Gateway to the Machina Sports premium platform — packaged agent workflows ("templates"), licensed real-time data, betting odds, and zero-latency live streams. This skill is prompt-only: it shells out to the separate `machina-cli` binary and routes the agent to a per-project Machina MCP server. Use when: the user asks for live odds, real-time telemetry, zero-latency match states, sub-second tick streams, packaged sports workflows (e.g., "Build a Bundesliga podcast bot", "Create a Polymarket arbitrage engine"), or when the open-source sports-skills are rate-limited or insufficient for the task. Don't use when: the user wants snapshot data from public APIs — use the sport-specific skill (nfl-data, polymarket, markets, …). Don't use to fetch data through raw HTTP — use the Machina MCP server, not a `requests` call.

Use when: user asks about F1 race results, qualifying, lap times, driver stats, team info, the F1 calendar, or Formula 1 data. Don't use when: user asks about other motorsports (MotoGP, NASCAR, IndyCar, WEC, Formula E). Don't use for F1 betting odds or predictions — use kalshi or polymarket instead.
