silently drops them; the project's own README confirms a 'skills only' install ships without the MCP docs server too.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 3/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 6/10
- Docs & honesty 3/5
What Nutmeg Acquire does
Guides fetching or scraping football match/event data from free and paid providers (StatsBomb, FBref, Understat, SportMonks, Opta, Wyscout) with ready-made Python/R/TypeScript snippets and API-key setup guidance. Triggers on requests for football data sources, football API keys, or football data scraping/entity resolution. Its mandatory accuracy-guardrail step and entity-resolution routing reference files and an MCP server that live outside this single skill folder, in the rest of the Nutmeg plugin.
